OF points during the contest. The award
was just and fair and every man of un-
prejudiced mind conceded with the
referee.
The story of the fight can be briefly told.
Connolly entered the ring knowing that
his opponent did not fulfill his engage
ment as regards weight, but being conf
consented to fight, after the president oil
the club had had conference with him.
According to the articles of agreement
the men were to weigh in at 135 pounds al
noon on the day of the battle.
Connolly fulfilled his part of tho con-
tract, bat igIer tipped the beam a: 14c
pounds Manager Abrahams was non.
plussed when he saw Z.igler weigh in,
but rather than have the public disap.
engagement, and he Is now regretting his
foolish step.
The fight was not as interesting as the
sports expected, because of Zeigler's own
peculiar style, which il about as awkward
as could possibly be imagined.
The Philadelphia is not new man to
the sports of this city. They have seen
him and Green in action, AMI they were
not disappointed when they saw him
hunched up. camel-fashion, and swinging
right and left In style hard to initiate.
Connolly, on the other hand, is q very
stylish fighter, but he found in Zsig!er an
opponent whose measure was hard to take.
The first ten rounds OF the mill were
stubbornly contested. 1t was the give and
take order, and the fighting was at very
close range. Zeigler made several at
the jaw of the lad from New B unswick.
but Connolly invaris bly, avoided sleep
warmer, shifting his head quickly. allow
ing Zegler's big right TO shoot over his
neck and land with thud on his pack.
But Zsigler hao one nasty punch which
Connolly felt frequently, and that was a
short-arm blow IN the ribs: then that
"never know what is coming" left hand
hook bothered Connolly also. But the
New Brunswicker was game and took his
medicine like little man and returned
compliment Tor com plimenf until the
closing rounds of the fight, when his
strength commenced to wane, and Zeig-
Ter, who was strong to the finish, at
tempted to smother him with right and
left swings, which appeared to come from
no particular direction.
The first round Of the fight was evenly
contested. Ziegler had the better of the
second. In the third there was vicious
fighting. but Zeiger had shade the best
OF it. In the fourth Connol V warmed up
10 the game and punched z.igler hard
with the right in the short ribs, scoring a
good lead at the finish.
The fifth was also holly contested.
Connolly forced the pace, but was re.
pulsed by the Philadelphia near the
finish. after very hot rally, from which
Zegler came out best man.
The sixth was evenly contested, both
men scoring about a like number OF
points. Connolly had the better of the
seventh round, but in the eighth Zeigler

Elmer fighting was great disappoint-
ment TO his friends. In bis former battles
in this city he showed that he possessed
straight left of promising execution.
Last night, EN- ulating the m odern Fl shters,
he chansed it to swing and 1t lost all of
its cunning.
From the first exchange in the first
round, owing 10 Elmer's tactics until
the sixth, it was evident to those CONVEX =
ant with the game how the battle would
go. 1t looked Case, and so it proved TO be.
Even in ths hot EXCHANGES in the fifth
round Case never lest his cunning. He
was always nursing his right to connect
with Elmer's chin.

Case was the first to enter the ring. He
was esoulred by Jim Carr and Eddy Will

come. He was seconded by Jack SteIzner,
Patsy Corrigan and hugh Kennedy. Leon
Dennery was the timekeeper for the club.
Both fighters had their hands in band
ag,s.
The first round opened with light
exchanges. Case planted a lett on
jaw, watch was followed by q ciinch.
Elmer swung his left instead of sending 1t
straight from the shoulder. 1t missed its
mark and Case sent in body blow. The
Denverite avoided wicked swing Case
Landed telling one in the region OF the
solar plexus. Elmer gently reminded
Case that he was in the fight by reaching
him with left swing. The men were
strong at the close of the round.
Elmer in the second made some wicked
swings, nearly all OF which fell short or
were avoided. Case landed right on Ell
mer's neck and left on mouth. This
aroused the actor and he sawed the air
wildly with his right. Elmer swung reck-
lessly with his left. In nearly all his pre-
liminary movements he te!egraphed his
blows. The round was in Cases favor.
At the com mencement of the third
round Case sent in a telling right on the
body, followed by left on the neck and
repeated the dose. Elmer landed ght
on body and missed corker for the neck
by TWO inches. Case planted a nice left
on the nose, which sent Elmer's head
back, and repeated same on body. Elmer
