FLAHERTY GIVEN THE DECISION

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct 29.-An audi
encc of 1900 people saw the event under
the auspices Of the Horizon Athletic
CLUB here last night. The first thing on
the program was u bout between Harry
.larnison (colored) of Bridgeport and Jan
Murphy Of Waterbury. JaInison battled
only ~ seconds and then quit
The next event was l0-round go be
tween Sammy Meyers of New York and
.ios Kelly of Troy. he fight was a hot
one and the audcnce was exaspera;ed
when the decision was awarded in favor
of Meyers by Referee Charles White of
New York. Opinion seemed to be that
Kelly had the best of 1t oil through. 1t
is alleged that Meyers fouled number of
times, but the referee failed to admit it.
The star event of the evening was the
bout between Martin Flaherty of Lowell,
Mass, and Danny Nc Bride Of New York.
This was announced to be q l5-round 90.
In point Of science Mcbride was away
ahead Of Flaherty, but did not have the
staying powers. In tbs second round
Flaherty committed (unintentionally) "a
foul and was warned by Referee White.
After that Flaheriy was more careful. In
the 10th round Flaherty had Mcbride go-
ing and tho in1ghting became so dis,
that they clinched, ana tho referee won't
in to separate them. AT that time one
of McBrde's seconds went into the ring
and interfered, and then tho referee
awarded tho decision to Flaherty. 1t is
the opinion, however that Mcbride. but
for the interference, wGuld have stayed
in the fight the full number of rounds.
