fwere given that Daly would not last f fhe limit T Daly However, surprised'I
 the sports. and he never at any time | ill the contest was ill danger of going out It was Cue that O'Brien put an eye on Daily that ne will not soon get rid of. but it was also true that Daily l hammered OBrien on the jaw with i lefts and on the body with right swings until that plucky New York l fighter felt that Daly was "dolng | something." In the earlier rounds CT | the battle Daly had away the beg or | it, and If the fight had been stopped | Ut the end of the tenth round Daly would have received the decision. | O'Brien was aggressive, but his az l gressiVenesS amounted to nttle, TOT l Daily was not there when the leads
 came, but he was back with counters
 and swings. All through the fight with | the possible exception of one round | O'Brien kept forcing the pace, while | Daily danced around the ring, ever and | anon swinging one of those hard rights
 to the ribs and wind and twisting the
 left around O'Brien's head. The last
 two rounds saw Daly on the aggres-
 sive, and 1t was hammer and tongs | between the two. Neither could land | the knockout blow and the decision Of
 q draw was well received.
 The first preliminary was between 1 William Loucks and Harry Galway.
 The first round was Galway's by long
 odds as he hammered lcfts into the
 face and jaw of Loucks until the lat
 ter was very lonely. The second round
 was a repetition of the first with the
 exception that Galway used both left
 and right and the body of Loucks was
 now taking a few of the punches. Ill
 the third Galway kept using both
 wi o loft fn tbp
 jaw and q right to the body Louclls
 went down on the canvas. This evi-
 dcntly ancered Loucks, for he went
 after Galway and placed q hard right
 on the body. It was the first fighting
 he had done. In the fourth Galway
 used the same tactics, while Loucks
 tried to block the blows. occasionally
 finding an opening for a light iab to the
 body. In the fifth Galway had more
 fun with LOuckS, and it was only
 question of time when the lcftS on the
 face and head and the rights on the
 wind would do for Mir Louclls. The
 sixth saw Loucks getting weary from 1 the clever punches of Galway, and i just before the bell he was sent to the
 mat with q short jolt to the jaw. In | the seventh Galway hammered I,ouckS 1 just about as he pleased and he sent
 him down twice. The first time he
 took the count and the last time the
 bell saved him from going into a quiet sleep. In the eighth his finish came When he was forced from his corner | by his seconds Galway went after him and placed a hard right on his jaw.
 That was enough and over. to his cor ncr ran Loucks and down he fell. Gal way was sent to his corner the win
 l her.
 The second preliminary was ten
 round go between Dan Murphy of this
 city and Walter Burgo of Boston. It was to be fought at catchweights. ; 1 Murphy had the best of it in weight t. | but that is all the advantage he did | | have. The first round was bur tesque, Burgo dancing around like a | hen on a hot griddlC and hitting Mur- phy just about as he pleased with left
 and right. Murphy was ill distress at the end of the round. In the second , round both hammered and fell all over . | each other. It was q sort of catch-as- e catch-can affair and both were down ! l on the floor together. In the third U l round Murphy took all kinds of punch U. cs delivered in as awkward manner = as only BurgO knows how to use. In 5 the fourth Burgo worked so hard with ss ss left and right that he soon had Murphy IL tired out Burgo himself became tired s before the round was over. but Dan /, could not get in any kind of punch u In the fifth Murphy was going fas s from the blows he was receiving, bu u bleeding and beaten though he was T | he still stood up and took his medi VI cine. The sixth was the same as the " fifth and the bell saved Dan from fur W thur punishment and perhaps from ~ knockout. In the seventh Burgo ham It mered the wind again and again unti lo the spectators prayed that it would % cease. In the eighth Murphy showed = the only good fighting he did in tht 70 bout He hammered Burgo with hi ' straight left jabs and occasionally sen a his right to the wind. Burgo wa s' weary at the close. In the ninth the, ', both went at it hammer and tongs, bu .u ~. Burgo had more stcim in his punche ,d and they were telling on Murph ~ when the bell came. In the tent E Dan took some awful punishment an 's he was sight before the round wa 70 half over. His face was battered, an '' his body was like raw beesteak fror - the thumps lie received. He still hcl ta pluckily on and refused to take tn ,o knockout that Burgo was trying t ,, give him. He was almost helples ", when he went to his corner The rel ar ere gave the decision to Burgo, whic '1a was also just one.
