SPORTS
ELDER BEAN FIGHTS.
Walloped Bob Douglas a-PIenty In
Denver
Denver Times.)

Rev Willard Bean, the Mormon dis
ciple who occasionally spreads the gcs-
pei of his faith through the medium of
the upper-cut and swing, almost fur
nished the cue for a hospital call fer
Bob Douglas at Joe Gavin's Leadviiie
club last night. In the fifth round of
the bout, which was to have gone
twenty rounds. the parson dealt Bob
Sharkeyesque wallop with the left
over the heart and Douglas gave up
the ghost. The knockout was an al
most duplicate OF the one with which
Mysterious Billy Smith laid Douglas
on the shelf in this city several months
ago. The mystery ducked one of Bob's
jabs and sent left TO jowl and right TO
heart.
Douglas almost turned a complete
somersault. ana he saw consultations
for an hour. Last night the parson side
stepped lead and worked right and
left to jaw and heart Bob again did
his contortionist act by means of a
somersault, and did not recover for an
hour. This act would be a good turn
for the vaudeville stage, but will hard
1y blaze way TO fame and glory for
Bob on the roped platform. The first
two rounds of the bout were scored in
Douglas favor, but Bean made the
third an even thing and the fourth was
plainly his. Paddy PurtelI mas chal-
lenged the parson for a fight TO take
place in four weeks.
