PAT RAEDY DEFEATED.
Knocked Out in the Eighth Round
by Nick Burley.

Knocked Out in the Eighth Round
by Nick Burley.
Pat Raedy, the local middle-weight cham
pion. was defeated by Nick Burley, the
Californian, in sparring bout in the arena
of the Spa Athletic Club last night. The
men weighed in at less than 15S pounds.
In the eighth round Raedy was knocked
out. During the first six rounds the fight
was of a fairly fast character but in the
last two there was some very hot fighting,
Raedy being knocked down five times.
Raedy fought the best he knew how and
was game to the last giving up only when
exhausted nature refused to respond to
his desires. He put up vicious, aggressive
fight so long as his strength lasted. and
only succumbed to a rapid succession of
heavy right and left-handers on the jaw.
Burley clearly overmatched the local man
In every essential, except, perhaps, brute
strength. and his superior skill and gener-
alShip easily Offset that single advantage.
The Cali ,ornian played waiting game UNI
til Raedy had tired himself out, when he
sailed in and knocked him down time after
time until at last he was counted out.
Raedy was pretty badly beaten, and was
not able to leave the ring for half an hour
after the fight was over.
Although Burley was the favorite with
the betting men. Raedy was decidedly more
popular with the crowd. Tim Hurst was
referee and gave general satisfaction in
holding the men to the rules.
Tody Banks and Arthur JONES' two clever
dghtweights, fought six rounds to a draw
as preliminary: The attendance was the
largest at any similar event in this vicin-
ity since the meeting between Mcmillan
and Raedy at the Eureka Athletic Club
near jackson City several years ago.

If he wanted to get cheaper pair he had
better go to another store. He simply
laughed and said it would be all right.

He stated. further, that while there was no
agreement in the matter, he sent trade
from the hotel to the store, which in the
course or year amounted up to a large
sum, and the proprietors Of the shoe
store knew this. It was a very simple
matter when guest at the hotel asked
to be told a good place at which to buy
pair Of shoes, to name this firm, and also
to tell the guest he might mention the
1act OF his being sent there by the clerk

against the little transaction.
Hotel clerks should be and are gener-

guests asks what particular theater is the
best to attend. In nine cases out of ten the

not to participate In a conference including
Russia and Japan. and the statement is
made that up to the sd Of last month the
United States authorities had fully ex-
pected that the conference would proceed

Britain. present.
1t is pointed out that aside from the
written correspondence. to which Lord Sal

verbal negotiations between Ambassador
Hay and Lord Salisbury In which specific
reference was made to the participation Of
Russia and Japan. At che of these verbal
exchanges. 1t Is stated, Lord Salisbury said
he would advise with the officials Of the
foreign Office concerning the subjects dis

Twenty-round contests will be tabooed,
eight rounds. under strict police regula-
