 Philadelphia, Dec 11.-Bob Arm strong and Denver Ed'' Martin were both doing business in the ring at the Penn Art Athletic club last night when the gong sounded in the sixth round. This condition of affairs. however, was through no fault of Martins. He took the count four times in the fourth round. and had Armstrong used any thing like good judgment he would have secured a clean-cut win. But his anxiety was too highly developed and he permitted Martin to take q new lease of life. There was plenty doing after the first two rounds. It was first Hull and then a mighty up- heaval of jolts and rib-crackers It ended in draw.

Zeigler took the count and got up wild as an infuriated bull, striking right and left He made desperate attack or Matthews, but Referee Jenkins stopped the fight and gave the decision to Mat thews. Up to the decisive blow it was anybody's fight, and one of the hottest ever seen here.
