BOXING in BELLEVUE.
Number OF Ring Events in the Tourney
Of the Arlington Athletic
Club.

A crowd of nearly one hundred
sports, a number of them from the
central city, witnessed a series of box
ing bouts under the auspices Of the Ar
lington Athletic club in Golden's hall,
Bellevue, last night. The only good
event was between Bartly Mangan
and Henry Woods, of Bellevue, but
theirs was of the exhibition order for
three rounds and with the understand
ing that there would be no decision.
John Tighe, of the South Side, was
referee and John Barrett, of Bellevue,
time keeper. The Arlington club OFF,
GERS who managed the affair were
John Malloy, president; Michael Ro-
gan, secretary; and Michael Golden
treasurer. All the bouts were Of three
rounds duration and were marked by
slugging and the tender ages of the
contestants. The first event was be-
tween John Nallin, of the flats, and
John Dunleavy, of the West Side Ath-
letic club. They were 11O-pound lads
and boxed three rounds. Nallin, though
the shorter and with disadvantage in
reach forced matters in the first two
rounds. 1t was a vicious fight. In
the final round Dunleavy met Nal
swings on the body and head. Both
were weak at the finish and the bout
was declared a draw.
John Sheridan and Patrick Ford, 110-
pound youngsters Of Bellevue, met in
a three-round go and each put up as
fast an argument as was witnessed
in the preceding bout. 1t was d

MALLoY-M'LOUGHLIN BOUT.
The next pair. William Mclaughlin,
of the West Side, and Patrick Malloy,
of the Arlingtons, appeared in trousers
and sleeveless jerseys. They weighed
about 125 pounds, and spared three
rounds. Malloy is a brother of the NAL
10y who was nearly put out by Tighe
in Music Hall Monday night. He had
a little science at his command, while
Mclaughlin had none, but he was a
strong, husky boy and gave Malloy a
hard battle. The latter did most of the
leading in the last round and got the
decision. Mclaughlin drew first blood
in the second round.
Patrick Sheridan, of the Arlingtons
and Thomas Ruddy, of the West Side
Athletic club, met at 11S pounds. Sheri-
dan showed very fair knowledge OF
the game and outclassed Ruddy a mile
They tapped one another in a fashion
which made 1t plain that they were
fondling each other. An inebriated
spectator began singing Comrades
but it did not encourage the pair tc
any faster work. In the second round
Sheridan hit Ruddy at will, but pur
posely avoided many chances to flnisf
him. Claret was flowing from Ruddy'.

final round Sheridan warmed up a lit
tie and after showing his right int
Ruddy's face several times the lattel

Sheridan.
BY far the best event of the nigh
was that between Henry Woods, o
Bellevue, and Barley Mangan, of tn,
Arlington club. They were very evenly
matched at 140 pounds and boxed thre,
rounds. Theirs was an exhibition
event and concluded the entertainment
