DECISION GOES
To KID BROAD
Fight With Dave Sulli-
van Proves a Fast and
Furious One.
Gong Twice Saves the New
York Lad From Being
Counted Out.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 30.-Kid Broad of
Cleveland was tonight given the decision
over Dave Sullivan of New York, after
twenty-five of the fastest rounds ever
seen here. The contest took place before
the. Southern Athletic Club and 5000 per-
sons saw it. The men fought at 126 pounds
and both were in fine condition.
In the earlier rounds Sullivan was the
aggressor, but did no damage. The Kid
got down to business in the fifth round
and forced matters. The fifth was Broad's
all the way. He made Sullivan dance all
over the mat and got in some vicious
swings to the wind, kidneys and face.
Sullivan was apparently badly ratified. In
the sixth round Broad landed a dozen
times to head and received several light
ones in return. In the seventh Sullivan
dropped a straight right on Broad's eye
and that organ was soon all but closed.
The eighth was the hottest round ever
seen here. They rushed at each other
with right and left swings, uppercuts,
straight rights and lefts and each made a
veritable chopping block of the other be-
fore the referee could make them break
under the rules.
In the ninth round Broad received sew
eral hard straight rights on his damaged
eye. Honors were even in the tenth. The
eleventh round found Sullivan the apgres-
sor. He did the better work as to points.
though his blows lacked steam. In the
twelfth Sullivan was groggy and the gong
was dll IAdI SdV6Q IN the thirteenth
Sullivan was forced to the ropes time and
again and was getting notably weaker.
His eye was almost closed ana his mouth
was bleeding.
Sullivan's wonderful recuperatfve power
asserted itself in the fourteenth round
and the round ended in his favor. In the
sixteenth Sullivan began to weaken
again, Broad having him all but out
Broad poured dozens of upper-cuts to
Sullivan's wind in the seventeenth round
and Sull1Van'S distress was only too evil
dent. Mercilessly Broad kept after him,
and once more, when another stiff punch
would have ended the fight the bell
tapped. The eighteenth round. however
brought the New. York boy up apparently
strong and fresh and both did some very
pretty work, Sullivan rushing for knock
out and Broad allowing him to expend his
energy.
Matters were about even in the nine
teenth, but the twentieth was decidedly
Broads. Several times he rushed Sulli-
van to the ropes and did his best to chop
him down.
In the twenty-first round Sullivan struck
Broad rather low in Nthe stomach and
Broad appeared to be in such agony that
many thought he was going out. He went
howled and cheered him when he came
up in the twenty-second round and, after
some of the fastest fighting ever seen
anywhere, he had the New York boy al
most asleep when the gong once more
saved him.
Both came up very tired in the twenty
third round, though Dave was the
and did no damage. Thus they fought the
next two rounds, at the conclusion of
which Referee Hurst declared Broad the
winner.

The delegates roared and Mr.. Berri
scented the fact that he had been guilty
of making a great big error.

planned Mr.. Berri, with difficulty. He fin
ally made 1t clear that the gentleman was
A. B. Mahoney, whom he wished to nomi-
nate for County Clerk, and that the
trouble arose because he did not know his
full Christian name until a short time
before he placed him In nomination. Like
most people Mr.. Berri had always called
Mr.. Mahoney, Bert After a struggle the
delegates were advised that he was Albert
Blake Mahoney. Mr.. Mahoney was nomi-
mated for County Clerk without opposf-
ton.
Mr.. Wells arrived at this time and was
ushered to the stage. He spoke as fol-

ballot for Mr.. Wells for Mayor. The mo-
ton prevailed and Mr.. Wells was de-
clared the nominee of the party.
Chairman Riordan informed the dele
gates that he had just received tele-
phone message from Mr.. Wells to the
effect that he would not be able to reach
the convention hall for several minutes.
He stated that it was necessary for the
nominee to appear and indorse the plat
form, but thought that to facilitate mat
ters it would be we'll to occupy the time
by proceeding to make further nomina
tions.
Edmund Tauszky was signaled by Chair
man Riordan and he climbed gracefully
upon the stage. He placed Harry Baehr
in nomination for Auditor. Many orators
from various districts and a big-lunged
man in the gallery were profuse in
their efforts to second him. Mr.. Baehr
was duly nominated by acclamation, after
Delegate Harry Larsen of the Fortieth
had caused considerable laughter by de-
claring that he was making "a nomina-
ton that the motions close"
Mr.. Baehr appeared. He was greeted
most enthusiastically by the convention,
and upon Chairman Riordan announcing
that his $40 nomination fee had been paid
nominations for other offices were called
for.
Delegate Thomas L. Henderson of the
Thirty-seventh placed Arthur G. Fisk in
nomination for District Attorney. Dele
gate Partridge was his second. Mr. Fisk
made a neat little speech thanking the
convention for the nomination and prom

ticket to success.
Berri Makes a Hit.
Eugene D. Berri of the Thirty-sixth
made the hit Of the evening. Mr.. Berri
surprised his hearers by saying that he
did not intend to work very hard. Things
are going along very smoothly" he said
This startling admission amused the dele
gates and appealed to their sense of
humor. Finally Mr.. Berri announced that
it was his intention to nominate lone of
the best boys in Noe Valley"

the name of the candidate he intended to
nominate all would have been we'll He

the end that taxation may be reduced to the
