once Both landed heavy wallops In the first
round. Burke having the better OF II on leads.
Butler forced II In the second but his blows
were wild. while Burke's counters were de-
livered with accuracy, In the third Burke got
home enough warm facers to put his opponent
on the defensive. The four and fifthwere about
even. the men using extreme caution. Burke
whnck ed the head and neck with several swings
in tho sixth and made Butler retreat. Buffers
nose was split on the bridge with rig handler
in the seventh. In the eighth Burke received
half a dozen left handlers in the face which
made him mix 1t viciously. Buffers left
ear was cut in tho ninth. Burke hit low on
several occasions and the big crowd howled.
Burke did the work in tho next two rounds.
Buffers strength made the formers attack
somewhat ineffective.
1t was anybody's fight when the twelfth
ended. but In the thirteenth Butler had
shade. a punch In the stomach nearly doubling
his rival UP in jack-knife style. Butler con-
tinusd to hold his advantage in the two follow
ing rounds in spite Of the fact that his right
cheek bono under the eye was badly bruised.
Butler had the sixteenth and seventeenth
rounds on leads. and blows landed. Some Of
his drives to the stomach made Burke show
signs OF pain. In tho eighteenth and nine
teenth. Butler had slight advantage.
but in the last round Burke got
heavy right over on the jaw and scored
hard knock down. Butler was SO grogRy and
ratified that he grabbed the referee by the arm
as the latter counted of the seconds. At six
Butler got upon his feet and managed to stand
Joe OF TO the bell. although the latter worked
like a demon for a knock out. The decision
was draw.
Five thousand spectators. including all the
well known sports. were on hand when Kenny
and Bonner appeared. These big fellows were
matched for twenty-five rounds at catch
weights. Kenny was handled by Martin
Julian. Tommy Moran and Matty Matthews.
Bonner's seconds were Johnnie German.
Red Badgerly. Tony Boyle and Ed Fitzgerald.

who s to tight him at Coney Island in the neal
future. As they shook hands. 1t was noticed
that Bonner had swollen face due to an ul-
cerated tooth. Kenny weighed 1915 and Bon
ner about 175.
Bonner opened with hard right flush on
the Jaw and Yank clinched. Then he got his
left to the nose in mix-up. Kenny was In no
hurry to take chance. but Jack came
again. aud with another left on the nose
he drew first blood. Bonner began tho
second with left on the mouth Then
Kenny broke out furry OF punches, Bonner
falling heavy in his efforts to get away. Bon
ner put another lab on the mouth for second
blood and with similar blow he cut tho bridge
OF Kenny's nose. Bonner's fast Rait seemed to
puzzle his big opponent. who was con-
tinuaily trying to block and side step.
Bonner was the aggressor again in the
third. missing terrific right by hair. Kenny
did some looking glass posing until another
smash on tho mouth brought the gore in a
stream. Then Yank began to fight, Bonner
made bold stand. AZ the fourth
opened. Kenny forced matters with
couple OF dashes but Bonner
welted him in the face with frightful smashes
for another supply OF gore. Bonner finally
slipped to knee and while arising was DELHI
erately pushed down by his antagonist. He
oountenance and made Kennys head rock with
belt on the jaw. Kenny was more than sur
prised at this turn OF affairs and went to his
chair worried
Kenny went in to slug in the fifth but he was
too slow. Bonner's leg work making 1t diff
cult to land good wallop. Jack on the other
hand. continued to land his punches sQuarely
in the face until Yank was praying
for the linament. Kenny landed on
the sore tooth In the sixth for
which Bonner nearly put him down with
more dangerous swings on the head. Kenny
wound up the round with binder on Bon
ners left eye. kennys nose and mouth were
bleeding when he came up for the seventh and
Bonner quickly shot in two left handlers
with plenty OF steam behind them. Yank
took the defensive and Bonner proceeded to
beat up his face until 1t was crimson.
Jack sent over two right handlers and the big
man reeed only to finish the round with q
desperate but frutless rally
Bonner danced around putting in long blows
to the body during the first half OF the
eighth. Kenny trying to reach him in vain
Bonner then stood up for lead. but his oppon-
ent would not make one. Kenny was sent out
to make the pace in the ninth and he almost
lifted Bonner off the boards with a right
hand body punch He followed with
heavy swings. and Bonner getting sew
eral Of them. decided to keep away.
1t was now apparent that Kenny had been
playing waiting game. for in the tenth he got
to close quarters with stifr jolts. Then he fled
and the crowd was displeased.
Kenny tried hard at beginning OF the elev-
enth but Bonner landed his blows better. and
the Westerner was on the defensive at the bell.
Kenny kept forcing 1t in the twelfth but
Bonner. with great right on tho Jaw. came
near putting his man on the floor. Kenny
received more solid whacks than he delivered
In the thirteenth round. but at that the fight
was not sensational enough for the crowd.
1t was better in the fourteenth. both slug
ging at close range. with Bonner doing the
cleaner work. Kenny used his reserve attack
Ing power In the fifteenth and had Bonner in
some trouble. ut he did not know how to fol-
low. and posed instead.
In the sixteenth Bonner cut loose with right
and left hand swings, all aimed at the law
