TwENTY-RoUND DRAW.
Good Showing Made by Frank Erne
Against Kid LaviGne.

Good Showing Made by Frank Erne
Against Kid Lavfgne.
NEW YORK, Sept 2S.-Kid Lavigne,
lightweight champion pugilist of the world,
came very near losing his title tonight at
the Greater New York Athletic Club in a
twenty-round bout with Frank Erne of
Buffalo. Erne proved Tartar for the Sag
NAV boxer, who is not the Lavigne of three
years ago by any means. Erne's wonderful
improvement was a surprise to the seven
thousand people who witnessed the fight.
He drew Lavigne to him and sent back as
good as he got in many of the rounds, while
in some of them he outpointed the cham
pion. 1t was generally understood that de-
cision was to be given on points, and the
statement made at the end of the bout that
both men had agreed to call it draw in
case the men were good and strong at the
keen disappointment to a host of Erne's
friends who looked for a favorable verdict
Erne deserves the greatest praise that can
be bestowed on him for his clever work,
and had the bout been decided on points
he certainly would have got the champion
Ship honors and the winners prize of the
Neutrality-suspicious. purse which the club
hung up for the contest. The men who laid
odds of 3 to on Lavigne looked sick toward
the end of the bout, particularly IN the last
two rounds, when Erne was getting the bet
ter of his opponent, and if the men were to
meet again even money would be the ruling
odds. Erne on his showing tonight, has
the championship almost at his n.ercy.
Erne's principal second was Kid Mccoy:
Jim Corbett. who was to have seconded
Lavgne. was unable to be present, owing
to injuries received from Kid Mccoy in
their fight to-day in Broadway hotel.
