COFFEE COOLER" WON.

New Castle onTyne, November 25.-
In twenty-round contest here this
evening for purse Of 300 pounds
(s1500) between Frank Craig, the
Harlem Coffee Cooler" and George
Crisp, of New CASTLE Craig won in the
thirteenth round.
In the betting Craig was the favor
ite at two to one. The men were fairly
even in the opening rounds of the bout
but before the sixth round was over the
Coffee Cooler" had Crisp in difficult
ties, the New Castle man being greatly
puzzled by the Ans rican's tactics.
Crisp recovered somewhat during the
ninth round and the fight was for a
time more even. In the thirteenth
round Craig got a left home heavily
on the jaw and sent Crisp to the board
where he was counted out. Craig
showed no signs of punishment.

| body. Tracy drew back and came in
hard On the stomach with his left,
which was the best blow landed so far.
In the third Tracy sent in couple of
| jabs on the face. which only served
to make Lavinge laugh and come back
| with a rush. No effective work was
done.
In the fourth Tracy's wonderful
quickness of feet work kept him be-
You'd the reach of most of Lavinge's
choppers and left swings, while La
vinge's face showed red marks from
Toms left. which his superior reach
enabled him to land.
Fifth-Tracy jabbed left hard on
stomach, but George countered with
right on head. Lavinge swung hard
left on the body which made Tracy
vince. Tracy seemed tired from his
continued avoidance of Lavinge's
rushes.
The sixth and seventh rounds were
repetitions of those preceding, La
vinge rushing and leading frequently
with left on body and head, nearly all
of which Tracy avoided or succeeded in
breaking their force.
Eighth and ninth rounds were slight
ly in favor of Lavinge, his persistent
chopping and swinging and leaving
skin on Tracy's body and on Georges
face and neck.
Tracy stood his ground better in the
tenth and paid the Kid back in kind.
Up to this stage the fight was an even
thing.
The eleventh round was Lavinge's.
He sent in a terrific left on the stom-
ach, which caused Tracy's ever-present
smile to die. Lavinge has the advan-
tage at this point of the fight
Twelfth and thirteenth rounds were
Lavinge's by shade, though no real
effective work was done. 1t looked at
this stage as if it would go to the limit
and Lavinge would get the decision on
account Of aggressive and more e.
fective work.
Fourteenth and fifteenth rounds
were Lavinges, although Tracy made
several determined stands, stalling off
Georges rusles, but always getting
little the worst of the mix. Tracy
tried several TINES to reach Lavinge's
jaw with right, but failed to connect.
Lavinge won On decision.

jority has vanished This leaves him
only seventeen more, and this would
probably have been wiped out had the
canvassing board made good Roadway
in their work Before Clay district
was taken up yesterday morning the
attorneys for Mr.. Dunlevy had quite a
large number of exceptions prepared,
as to the action of the court upon the
ballots which have been rejected
against Mr.. Dunlevy. These they de-
sired to have the court sign, showing
the cause why they would not count
the ballots.
The. court, however, promptly refus-
ed to sign them, whereupon writ of
mandamus was served on the commits
sioners. 1t was issued by Judge Her
vey, and directed them to show cause
why they had not counted quite large
number Of the ballots After this was
done the board adjourned until after
dinner, and in the meantime they de-
cided to go ahead with the canvassing.
This was resumed at one o'clock with
the following result for the day:

that such high-handed action may at
any time override the will of the ma
jority as expressed in elections. Even
decent Republicans are denouncing the
farce which is being conducted under
the name of recount. Republicans who
voted for Davis are outspoken, many
of them, in their opposition to the
County Court and their disapproval OF
it's a1lion.
There is still talk of holding an in

voted for Dunlevy taking the most
prominent part in this movement. The
general sentiment, however, appears to
favor the postponement of such meet

"Can the BOWERS bowl?"

tsN-i-t-Nit.'
This was cry which came from the
throats of crowd of leather-lunged
bowling enthusiasts, and awoke the
echoes along Caldwell's run late last
night. They were 'rooters" and play
ers, and they were all alike.
The games were the most important
of the season, as three victories would
have put the Bowlers in first place.
Can't. Charlie Henning marshaled his
forces. and in all the glory OF their
war paint and superlative confidence.
they engaged in the contest which was
to terminate in inglorious defeat.
Charlie Notes Indians scented victory
in the air, and their elastic step and
Joyous shouts as they marched to the
battlefield gave evidence of the faith
that was within them.
The contest proved that roofing
cuts no small figure in bowling con-
tests. From the rock-ribbed Republi-
can stronghold of Ritchietown; from
HOMEGROWN, the Gibraltar OF the I'M
terrified Democracy; and from the
banks of the classic stream which
winds its sinuous course from Fette's
to the river, were gathered the noisiest
and huskiest lads that glass of foam
ing lager and hasenpfeffer lunch
would bride to root" for the All
Alikes.
There were times during the battle
when the average Bowler thought life
was not worth the living. The roast
was unmerciful. 1t was one long howl.

figures to express! And ia for the S. O..
