Four Hotiy Contested Bouts at the Arena A. c.
SHOW.

Four Hotiy Contested Eloats at the Arena A. G.
The four promising bouts put on by the Arena
A. c. last night attracted a crowd which filed
the house from ringside 20 roof. The schedule
called for forty-fve rounds altogether. and II
Tommy Tully had not come 10 the rescue OF the
management with a timely knockout the show
would have broached the sabbath.
Tully figured in the star bout. his opponent
being Young Brophy. Both men are west sid
ers. and the rivalry between them almost
amounts 10 q teud.
The first pair entered the ring at $40 O'Clock.
They were Eddie Goodbody OF New York and
Jack Doyle Of Brooklyn. matched for fen rounds
at 112 pounds Doyle showed more reach speed.
and cleverness than his opponent in the earlier
rounds and cut the New Workers. face up pretty
over the eye. Goodbody improved as he went
along, and the verdict OF n draw was received
with cheers.
some fast fighting siRnalized the second bout
a ten-round go at catch weights between young
Regan and Joe Moran. both OF Brooklyn. Both
were willing and fairly clever and wasted iittl.
time in foot racing. The men grew wild as they
stepped up for the final round and showered
swings al close quarters which never landed.
After wasting a minute at the windmill style
they stepped away and played At long range FOR
an opening Regain had the ad dvantase in some
light exchanges and was declared the winner.
A rafting bout was anticipated when Tom
Cannon Of Providence faced Jimmy German of
Troy FOR ten rounds al l3S POUNDS. The results
far exceeded expectations, as the men fought
like tigers almost from star to finish. German
opened aggressively and reached his man once
with each hand. but German kept cautiously
out Of range most OF the time. The Providence
man reversed his tactics with n vengeance in
the second round and sailed in for keeps. Fierce
rallies. infghting, and clinching famed ex-
Citement TO fever heat. and Cannon lost favor
with the crowd by working the one arm free Il"
rule for all il was worth. He made matters
worse by letting ny at his man in breakAways-
After that he was tagged by the hleacher
sports. and his splendid work in the remaining
rounds WAS. greeted with hoots, Misses. and
groans. Referee DE Baum came in for his share
but he squared himself by calling the affair a
draw.
This cleared the way for the Tully- -Rrophy
bout, fifteen rounds at lis pounds. Such q
clean. clever. and fast fight thess boys put ur
is rarely seen. Every round was fln of action,
and honorss were fairly even, as altetugh Tully
took u slight lead in the earlier roun..s Brophy's
work from the fifth TO the ninth brought his
stock to par. During these rounds Tully tried
repeat tcdly for the jaw with his right but failed
TO connect. In the tenth. however. instead OF
swinging he brought his right up sharply at
half range. and left OF the same pattern An
ished Brophy in short order.
