OFT IN THE THIRD.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 20
Joe Choynski, of California, knocked
out Jim Hall, of Australia, in the third
round tonight, before the Nonpareil
Athletic club, at Music Hall, in the pre-
sence of some $500 people. 1t was an
nounced that the fight was for the light
heavyweight championship, limited to
twenty rounds. and for division of
the box receipts. Hall weighed 1853
and Choynski 100 pounds. In Halls
corner were Frank Kelly, of Cincinnati;
Patsy Grubbs, Louisville; Dock Hot
tum, Memphis, and Australian Jimmy
Ryan.
Tom Williams, of England; Lawrence
Fitzpatrick and Jim Watts were be-
hind Choynski.
The sght was lively enough while it
lasted, with the honors possibly in
Halls favor during the first two
rounds, but in the third, Choynski US
ed his right and left effectively num-
Der of times, and when but a half min
ute of the third round remained. Choy-
nski landed several rights and lefts in
succession, sending Hall to the floor,
where he remained until carried to his
corner, after the referee had counted
the ten seconds. Instantly there were
cries of fake" from all quarters of the
hall, and a more disappointed crowd
never left a ringside in this city.
1t was a right hook on the jaw that
sent Hall down, and from the specta-
tors standpoint was not delivered with
sufficient force to have put the Aus
tralian out Choynski so Hall claims,
landed a left below the belt, and near
the groin, which Hall explained after
the fight, took all the steam out of
him.

STRUCK BY A TRAIN
Artemus Files Is Seriously Injured
on NOrth MOsley.

Artemus Files, who lives with his
mother and brother at 40 East Oak
street. was struck by a Frisco train in
the vicinity of Third street and Mosley
avenue last night and very seriously in
jured. He was taken to st. Francis hos
pital. where it was found that he had sus-
tanned a fracture of the left arm and
shoulder, which necessltAted amputauon
of the arm, besides possible internal in
jures that may prove more serious than
expected last night. Mr.. Files was visit
in at the home OF his uncle at 332 North
Mosley avenue, and when the Frisco train
pulled up on the Midland track on its
way to the Y, Mr.. Files attempted to
board the train while II was running. He
was warned not to do so by his uncle,
but he had OTTER boarded the same train
before and had no fear Of danger. II is
very dark at the place where the accident
occurred, and it is supposed that Mr.. Files
missed his hold and was knocked down
by the train. He was dragged for several
feet in the gravel OF the track and his
shoulder was horribly lacerated and bruis-
ed. How he ever escaped being dragged
under the wheels his relatives fail to
comprehend. as he was picked up very
close to the rails. He was carried back
TO the house Of his uncle and a physician
was summoned, but did not arrive for
quite a while. during which time the vic
tim OF the accident suffered intense pain.
The trainmen did not know of the acct
dent and consequently did not stop the
