THE FIGHT WAS STOPPED.
Police Captain I'm Charge of Contest
Thought Knockout Blow Had
been Given.

A San Francisco dispatch Of yester-
day says that police interference ended
the Neill-O'Brien fight at Woodwarde
pavilion last night in the middle Of the
fifteenth round. The end came so sud
denly and the confusion was so great
that II ia difficult to say Just what hap
pened, but TO an impartial observer II
appears that the police captain In
charge OF the contest lost his head
when he thought Neil was about to be
knocked out though he claims O'Brien
gave NELL a palpable foul from his
point of view.
Up TO the very last minute Of the
fight IL looked as Il NELL would win
whenever he made up his mind TO go
In and mix matters. He forced the
pace after the third round and allowed
O'Brien 60 wear himself out with in
effectual leads, which he ducked,
blocked or took them without serious
harm 10 himself. In the mitigating
Neil showed 60 advantage, his blows
having much more force behind them.
OBrien impressed the 1000 spectators
as one Of the cleYerest boxers and
shifty ringsters ever seen here, but he
lacked hitting powers. At long range
Sparring he showed 10 great advantage,
landing both right and left with won
derful quickness, and In uppercutting
he was revelation With all his clev-
erness. however, It Is the opinion OF
a great majority Of the spectators that
he would have lost had the fight gone
a few more rounds, as he was weak
ening fast
In the fifteenth round OBren landed
a short arm left blow on Neill's solar
plexus, causing the latter 10 stagger
and drop his hands. O'Brien was upon
him I'm an instant, sending in both
right and left on Neilis face and body
alternately NELL staggered about the
ring, protecting his face as best he
could when the police captain jumped
Into the ring and waved the men 70
their corners.
The referee did not interfere and he
was disposed TO let the fight go on,
NELL braced up and mOtiOned the cap
tain out OF the ring. but the officer
persisted and sent the men to their
corners
Nell was seen In his dressing room
after the fight and said he had been
struck in the groin while in a clnch,
though he showed no signs Of such q
blow
O'Brlen said he landed fair blow on
the solar DleXus at close range. and is
dissatisfied with the ending, believing
he would have won but for police in
reference. "All l want Is another
chance TO prove It," said O'Brien.
