FOLLOWING is an answer to an inquiry
concerning the outcome of fights be-
tween kid Iavigne and Joe Waicott:
December :. 1895. LavigIe won from Wal
colt in fifteen rounds at Maspeth: October
%, 1897 Lavigne won again from Waieott
in twelve rounds al San Francisco. The
last mentioned fight was the one where
Walcott gave out. practically throwing up
the fight. 1t was claimed at the time by
some that there was crooked work. La
vigne never knocked Waicott out.
TT is always a good plan for a pugilist
L to remember that he is not the only
one in the ring. Unless l am greatly mis-

Francisco March 8. Ii was good advice but
came too late to save Considine from losing
a large sum of money. 1t is impossible TO

a few hundred or as many thousands.
There is little doubt, however. that he

kins was in first-class condition and could
not lose.

Hawkins could have finished Erne in the
first round If he had desired TO do so.
Assuming that this is true and looking
forward to the actual outcome a good
lesson may be learned. Briefly stated Il is
as follows: IL you have man at your
mercy do not show mercy. Whip him
then and there. DO not make a grand
stand play. the meaning of which Is. II
have a snap" BE confident but never over
confident. The latter produces careless
ness.
The New York Sun has the following to
say about the fight:
1.-The victory Of Frank Erne. the Buff
falo lightweight. over DIAL Hawkins in San
Francisco on Friday night. was a genuine
surprise. especially in view of the fact
that Hawkins was put to sleep in the
seventh round. Judging by the form dis
played by these pugilsts in the East not
long ago. it was the general belief that
Hawkins could not lose. The latter has
