BOXING SHOW AT PYLES.
Last Nights Was a Failure. But Was
no Fault OF the Esmeraltla Club.
The Hoffecker-McConneU
Rout Ended in n Row

Last night the Esmeralda Bay Club
gave another boxing carnival at Pyle's
Cycling Academy. This show, like the
last, was financial failure, as also was
what was supposed to be the star bout OF
the evening, the one between Pat Me-
Cornell and Frank Hoffecker,
The contest was down Tor six rounds
but only really went one round and
half.
The way the trouble started was like
this: The referee, Mr. Strech, told the
boys not to hit on the breakaway, but
no sooner had they started fighting when
both were hitting in cincbes, on the
breakaway, and in fact any old way.
About the last part of the first round
Mcconnell walked over to his corner and
said. ''He is hitting on the break
away" The referee said something and
the fight went on.
In the second round after lot of hard
and vicious infghting, Mcconnell agaiH
stopped fighting and went to his corner
and sat down, saying He is still hitting
on the breakaway and Pm going to
quit" After lot of urging he again
wanted to resume fighting, but Hoffecker
had by this time gone to his corner and
was taking off his gloves. His seconds
wanted him to continue but Hoffecker
said, mo! He has quit twice now and
I'm going to stop"
OF course Mcconnell should not have
made beef about hitting in clinches or
any other place as he hit Hoffecker when
he was on the ropes and also in cinchcs
and breakaways, and if Hoffecker didn't
kick then he should not have done SO.
But so far as the quitting goes, IL
looked as if one was just as anxious to
do so as the other. 1t certainly was a
shame the contest ended as it did for il
was warm one as far as it went, and
one had as much of it as the other.
The preliminaries were very good, the
first being between George Russell and
the Delaware Cyclone. This contest was
a hard fought one as well as funny for
the faces and moves the Cyclone can
make are comical to behold. Russell had
all the best of the bout smashing his
opponent when and where he PLEASED
and he pleased to do it mostly with his
left. If Russell could only hit harder
the contest would not have gone six
rounds. The Cyclones seconds had
hard work getting their man to fight the
last two rounds, as he begged to quif
after the fourth.
The second contest brought togethsE
Frank Fisher of this city, and JohH
Blackston of Chester. Both lads were
lark colored and fought like demons,
Fisher started out like q blizzard, bN
after the third round he seemed windcd
md ii Blackston had wanted to he
could have given him good pounding.
This contest was draw.
