dealing in any manner with the manu-

are to be expelled from the knights of

in an interview in New York, said that
three years ago the order voted to ex-
cludc liquor dealers, but as subordinate
lodges recently have paid little heed to
the law the matter is to be taken up by
the national board of directors, which
will meet in New Haven in July If it
is found that liquor dealers are still
members Of the order, all such will be
expelled and the offending councils dis
ciplined.
An insurance clause is one Of the fea-

FELTz FOULED SMITH.
Brooklyn Light Weight Loses
Hard Fought Battle.

'Tommy" Feltz of Brooklyn, last night
lost his fight with Sammy Smith at the
| Academy of Music, this city, on foul.
1t was to have been a fifteen round bout,
but in the sixth round Feltz uppercut
Smith while the latter was on one knee.
1t was a rank foul and was plainly seen
by every one in the building. Lew
Dehler, who acted as referee, promptly
gave the desiciOn to Smith, which was
considered just by the audience. The
foul blow was terrific one and nearly
put Smith out
The fight up until the time the foul
blow was struck was a good one. 1t
was the general opinion that the Brook
Ign boy had slightly the best of the fight
up until that time. He did most of the
fighting in the first four rounds, but in
the fifth and sixth rounds Smith got in
some good work and seemed to be get
ting stronger. A large number of sports
from Philadelphia were present to see the
fight as Smith is Philadelphia boy and
very popular with the Quaker City
sports.
The preliminary bouts were both IN
usually exciting. What was to have
been a ten round bout between Eddie
McCafferty of Philadelphia and Joseph
O'IIara of Chester. was stopped by the
police in the eighth round. O'Hara at
the time the fight was stopped had
badly cut eye. Mr.. Cafferty had the best
of the eighth round. There was also an
exciting six round go between Johnny
Joyce and Eddie Garfield, both of this
city. Garfield was given the decision.
The fights were held under the aus
pieces Of the Delaware Athletic Club.
The attendance was probably the largest
that ever before witnessed boxing
tournament in this city. 1t is estimated
that nearly 1000 persons were present
Every seat in the house was occupied
and large number were compelled to
stand. The wind-up of the Feltz- Smith
bout was great disappointment to the
audience. 1t was understood that the
winner Of the fight would meet Danny
Dougherty for the bantem weight cham
pionship of the world Smith got the
decision over Feltz before and the latter
was anxious to redeem himself.
