as soon as the gong sounded for the
| beginning of the battle, waded in,
| head down, to make Il short Job of
his undertaking. His ugly and vic
| ious swings invariably went wide of
their mark and only drew n smile and
look of contemptuous Indifference

| aimed. Ryan was as cool and collect
ed as a dill pickle on the I'd of Janu-
airy. He did not become excited. ut
least to such an extent that it could
be noticed by the spectators, at any
time during the 20 rounds. In the
eighth he had his opponents both
optics almost entirely closed, his
cheek cut and bleeding, and the rich
red also flowing from his nose, and I'M
doubtedly could have terminated the
contest then and there if he chose to do
so. That he did not was 4 disappoint-
ment to the crowd, as it was evident
that Stiff was ready to collapse and
would not be able to stand up much
longer, and it would not require very
strong blow to lay him on the floor.
1t may have been that the flickering
lights above saved Stiff at this stage.
Ryan had the goods, but, apparently
he refrained from delivering them, al
lowing the Chicagoan to stick through
the piece in order to crafty an urgent
wish of his admirers from the windy
city, who were at the ringside, and
who, it is understood, had wagered
heavily that Stiff would stay the limit.

City Athletic club at Davenport last
night Stiff, with Ryan, permission,

The fight was held at Saengerfest

his pugilistic offerings. Ryan and
Stiff initiated the new arena. Three

Mrs. Annie Motl-Baumann is under

taken into custody last night, and
locked up on information furnished by
John Motl, of Watertown, Wis, who

The court, besides denying Mrs. Motifs
prayer, awarded the custody of the

his wife later abducted the child and
disappeared, and was married at Wa

had concluded This highly interesting
exhibition of Charley Mitchell foot
racing he visited with RYAN awhile in
the center of the stage, and was pre-
scented with a bunch of hot ones. Stiff
was floored, and although both his
lamps were swollen almost shut, the
blood coursed down his left cheek, and
his legs wiggled nervouslv, he was able
to rise when the ninth second was
counted. AS Stiff Strengthened out,
the electric light died away for a mo-
ment. Ryan if he wished to take
advantage of the opportunity, could
have struck the blow that would have
ended the battle. But he seemed de-
sirous OF sparing his opponent, who
he had already demonstrated to the
full satisfaction of the audience was
no match for him in any point of the
game.
In the sixth the Chicagoan began to
show the effects of punishment in the
listless manner in which he moved
about. His antagonist appeared as
fresh as n daisy and smiled with pity
and scoTn when Stiff would lunge/at
him. His blows now were of little or
no account. There was little fighting
in this round.
Stiff grew still weaker in the
seventh after he had taken a mum Der
