AMATEUR NIGHT
Five Rounds Fought by Unknown
PugS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. = The
Olympic club gave an amateurs night"
at its gymnasium tonight. Five bouts
were brought off, all the participants
being local men except one-Jaclo O. Cara
of Tacoma. O'Gara was much more
clever than his opponent, Frank Ely,
but the latter's peculiar and awkward
style seemed to rattle the Tacoma man
at critical times. Ely was given the
decision after four rather tame rounds
The best bout was between P. Egan ana
r. Wiedmeyer, 135-pound boxers. Both
were clever, but Egan's terrific punches
were too much for Weidmeyer and the
former was given the decision.
e. Fentress knocked out F. Crowley
In the fourth round. The men weighed
40 pounds each.
q ]. Granfield was given the decision
over G. Mulligan and J. Leahy defeated
L. swiggins at 14O pounds. All were four
round bouts.
