q PENNSYLVANIA ST.
LASTED THREE ROUNDS
JIMMIE BLACKWELL PUT To SLEEP
BY LACEY. OF PHILADELPHIA
The Stranger Was the Smaller Nan,
but He knew More About Prize
Fighting Than the Local Sport.

Last night Peter Lacey. OF Philadelphia.
Knocked out Jimmie Blackwell. in an old
barn near the city. i'm three rounds that
showed much science on the part OF both
fighters. The mill was announced as a ten
round contest for points but ii never got
that far along. Lacey went into the ring
al least fifteen pounds lighter than Black
well but he showed that weight made little
difference. Blackwell has been the idol OF
the sports of this city. but he has fallen
from the pedestal on which he was placed.
He has had several fights recently and has
always been the victor, bu; last night he
dropped so soon and so suddenly that his
admirers now have little regard for him.
Ii was just l O'Clock when the men en-
tered the ring. The spectators. most OF
whom were strangers TO the prize ring in
this part of the country, Immediately sized
up Blackwell as the winner. He is much
heavier and seemed to be much stronger
built, although Lacey showed that he was
very strong and muscular for his size,
being three inches shorter than Blackwell.
The first round put Blackwell in much
greater favor than at first. Lacey seemed
inclined TO avoid him ard Blackwell picked
up courage from this fact. and thereby lost
the fight In this round Lacey's trainer
called foul on a blow that was just a little
above the belt and Blackwell did not like
il from the fact that the trainer was i'm the
ring where he had no right to be Black
well suddenly left the fight and kicked the
trainer in the face. at the same time de"
manding that he be taken out OF the ring.
The fellow went out without further invi-
tation.
In the second round it again seemed that
Blackwell was the better man. He had the
advantage. if any were gained. The round
was mostly devoted 10 simple sparring
and there were no blows that counted for
anything
1t was the third round where the work
of the Philadelphia boy showed itself. He
had shown that he had enough activity
before by avoiding a number of very
vicious blows aimed by Blackwell, but had
shown little inclination to do much fight
ing himself. Shortly after the third round
began Lacey landed a Highlander on
Blackwells jaw which dazed the Indian
apolis boy for a moment. and he went
almost 10 the ground. but recov-
cred himself He had sooner reached
his feet than another blow on the jaw.
followed by second, Immediately put him
on the floor again. This time ne did not
get up Immediately. He recovered. how
ever. before being called out and went at
IL again. He was too groggy ror any fight
ing and three more ticks in the same pace
and did not move while the time keepers
counted ten. and then the fight was de-
clared i'm favor of Lacey.
About one hundred people witnessed the
hight. BESIDES an admission fec OF 81. OF
which the winner got a part. there was L
side bet OF 800 in which he was interested.
