THREE FINE BOUTS DRAWN.
Boxing at st. Patrick's Y. M. T. A. B.
Club House Last Night

Boxing at st. Patrick's Y. M. T. A. B
Club House Last Night.
| Pleasing selections of vocal and in
strumental music, little dancing, and
much fine boxing characterized the last
smoker of the season at st. Patrick's Y.
M. r. A. B. club house last night. The
crowd was the largest of the season.
and a more orderly one never assembled
at ring side.
Carney and Costello had weighed in
at lis pounds at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. Dr. Kelly, the clubs referee
announced that his work last evening
would be his last. The first pair named
above, shook hands at $40. with orders
to break clean Costello the local idol
(vice Conroy deposed), held his own
well in the first round, despite disparity
in reach. The second and third showed
little difference, and in the latter Cos
tello was warned for hitting in a clinch.
Both warmed up in the fourth, but Car
ney seemed to weaken toward the bell,
From then to the tenth it was all Co.'S
telloa Carney rallied in the tenth, how
tello had been cautioned the oftener for
rough tactics, and this was doubtless
the reason he was not announced a
winner" He had all the condition when
the last round ended.
Frank Halett and Bob Walsh then
renewed the hostilities which last month
terminated in victory for Walsh. They
met at catch weights. Halett looked
the larger The men fought very de-
1iberately the first round, seeming to
desire to reconnoitre, Halett had the
better of the miX-ups in the second
scoring clean knock-down at the close
Halett showed the stronger in the sue
,ceeding rounds. He is very slow, but
very powerful, and can stand a vast
amount of punishment. Walsh ducked
and skipped out of a deal of trouble in
the next two and Halett deliberate as
ever, smashed hard punches into the
ambient air. Halett had the next. The
eighth showed the fiercest work yet
seen. Halett got a bad cut under the
right eye, but also put out his shifty
antagonist little later. Walsh dropped
to his knees in the ninth, but took only
four of the count He took five in the
tenth, after his third knock down, and
the referee called the bout a draw.
Dick Maroney of New Haven and
Eddie Goodbody of New York clashed
for fifteen rounds as a star attraction.
They had weighed in at 112 pounds at 3
o'clock. Eight hours later they shook
hands, both looking fine and fit. Good
body relied chiefly on a straight left
I, ny
hand of his chief trainer and second,
Marty McCue. He used it continually
in the next two rounds. He stumbled
to his knees in the third and Maroney
cautiously helped him rise, getting a
lump under the eye a moment later. In
the fourth his nose began bleeding as
result Of the left jabs aforesaid, and he
accused Goodbody of hitting low. Good
body admitted his error, and the fight
went on. The fifth was comparatively
with Maroney improving
trif1e. He rushed persistently in the
sixth, but to no purpose, as he usually
ran into rigid left, or met right
Goodbody seemed to slacken
a little in the next, but regained his old
speed in the eighth. Maroney's ag-

the house applaud him as he took his
seat. Maroney's stock took a boom in
the tenth, as he did more work and
better work than he had done before
of note happened until the
which the men fought so
briskly that the spectators applauded
from gong to gong. The
last two rounds justified the draw an
Walter Jennings, a popular local vet
cram, was at the ring side to challenge
the winner of this bout AS there was
40 winner, and the affair was listed as
A smoker" he RETAINED He will,
lowever, soon re-enter the ring and his
friends hope to see him box here.
