Cuban Bested.

DETROIT, Mich, December %
Referee Tim Hurst pleased 1900 spec
tators tonight when he gave Curley
Supplies of Buffalo, the decision over
Emil Sanchez, the Cuban Wonder" at
the end of their ten round bout before
the Cadillac Athletic Club. In the
tenth Supplies put his right to the
Cuban's jaw so hard that it staggered
him, and then rushed him all over the
ring, putting in lefts and rights on the
head and body. During the first four
rounds it was very even thing, but
Supplies had all the best of the later
rounds except the seventh, when San
chez cut his eye with hard right.
AS a preliminary, Jimmy Reeder, of
Altoona, Pa, and Frank Stackhouse,
of Detroit, met for ten rounds, the
decision going to the local man. Reed
er showed, however, that he can take a
deal of punishment, for Stackhouse
pounded his ribs until they were red
and had him all but out several times.

Broad Wins.

: NEW YORK, December 29.-Kid
Broad, of Cleveland, get a well-earned
decision over Jack Hamilton, of Troy,
through the latter's foul tactics at The
Broadway Athletic Club tonight.
Broad was always on the aggressive
and Hamilton made more tnan Sood
defense. Round after round, from the
first to the fifth, Hamilton gave and
took with equal fervor, but in the sixth
he was knocked fiat on his back and
the gong saved him from being put out.
From this to the end CT the bout Broad
spread it over his man. At all times
his lefts and rights were in evidence
and he kept the Trojan on the defen-
sive. Jack was thoroughly game, but
it was evident from the end of the sew
enteenth round that he could not With
stand the onslaughts of his adversary
and from that point to the conclusion
of the bout Hamilton never had
chance of retrieving himself. In the
twenty-frst round Hamilton, seeing
that the odds were against him, tried
foul tactics, but eyaded the referees
stigma. Tt came in the following round,
however, when he deliberately butted
twice, and the referee stopped the bout,
disqualifying Hamilton and declaring in
favor of Broad.
