Maher knock out Joe Kennedy, the
California heavyweight, in the Sec
ond round in the Lenox Athletic
club arena Tuesday night at New

was to on Maher, but his victory
was even easier than his friends had
expected, The knock out blow which
Maher delivered was practically a
double left swing and hook on the
jaw, following right hand swing on
the opposite side of the jaw. Kenne-
dy fell as if hit with an ak and al
though he was unable to regain his
feet within the allotted ten seconds,
he recuperated very quickly and
walked out of his corner to his dress
ing room within two minutes after
he was foored.
First round-Kennedy was the
quicker and led left to the breast.
Then Maher led left on body and was
countered on the neck. Kennedy
cut out the pace and they came to
close quarters with both landing.
Peter got first blood with hard left
on the nose. kennedy -clinched and
was cautioned for so doing, but i'm
mediately staggered Maher with a
left on the jaw and repeated the
blow. When Kennedy came to him
again Maher let go his left just be-
fore the bell.
Secand round-Both were more
cautious and took things easier.
Maher landed a left on the face and
there was no come back. Sparring
and fiddling followed, with Kennedy
trying left, which Maher blocked,
and then Maher put left on body and
right on face. This last bio W stag
gered Kennedy, and Maher, seeing
his chance, followed quickly, putting
left to the face and then swung right
and left to jaw with all the force he
had back of his big shoulders, and
Kennedy went down and out. Time
of round 2:39.

THOUGH 4 FORMER CONVICT.
How a Chicago Chief of Police Won One
Mans Firm Allegiance.

Major r. w. McClaughry who recently resigned
the wardenshp of the Joliet penitentiary to accept
a like position at Leavenworth, Kan, had ono
champion the Chicago police force who. up to
his death, a few years ago, would fight for him
at any time. This police officer was an ex con-
vic and served his sentence OF year for larceny
at Joliet during McClaughry's first admnistra-
ton as warden. Upon his release from prison the
young man returned to Chicago, where he had
many friends who were willing to give him help
ing hand. The offence for which he was sent 10
prison was done moro in the spirit OF boyish
prank than with any criminal intent but he was
in the company OF an ox-convict at tho time, and
but for that fact he might have escaped with .
short Jail sentence.
Soon after his return to Chicago he got position
in a Wholesale house. and he applied himself to
the work with moro than ordinary energy. He
attended church regularly, something he did not
do before going to prison, and his every act proved
him worthy OF the confidence placed In him by his
friends.
Time went on. and he made application for .
position on the police force. According to the
rules OF the department no man who has ever been
convicted Of a felony can become q policeman.
and in order to properly fill out tho application
blank he had to periure himself. Tho signers Of
his application were men Of prominence in ward
politics. and ne had no difficulty in securing his
appointment He was stationed at a downtown
crossing when Major McClaughry was appointed
Chief of Police under Mayor Washburne in 1891.
One day the policeman was recognized by an
ex-convict They had worked together in tho
Same shop in prison, and the policeman had once
whipped the other fellow for abusing a crippled
