When glove fight does not last full round
there is bound 10 be some kicking. II was,
therefore, perfectly natural that the spectators
who went to the Arena A. c., Seventh avenue
and Forty-second street, last night to sec bat
tie between heavy weights should DO disappoint-
Cd when Joe Butler, the oolored fighter from
Philadelphia, made a chopping block Of Jack
Cattanach, tho Providence hammer thrower. In
the first round. Butler was beaten into sub

c. not long ngo, and 1t did not take q half q
dozen rounds to do 1t either. The last time
Cattanach fought in this vicinity he was cut
into ribbons at Coney Island by Stove o'Donnell
Consequently a contest between such quick
losers did not promise great deeds. Cattanaoh
had neither science nor hitting power with
which TO put up . respectable fight, and as But
Ter realized this in few seconds aftor shaking
hands he simply boat the Providence man down
in less time than 1t takes to tell 1t. Butler was
substituted at the last moment for Dick Moore
Of St. Paul, who was originally billed. Walter
De Baum offciated az referee, Teddy Foley was
the timekeeper, and Fred Grody introduced the
various contestants to the spectators.
1t was not until 9:o5 o'clock that the opening
tussle was put on. This was tenround mix-up
ut 100 pounds between Jack McClenncn Of Pitts
burgh and Charley Leopold Of this city. The for
NOR had couple of inches in height to help him
and looked a trife weightier than the local
boxer. As the first round was somewhat tame
several impatient sports showed how they felt
by chirping like drivers Of road horses.
This encouragement, IL 1t could be 90 called,
served to make tho men hustle little, and tho
second round was much hvolier. McClennen
set the pace with swiftly delivered left-hand
tabs until Leopold wsllopei him on the jaw
with right swing, which left mark. Leopold
then rushed in with copious swings, but the
Pittsburgher responded 30 rapidly that Char
