OUT IN THE LAST ROUND.
YOUNG CRITIC WINS THE CON-
TEST WITH MCCARTHY.
A Twenty-Round Bout That Look
ed as If It Was Going to be
a Draw.

The twenty-round contest between
Young Critic and Bull McCarty at
the Old Pavilion last night was a stub
born one and ended in McCartys beng
knocked out in the last ten seconds OF
the last round, when it looked to every
one as if it would be draw
/ There was much of a sameness about
the rounds, McCarty leading and Critic
standing him off or countering with his
left on the face and neck. The latter Is
wonderfully well put up, with deep
chest and lungs and good muscles. lie
is a very clever boxer, too. cool and
collected, and in spite of the many
heavy blows he received from his adj
versary on the stomach, kidneys and
neck, was in such fine condition that
they had very little effect on him. Me-
Carly put up a game contest right
through, and took a lot of heavy pun
ishment without finching.
The men had agreed to strike in the
clinches when one arm was free, and it
proved to be a mistake for McCarty
as Critic had the best of it, upper-cur
ting him freely in almost every clinch.
The fighting was perfectly fair on both
sides McCarty played for the heart
heavy blows on the latter, but they did
not seem to distress Critic much, while
he in return would almost invariably
put in a stiff left-hand counter on the
throat or face, which, while inflicting
punishment did not seem to bother Nc
/ Carly seriously. The latter was weak
in the sixth and seventh rounds, ana
looked as if he might be put out at any
time, as Critic fought him onto the
ropes; but he freshened up and became
stronger as the bouts passed on. Both
men missed some vicious swings and
upper-cuts that might have settled it
| if they had landed, and both showed
themselves quick and shifty. Several
| times Critic had his adversary in
hole, but he managed to wriggle out Of
it with some punishment.
When they came up for the last
| round it looked like a draw but Nc
! Carly took the aggressive, in hopes of
putting his opponent out. It was a
mistake, for Critic was the stronger,
and punished him severely in the
clinches He followed up his advan
tage and there was heavy infghting
until, in one of his rushes, Critic caught
McCarty on the neck with left SWING,
and he went down. He tried to rise as
mine" was counted, and succeeded in
getting on his feet barely in time, but
| Critic caught him on the right ear and
the fight was over. McCarty had to be
carried to his corner, and Referee Will
lam Johnson gave the decision to Critic.
HARRY JONES' Def.
| Harry Jones, who formerly lived here,
| but has been away for the last two or
three years. is again in the city. He
was present at the Griffo- McCarty
| fight last night, and authorizes the
statement that he is ready and willing
to give battle to Critic. the winner. All
he asks is three weeks in which to pre-
pare for the 60 although he is even now
IN good condition. and that Critic shall
not weigh over $50 pounds.
Jones says the chance is oDen to
Harry Woods, also, if he wants it.
Woods was one of McCarty's seconds
last niGht The Deacon" looks as if
he had been taking excellent care of
himself.
