Although the Chester Boy Was
Game He Had No Chance.
The SHOW WAS A SUCCESS.
Lenny and Glynn Fight Declared
or on Account of Glynn's
Sprained Ankle.

The Tuxedo Athletic Club, OF Chester.
gave their first show in this city last
night at Pyle's Cycling Academy.
Though the weather was miserable
and had tendency to keep people in
doors, Pyle's Academy contained a large
crowd of sports, something unusual to
zee at such contests in this city
Everybody seemed pleased after the
show was over, even if they did not see
the star contest of the night-the one be-
tween Glinn and Ienny. This was no
fault Of the club.
What stopped the affair was Glynn
having a spraincd ankle. OF course this
vas great disappointment, but the
'oout which was substituted proved to be
acorker.
The first thing on the carpet was an
nounced to be a lO-round contest be-
tween George Russell, of New Castle,
and Jack Cannon, Of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Russell was the first to appear with
Moriarity as his second. Then came
Cannon. a tall lanky fellow, who out
weighed Russell about twenty pounds.
Harry Marks was referee and Joe De
Lane tmekeeper
At the call of time both men came to
the center and spared about one minute
when Russell lead with left and missed,
then both clinched. Both sparring when
time was called. Second round was Il
lively one tor time, but Russell makes
a rush and both Russell and Cannon fall
against the ropes, one of the posts break
at this time and both men fall on the
floor below. Third round was peach,
LoAt, Er1,tinsv 1tlyn In,nnn, RnccnlI
landing with right and left got but one
blow in return. This round was all Rus
sells.
Fourth Round, both sparring, then
Russell let himself out and gave his OPP
ponent good punching. Again spar
ring when Russell lands terrific left in
the stomach and crosses with his right
on Cannon's jaw and the tall lanky coon
is out. This makes Russell the winner.
So as not to dissappoint the audience
Moriarity and young Smyrna of Chester,
was substituted for the Glynn-lHnny
contest.
This bout proved to be warm affair
from beginning to end. 1t was easily
teen that Mory was up against very
game lad although he had no chance on
earth, he tickIcd the people by his
gameness. But Mory was mercful,
and many time he would not hit
Smyrna when II good punch would
have put the lad from Chester in dream
land. After the ten rounds was over
the referee gave Mory tie decision.
Manager Moseley being good fellow
and willing to make good with the
crowd, wound up the show with six
round fight between two black lads,
Fisher, from this city, and Blackiston,
OF Chester. These two bows amused the
sports by pounding each other for SIX
rounds, and at the end the referee gave
very Just decision of a draw The
management of the entertainment de-
serve great credit for their show last
evening, and it is to be hoped that they
will give many more.
Every man in town with Il dollar to
spend should encourage these gentlemen
in their efforts to boom the great game,
here. The show was on the level and
worth the price.

cussion was brought about over the
