STOPPED II.
Police Took a Hand
in the Fight.
DECLARED A DRAW
DinsdaIe- Rosenberg Fight
Lasts Seven Rounds.


John F. Dinsdale, the South Worces-
ter lad, thumped Morris Rosenberg
right and left last evening, and sur
prised about 1900 interested spectators
The men fought seven rounds in Insti-
tute Hall. East Cambridge in a bout
which was scheduled for 10 rounds.
At the end of the sixth round, Ref
cree John F. Sheehan of the Police
News was called one side quietly by
Cambridge police officers, and told to
wind up the bout in another round. 1t
ended in seven rounds, and the referee
whispered to The Spy man that the
decision was a draw on account of po-
lice Interference. He added that he
was rather pleased than otherwise at
such an ending. He feared to give a
decision, and render himself liable I'M
der the law, and had the bout gone 10
rcunos he would have been obliged to
give Dinsdale the decision or get the
crowd after him.

but was very clever, especially on the
part of the Worcester boy, who es-
capped with q few punches, while he
raped Rosenberg soundly man--imes.

berg right and left, finally knocking

into the crowd. 1t saved Rosenberg
