A VICIOUS PUNCH IN THE EYE

Settled the Hopes Of the Kenosha Pugulist
and Sent Him to the Floor writing in
Pain-Fight was Good one Until the
Knockout Came-Large Crowd of Sports
From this City Witness the Fight and
Cheer the co1ored PuRilist.
With vicious punch in the eye at
the close Of the third round of prize
fight at Waukegan last night Dave
Berry, of Chicago, put an end to the
pugi1istic aspirations of Henry Howard
of this city.
The fight had been on tapis for some
time and had attracted a great deal of
interest in the provincial sporting
world of Waukegan and Kenosha. AS
it was advertised the go was to be
ten round sparring match for decision
but the clever hard-hitting Chicago
man put an end to the contest before it
was really started. Howard, or Lamb
kin, as he is better known, is a great
favorite with the sports of this city
add they went to Waukegan in forces
to back him against his opponent,
Berry.
The fight was held at the opera
house, which was crowded to the doors.
AS a preliminary to the big fight
wrestling match had been arranged,
in which wrestler known as ''Guerny
jack, was to throw two men in half
an hour. This part of the program
was soon over and the big fight of the
evening was called and Lambkin and
Berry faced each other in the ring.
The Kenoshan, from the appearance
of the contestants. had the best of the
battle, but when the two had oiled up
little the Chicago man showed that
he knew what hard fighting was.
Promptly at nine O'Clock the two
men were called to the center of the
ring by the referee and the fight for
the championship of lKenosha and
Waukegan was on. In the frs round
honors were even. The Kenosha man
made a good showing and both men
seemed to show a lack. of science. 1t
was a sort of rough and tumble in
which both of the men were hard hit.
Lambkin played for his opponents
wind and landed often in the vu1nera-
bic parts. Berry followed the tactics
of Jefries and sent his right and left
repeatedly to Lambkin's breast just
under the heart. The fighting was
fast and furious and seemed to be the
thing the crowd wanted. The round
closed with both men eager for the
of tn
things went little slower. LamDkin
made some terrible swings at his OPP
ponent but the latter ducked and the
blows fell short. At the end of the
round Berry swung with his right and
caught Lambkin terrible blow over
the heart driving him to his knees.
The call of time saved Knockout for
the Chicago man.
Lambkin was in condition again
when the men were called to the center
for the third round and some furious
fighting resulted. Just before the
time for the close of the round, how
ever, Berry lead with his right and
landed a terrible blow from the
shoulder in the eye of the Kenosha
pugi1ist and he went down and out.
The referee gave him the full time
limit but his, seconds conceded the
fight to the Chicago man. The fight
resulted in the Kenosha contingent
tossing a great deal of money. The
appearance of the two men in the ring
made the co1ored man the favorite and
the Kenosha sports backed him heavily
at even money. a.sa
