publish it in full: ti'3n
While thousands were scanning the
heavense last night, searching for show.
Lers of meteurs from the constellation OF
Leo, Jimmy Douglas was the silent wit

Douglas recently made, . draw with
Arthur Jones, the local feather, and on
the strength OF his showing against
Arthur he was stacked against Farrell.
While Farrell and Douglas we're prepar-
ing their toilet for last nights function,
Jones, accompanied by cake walk, shirt
and chrysanthemnm, crawled between
the ropes and announced that he was
prepared for glove bother with the win
ner of the mill. FarneEs tawny face re-

Douglas staff of grooms were Jack
Stanley and Jack Cleary. When Frank
Switzer gave the cue for the first round
Farrel executed rag-time step around
the ring, his left arm swaying like . pen

led with light left for neck, a short
half hook.
On the next lead the octoroon found
Jimmy on the jaw with righs, ,and Jimmy
cOuntered feebly on jacks shoulder.
Farrers left dallied with Jimmy's jowl,
and left swing located Jimmy over the
yictual receptacle. Jimmy sneaked IN a
clean left lab on Jacks face at the gong
tap. =.
Farrell assaulted the wind with his
right in an attempt to rock Jimmy to
slumber, this being the first effort in the
second round. The Quaker stepped be-
yond the swing, and came back with
straight jab that reposed onthe Roman
probOscis OF the octorooIn. r Farrel, how
ever, was doing q backstep when
Jlmmy's left nestled on Jacks face, and
the blow was mere straw tickle. Doug
las, at close range, met Jack on the left
eyebrow, and Jacks brow puifed. Far
rel then pushed Douglas ground the
ring, landing on body with right and
left, driving home both hands on
Jimmy's framework. Then they swung
into clinch, and slipped and fell. ~
Carney tipped Farrell to. mingle with
Jimmy at short range for. the third
round. Fare, took the cue by wading
into the Quaker foe, introducing the
slaughter with hard drive for body that
Jimmy halfway blocked. {. One straight
left from Farrell twisted Jimmy's head
around till he beheld the back Of his
neck. When Jimmy's head Topped
back to its normal pose, he made a
feeble break, but his advance was
checked by a rude slap on the face from
Jacks cruel knuckles.
Jimmy imagined that the whole bunch
OF the Leo constellation had made CEN
ter-Iine rush for his face. He careened,
back. stepped, and keeled over on his
back, but instead Of taking an eight or
nine seconds recess, he rashly got to his
feet to be met with swift right on the
body.
The fourth round found Jimmy ON the
retreat, but bis backward eight toward
Queer street was hurried by the shiity
feet of the octoroon, who fell afoul OF
the Quaker and unloaded rights and .leits
OH body and face, now planting his right
over the kidneys and then beating tat
too on the Quaker stats, varying the
tactics with short-arm pursuaders in the
jaw, inside crosses, outside slings, and
every number in the Queensberry books.
1t was agreed that the men were to box
with the free hand on breaking from the
clinches, and Farrell clinched this advan-
tage by driving home the right for body
and whipping up the left for jaw. Doug
las was beaten after half q minutes
fighting in the fourth. His guard was
completely broken by the awful drive OF
the octoroon. ~
Douglas is more than passing clever
as a boxer, but his cleverness was com
pletely smothered by the strength OF his
opponent. He swirled in the middle Of
the ring after break from q clincb, and
went to the floor in respeDse to . short
right jolt. Douglas was the:Eecipient OF
bad msuling. His left eye locked as
il it had been Interviewed by a sledge:
