:
Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 9.-Over 500 people
crowded around the twenty-four-foot
ring in the Union pavilion in this city
tonight to witness the Lund-Dutchey
fifteen-round mill, which was a fast
bout while it lasted and was decidedly
interesting. Lund was easily the VIC
tor, knocking Dutchey out in the fourth
round.
Mount Pleasant furnished a majority
of the crowd, but Fountain Green,
Lund's home, was not far behind her.
while all the surrounding settlements
We're well represented with a good
sprinkling showing up from Manti and
the south. Probably forty of Salt Lake
Citys sports, mostly commercial travel
ers, were conspicuous in the crowd.
The preliminaries We're fair. The first
was a six-round go between Jack Con-
ley of Montana, who is a protege of
Dutcheys, and Sven Olsen, a young
man of this city. The latter lacked the
practice and skill of his adversary,
who easily laid him out with punch
in the face in the second round, after
Furnishing him rather heavily. The
second was between Will Cowan and
Arthur Nelson, lightweights of this
city, and was won by the latter, Cowars
failing to respond after the first round.
A blow over the heart faded him. James
Erickson and George Sorenson, both
lightweights of this city, mixed things
up lively for four rounds. as the third
event, the result being a draw.
Cheered Both Men.
The crowd was on pins when the big
event was announced, and both men
were cheered heartily when they enter
ed the ring. The great difference in
size in Lund's favor impressed itself
on the crowd. and it
looked a little scaly for Dutchey. w.
E. White of this city was chosen ref
cree and the fight was according TO
Queensbury rules
II took but a few moments to demon
strate that Lund had plenty of steam
and cleverness coupled with his size and
reach, and that he would be in it at the
finish. Dutchey's skill and generalship
were of but little value, as Lund's
guard was excellent and his long arms
were back in Dutchey's face every time
with a good, stiff punch. The fight by
rounds was as follows:
First round-The men spared cauA
tiously during almost the entire round,
sizing one another up. Only
three blows of any consequence were
landed. Lund getting two light ones on
the wind and Dutchey receiving a good
thump from Lund's long right in the
jaw.
Second round-This was somewhat
faster. There was little sparring, and
Dutchey rushed and landed a couple
of heavy blows on Lund's jaw, bring
ing first blood. He tried another swing,
at Lund'S wind, which was guarded,
Lund being pushed onto the ropes;
Lund countered light stomach blow
with a singer in the jaw. Dutchey
had the best of this round.
Third round-Both landed blows on
the wind and followed with an inter-
change on jaw. Lund was gaining con-
fidence. and made two lunges and a
heavy right swing at Dutchey's head,
were neatly lodged. a clinch resulting
from one. Two light blows on Lunds
wind ended the round.
Dutchey Put Out.
Fourth round-There was no play in
this. From the word they were both
slugging terrifically. A swing given
Lund on the elbow and Dutchey's wrist
was dislocated. an old break giving
away. After going down once he arose
and, though groggy, kept pluckily at it,
using his left for guard and working it
like trip hammer at the same time
heavily at the body and face. Lund
was there, however, putting up good
guard and using his reach to the great
est advantage He caught Dutchey one
under the right arm and with his left !
took him a second over the heart with
mis- right, and as Dutchey was Keeling |
caught him under the left arm and |
one on the head. Dutchey went help !
essly down and was counted out. |
Dutchey was seen after the fight and !

;quarely, the advantage being in the /
reach. Lund is uninjured save bruise |
