MAHER THE WINNER.
"MULDoON'S BLACK THUNDER
BOLT" WAS NOT IN 1T.
In Six Rounds Peter Has the Negro
Whipped-Black Nan All But
Out in the Second.

Buffalo, Feb. 15.-Peter Maher, the
Irish champion pugilist, defeated C. c.
Smith, "Muldoons black thunderbolt,
in six rounds before the Empire Ath
letic club of this city tonight. Maher
had Smith all but out in the second
round, but in the succeeding rounds
he was very slow and seemed to tire
easily. He showed anything but cham
pionship form and made a decidedly
unfavorable impression. The house
was well filled. number of Pittsburg-
ers having come from the Smoky City
to witness the contest.
In Smiths corner were Charles
Marks. George Church and AL Dean.
Makers seconds were Buck Cornelius
and Peter Lowrey of Pittsburg.
Peter was in fine fettle, his flesh
white and firm as marble, while Smith
looked like an ebony Apollo.
Peter was cool and confident, and
the "thunderbolt" displayed all his
worries in an expansive grin.
The men shook hands at 10 o'clock.
The fight by rounds follows:
Round 1-Maher put two light lefts
on the face Smith landed left on the
chin and right on wind. Peter swung
hard left on mouth and staggered
Smith with right on the ear. In the
clinch Maher struck Smith twice.
There were loud cries of Foul" and
Smiths seconds rushed into the ring
and dragged their man to his corner.
Round 2-Maher jabbed left on the
face twice and followed with hard
right on the ear. Smith. reached Pc
ter's face with good left. Peter sent
left to wind and Smith came back
with two in the same place. Maher
swung left on ear. knocking the col
ored man fiat on his face. Smith got
up slowly and Peter rained blows on
the head and wind as Smith leaned
over the ropes without attempting to
defend himself. Smith clinched as the
bell rang.
Round 3-Maher jabbed left on the
face and Smith put light left on wind,
rushing Peter to the ropes Smith
rushed again and Peter got away.
Smith jabbed left in stomach and Ma
her put left on wind. Maher jabbed
left on the mouth and they clinched
The fourth and fifth rounds were
tame, both men appearing to be very
tired.
Round and last-The men were slow
to get together and there were loud
Kisses from the audience. Peter jabbed
Smith lightly on the face with left
and the latter knocked Peters head
back with left jolt on the chin Pc
ter swung left on ear and Smith
ducked a savage right swing. Peter
jabbed left on the mouth and left and
right on head hard. The men were
sparring for wind as the bell rang.
Referee Doescher then declared Ma
her the winner. Maher weighed IFS
and Smith $50 pounds.
The preliminary contests were be-
tween Laden Campbell of Pittsburg
and Sammy Brown of this city, who
were to box eight rounds at 12S
pounds. Brown was knocked out in
the fourth round. Neither man showed
any skill.
The next pair were Jim Liant of

rounds at 140 pounds. Liant easily out

strength and knocked him out in the
second round.

EXPERT OPINIONS.
Two Men Who Say They Think Cor
bett Will Win.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-James ].
Corbett started for Carson this after
noon, accompanied by his trainers, Billy
Delaney and Jack McVey.
The early part of this afternoon he
spent in a handball court. where he
played several games with his brother
Joe and James j. Nealon. Afterward
he put on the gloves and boxed four
rounds with McVey.
Walter Watson, boxing instructor of
the Olympic club, who is prObaly as
intimately acquainted with Corbett as
is any man in the state, in speaking
of the coming event today, remarked
that he thought the Californian would
win, and declared that Corbett is in
magnificent condition.
Il have looked him over and believe
he is at least 20 pounds heavier than
he was when he went against Shar-
key continued Watson. his shoulders
are finely developed and it is matter
of wonder TO me that he could have
rounded so well in so short a time
That Corbett is in good mettle is
shown by his desire to fight. Were he
out of trim or were it impossible for
him TO train for the event he would
never have signed to fight.
''All l am afraid of now is that EitZ
Will back out, as l am thoroughly
convinced he would never have signed
for the match had he not believed Cor
bett was back number"
Aleck Greggains is another who has
the greatest faith in Corbett. This af-
ternoon he saw the champion at work
in the handball court.
Il don't Sc how Corbett can lose"
said he, las he is far cleverer than
Fitzsimmons and will be in excellent
condition to fight a long-drawn battle
on March II.
In my opinion. Jim is now better
than ever and he is ready to enter the
ring now. In playing handball he does
an immense amount of work, as he
tries to take all the balls, and springs
about the alley with the agility of
cat. His wind appears to be in ex-
cellent shape and his legs are fuller
and frmer than they were when ne
went against Sharkey less than year
ago"

Fits Peculiar Promise.

Colorado Springs. Feb. 15.-Robert
Fitzsimmons appeared here tonight
and gave boxing contest at the Coli
scum. He authorized the statement
after exhibition that he had signed an
agreement with William Hearst, of the
New York Journal and San Francisco
Examiner, that he would give those
papers the exclusive account of his fight
with Corbett, which is to come off in
Nevada. This statement was made in
the presence of a number of newspaper
men. He seid the papers had been
signed in Jersey City about three
weeks ago. Correspondent Davis, of
the New York Journal. was present at
the time and endeavored to belittle
the significance of such a contract.
Fitzsimmons was loathe to talk con-
corning the matter. and said it rested
in the hands of his manager, Julian.
1t was a purely business proposition,
he said.
The Fitzsimmons party left on
late train for the west and upon ar
irving in Nevada Fitzsimmons will i'm
mediately go into heavy training.
