Joe Choynsk defeated Steve O'Donueu in
Chicago last night in the fifth round of
what was to have been q six-round bout
There was nothing in it but Choynski
from the start, ODonnell making a COM
parauvely poor showing. In the first round
Choynski landed a straight right in the
mouth that dropped O'Donnen cleanly.
The bell rang when he haL been down
three seconds, but he went to lis corner
very groggy. At almost any time after
that ChOynski could have won cut, but he
went at it easily.
In the fifth he put ODonnell down twice
and Steve was clearly out Of 1t that
Choynski said to him, Stay down" stay
down." O'Donnell, who was unable TO rise
anyhow, took the advice and allowed him
self to be counted out without attempting
to rise. One punch would have finished
him if he had regained his feet.
ODonnell was badly beaten, both eyes
being nearly closed and his lips being split.

That the Marines May Play Ball.

A recent suggestion in The Evening Star
to the effect that base ball paraphernalia
be furnished the soldiers has been COM
mented on as excellent idea, as no one
more than Uncle Sans fighters off duty
have a greater capacity for enjoying the
national game. In this connection Lieut.
Col. F. H. Harrington, commanding the
marine barracks in this city, suggests that
any contributions of bats, balls, chest pro-
tectors, gloves or muZzles delivered or Of
fered at the barracks on Sth street south
