Nsor,v 5000 persons saw Jack Everhardt OF
~ orleans and Kid Mcfarland OF this city,
IN we'll. known lightweights. fight twenty-five
,onpds to a draw at the Greater New York A.
q OF Coney Island last night.
For twelve rounds the battle was decidedly
AMI. both men appearing to be afraid to take
chances. After that they warmed to their
Eort and the last ten rounds were hot stuff.
II was a clean. scientific contest throughout,
A. which Mcfarland did plenty Of straight leads
snd landing. But Everhardt Offset this with
Snshing and hard swings. Neither man was
soverely marked, and the decision was appa-
Sently satisfactory.
Fully 5000 persons were present when An
rouncer Dunn trotted out the first pair. They
ware Mike Toots Of Brooklyn and Dave O'Con-
nor Of Jersey City. They FLASHED at 1lB pounds
for twelve rounds. Referee Dowdell received
ANYTHING but a warm reception when he en-
tsred the ring. There we're apparently many

oIsion against Downey last week by hiss

ala not show much hitting power In the first
round. He depended on a straight left for
execution. 0'Connor was very shifty. and
avoided many well-meant blows by ducking.
Toots shifted from using his left In the second
and met his rivals rushes with swings.
O'Connor was on to this and easily got out Of
the way. OConnor shot home his left twice in
the wind as the gong sounded. and Toots re-
tired to his corner in anything but good humor.
Toots sailed in in the third. He showed a fond
ness for mixing it up. but he was utterly at sea
at this style OF fighting. After receiving a few
good thumps in the mouth he settled back and
fought at long range. Toots did q little rush.
ing in the fourth. He was speedier than O'Con-
nor. but did not do any harm. In the fifth
O'Connor punched Toots about the body and
on the face. Toots nearly upset O'Connor with
a heavy swing. which landed Just q tri1e above
the mark. The sixth was very hot and set the
sports on edge. They fought at q lively
rate In the seventh and both went to
their corners bleeding. Toots punished O'Con-
nor about the body In the eighth and ninth
rounds. The latter did almost all the leading In
the tenth. He was provokinEly slow. however,
and missed many good opportunities to con-
meet. The remaining rounds were listless and
undressing. save for an occasional stray hard
knock. Toots made q brief squirt at tho close.
but he was too tired and weak to even make
O'Connor quake. Toots. however. got the YER
dict.
BY the time Everhardt and Mcfarland were
ready to appear there were between 1000 and
5000 persons in the building. There was not

stood up In the aisles. 1t was very warm and
