WON ON A FOUL.
Patsy .Reardon Given Decision Over Maurice
Rosenberg at Lewiston.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 17.-(SpeciaD.-
City hall was paced, tonight, to wit
ness the sparring match between Pat
sy Reardon of Lewiston and Maurice
Rosenberg of New York. The mer
weighed in at 127 pounds. Reardor
was awarded the decision in the sixth
round on a foul.
The fight was to be for eight rounds
or a decision. Rosenberg was second
ed by Lambert Pearl and Holmes of
New York, and Reardon was looked at
ter by Donovan and Welsh Of this city
and Mike Daley of Bangor VIM. Nc
Guinness of Portland was the referee.
The fight opened up in good style,
both men being active and showing
much science. The second round was
the hottest ever seen here, if not the
warmest ever seen in Maine or New
England. 1t was give and take, with
honors easy. Readon knocked Rosen-
burg down twice in this round, and
had the best of this round, but Rosen-
burg came out of it the fresher and
willingly took his place for more fun.
The third was a case of sparring for
wind and was tame. The fourth again
saw resumption of hostilities and
Rosenberg demonstrated that he was
the better man, outclassing Readon
though the latter made a plucky fight
The fifth was the period in which
Rosenberg started out to finish his job
on Reardon commenced in the fourth
and had things gone as he planned he
referee decided otherwise.
Near the end of the round Rosenberg
knocked Reardon down. The 10 sec
onds We're nearly counted off, when he
staggered to his feet, only to be again
sent to the boards by Rosenberg
right.
Then the trouble commenced. Some
one had yelled Time" and the referee
claimed that Rosenberg had struck the
last blow after time had expired and
gave the fight to Reardon. Rosenburs
and his friends say they did not hear
time called. by the timekeeper, and
claim it was an outsider. But the re-
feree's decision went, just the same.
Rosenberg clearly outclassed Rear.
don. and his friends claim that Referee
McGuinness is against him. The decis-
ion was received with Kisses and gave
general dissatisfaction, but if a decis-
ion was necessary for the crowds hap
piness, the crowd was lucky to get this
for the police had ordered the fight
stopped, as things were becoming a tri-
file too boisterous for good old Puritan
ical Lewiston.
1t is said that several thousand dol
lars changed hands on the result, the
betting having extended all over the
State. Some of the boys are hard hi
and are not joyful. Rosenberg is very
bitter, saying that he was simply rob-
bed of the purse. Reardon, while not
elated over the way he won the fight
is not tearing his clothes because he
was given the decision.
