SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-Jack Ev-
erhart Of New Orleans was given the de-
cision over Spider" Kelly tonight after
twenty rounds Of fighting. Everhart
sustained his reputation as a rusher
From the eound of the bell for the first
round until the gong sounded at the end
of the twentieth the Southerner was af
ter his man. While Jack was the ag-
gressor, he had not the cleverness of the
local man. Kelly is long range fighter
and while not hard hitter is exceed
ingly clever in Guiding rushes and stop
ping them with straight lefts. Everhart
was the stronger of the two, and in close
work may be fairly classed as superior
to Kelly. Several times Kelly put in
some straight left blows which straight
ened up Jack, but the latter came right
| on after each clinch and compelled Kelly
to do some lively sprinting about the
ring. In point of cleverness Kelly clearly
outpointed Everhart, but began to tire
| from the terrific pace after the twelfth
round. In the thirteenth Everhart
| caught Kelly over the right eye with
left swing which opened cash in the
| Spiders" face from which the blood
| flowed throughout the remainder of the
| fight. Kelly braced up in the nineteenth
and put in some staggering lefts on
Jacks jaw, but the sturdy southerner
kept right after his opponent. While the
| decision was not popular with the ma
| jority of the spectators, this may be
partly accounted for by the fact that he
was the local man and that he was on
the short end in the betting'
The first event on the card, a ten round
go between Charlie Reno of this city and
Eddie Anderson a green youngster from
San Pedro, served admirably as an ap-
petzer, for the latter fought his nRre
experienced opponent to a standstill and
would in all probability have won out
had the mill bee nprolonged. AS there
was no knockout, however, Referee
O'Donnell declared the bout a draw.
The next event was middleweight
contest between Frank Purcell of Salt
Lake and Jack Weady, a bluejacket
which was scheduled for fifteen rounds.
The sailor, however, proved easy game
for Purcell, although he put up hard
| fight for nine rounds. In the tenth Pur-
cell floored him repeatedly with smashes
on the jaw and the sailor was finally
