SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. s-Frank Nc
Connell. OF San Francisco. a practically
unknown man In the boxing world. and
who recently graduated from the amateur
ranks. outpointed and outfought young
Critic. the celebrated Australian boxer.
before the Olympic club tonight. The con-
test vas ifteen-round affair. and the big
g. mn asium was packed with 5000 specta-
tors. Critic started the first round With
rush and endeavored 10 rattle Mcconnell
by some queer antics. but the local man
soon recovered himself and took a hand AZ
forcing matters. Critic acted entirely on
the defensive throughout the remainder OF
the first. and in the second and third
rounds was kept very busy blocking and
ducking McConnelrs leads. Mcconnell
fought almost entirely for the body, re-
peatedly placing his right on Critics ribs
and over the kidneys. He varied this.
however. with some weii-directed rights
for the jaw, which usually landed
Griffo's ear. Critic swung wildly with his
left in the fourth and nth rounds, but
usually fell short OF McConnells face and
was countsred each time with a right on
the body. He puzzled the local man con-
siderably with his feints. and sent in a
couple of s;iff left faeers before Mcconnell
learned to block them.
In the sixth and seventh rounds Critic
was satisfied TO lie, Mcconnell do the lead
ing. and acted on the defensive. McCon-
nell put couple Of hard rights on the body
and a vicious upper-cut on the face in the
eighth. Critic came up for the ninth with
a rush and sent in a couple of singing
lefts on the face and a right Oh the body.
but his blows had no effect on Mcconnell.
He braced himself and met the Austria
lian's rushes with we'll directed body
blows.
The tenth was fast from start to finish.
Critic rushed Mcconnell for short while
and then gave ground before the local man,
who did most OF the leading. Critic gave a
beautiful exhibition of defensive work In
this round. The eleventh was decidedly in
McConnelrs favor. He landed a hard right
cross-counter on Griffo's eye, which put
that member in mourning, and rushed the
Australian around the ring. but failed TO
land effectualy. The twelfth and thir-
teenth were about even. with Mcconnell
doing the most of the leading. Critic start
ed in to rush matters in the fifteenth, but
a couple OF counters gave him whole
some respect for McConnells good right
hand and the round finished decidedly in
favor OF the latter.
Mcconnell is q wonderful specimen of
muscular development, weighing about 143
pounds He is OF the rangy build, with
hard punch with either hand and splen-
did guard.
At the Olympic Club tonight the first OF
a series of professional boxing contests
was given. The first fight was a ten-round
featherweight contest between LAWYER. OF
San Francisco and Cocker" Tweedie, OF
Australia. Tweedie was the favorite at 10
to Q, and had quite the better OF the con
test In the first round. He was over
confident however, and In an unguarded
moment in the second round a weli-dreeted
blow on the jaw knocked him out. and
LAWYER was an unexpected victor.
