FOUGHT A DRAW
Kid Mcfarland and Jack Everhardt
Fight Twenty-Five Rounds

III w CuI GAVC AsouAuS
NEW YORK, July 25-Kid Mcfarland
of New York and Jack Everhardt of New
Orleans fought twenty-five rounds tonight
at the New York Athletic club, Coney
Island, and at the end ofSthe twenty-iifth
round both men were able to go several
rounds more. Referee Sam Austin satisfied
every one by declaring the bout draw.
In the opening round Everhardt landed
right swing on the back of the Kids neck
and at the close Mcfarland had forced Ev-
erhardt to his corner. The succeeding
rounds were simply exhibitions of scientific
sparring.
The following rounds up to the nineteenth
were fast and the lighting pretty even, with
the advantage, If any, in favor of MOZART
land.
In the nineteenth round Everhardt swung
his right hard on McPartlands head, daz-
ing the Kid. Everhardt rushed and the
round ended in clinch near the ropes. Nc
Partland came up strong in the twentieth,
however, and cut out faster pace, which
he continued In the following rounds. Ever
hardt was tired when he went to his corner.
In the twenty-third round Everhardt took
turn at rushing and took desperate
chances to land a swinging blow. He was
cleverly blocked and failed to get past Nc
Partlands guard. Mcfarland opened the
twenty-tifth with q left chopping blow on
the face. Mcfarland again sent his left
to the face and Jack landed a hard left on
the ear. Jack rushed wildly and MOZART
land uppercut him with the left on the
breast. Mac kept jabb!ng left and right
swings which did not land. Jack upper cut
the Kid with his right on the chest and
slipped to his knee. When Jack got to his
feet time was up and the fight was ended.
The referee declared the fight draw.
