CREEDON WHIPPED
IN FIRST ROUND
Was No Match for WoIcott, the
Negro PugiIist.
The Australian Was So Helpless When
1t Landed That He Was Out
Before He Knew Whas
Had Happened

New York, April 25.-Nearly 6,000 sports
assembled at the Lenox Athletic club to-
night in the hope of seeing rafting bout
between Joe Wocott, the negro boxer, and
Dan Creedon, the Australian. They were
matched to go twenty rounds at eaten
weights, but although Creedon weighed
fully twenty pounds more than his oppo-
nent, the negro made short work of him.
With a left and two right smashes on the
jaw Wolcott floored Creedon thrice. The
third time the Australian went down he
was dead to the world" and Wolcott was
declared the winner amid the cheers of his
hackers who had money on the result. The
bout lasted one minute and fifteen seconds.
Creedon entered the ring at 9:15 looking
in good shape He owned up to Weighing
100 pounds. Wolcott arrived at the ring
side few minutes later. He weighed 142
pounds.
Creedon opened the favorte with 100 to
50, but these odds soon dwindled to even
money, which price prevailed before the
men began to box
In the opening round they exchanged
few body blows and Wolcott tried a right
swing for the head, but missed. Joe thea
swung his left on the wind and Creedon
sent hard left to the kidneys. After
some swift exchanges Wolcott swung his
left to Creedons jaw, and Creedon went
down. The Australian stayed down the
limit and got up dazed. He tried to spar,
but Wolcott went at him, and sent him
down with a short right hook on the jaw.
Dan looked all but out when he got up ;if-
ter the referee had counted eight seconds.
Dams back was turned to the negro when
he regained his feet but Wolcott ran
around and faced him. Dan was dumb
founded, and scarcely knew where he was.
Wolcott lost no time in finishing his man
with a hard right smash on the point of
the jaw, and Creedon fell fiat on his back
to the floor. The final blow was an awful
one, and Creedon was so helpless when it
landed that he was out before he realized
what had happened. Creedon was helped
to his corner by his seconds He came to

Found in Room at Anniston-Supposed
He Died of Cholera Morbus

Admission, April 25.-(Special.)-T dead
body of James II. Lemons, a carriage trim
mer in the carriage and buggy shops of
Brummel & Pruson, was found in his room
over the shops yesterday morning. He had
probably been dead since Saturday night,
as he had not been seen since that time,
and the body had begun to decay.
His death is believed to have been caused
by cholera morbus, as he was lying face
downward on the floor with his hands on
his stomach, and there were no marks of
violence on his person. Under the circum-
stances the coroner did not think it neces-
Sary to hold an inquest.
The deceased was from Americas, Ca,
where he had wife and two grown sons,
and the remains were shipped to that place
last night.
