BUT MCCONNELL GAVE HIM TOO
Talk Of Another Corbett
Match at Carson-Croots' Killers
Out on Bail

OAKLAND, Dec. H.-Lon Agnew and
Frank Mcconnell met at the Acme club
last night. Each man weighed in at 145
pounds. Billy Elmer, whom Mcconnell
recently put out, was behind Agnew;
Aleck Greggains was behind Mcconnell.
The first round was all McConnell's.
He rushed Agnew and hit him where he
would. Agnew forced the second round,
but his lead was stopped. However. he
made Mcconnell feel his weight and the
round was Agnew's. Mcconnell rushed
the third round and 1t was closed in his
favor. In the fourth round Agnew went
twice to the floor and was groggy when
time was called. Mcconnell came like a
whirlwind in the fifth round, and when
1t closed he had everything his way. The
sixth round ended with Agnew's star
coming up, but both men were tired.
Mcconnell rushed the seventh round and
.Agnew showed himself to be a glutton
for punishment, and at the finish had
Mcconnell almost going. The last
round was a very even one. Mcconnell
was declared the winner.
After the decision Agnew hit Phil
Wand, the referee, and lively scene
was only quieted by the officers Of the
club.
