BOXING EXHIBITION SATISFIES
EVERYBODY.
Eaminsky Lasted Five Rounds
Fought Gamely To the Finish-Pre-
limiuary Bouts Fair.

Boxing exhibitions may be said to
have been fairly revived by the affair
on Saturday night at the Orpheum
when Weday put out Kaminsky i'm the
fifth There was no suspicion of a fake
and deveryOne got their moneys
worth. There was a genuine knockout,
a practical knockout and another bout
that could have ended the same way if
Harris had wanted to settle the mat
ter.
The preliminary bouts were neither
better nor worse than the usual affairs.
Williams of Honolulu, a white boy, APP
peared against Williams of New York,
colored. Honolulu Williams was grOg-
gy before he started and seemed to
have been bracing himself up too much
in the afternoon The two wrestled
and fell over each other like playful
pups in a barn. The bout was called
a draw by Billy Woods, who acted as
referee for the prelims
Ulysses Harris had little difficulty in
staving off the latter's attacks. Snow
wanted to quit but the crowd jollied
him along the four rounds. Harris got
the decision, though he fouled Snow
in the second.
Spider Jackson had matters simpl-
fed for him by Ills opponent Jack Ed
left numerically. In the third Ed
wards was finally rushed through the
ropes where he sat while Woods count
ed him out.
The Weday-Kaminsky contest was
announced for ten rounds. Referee
Ryan told the men tersely that unless
they fought fair he would declare it
no contest throw them both out Of the
ring and they would go home purSe-
less To the crowd he said: This is
to be a ten round contest. There will
be a decision and l will see that there
is no monkey business. That's all"
The crowd appreciates referees of Ry-
ans calibre.
Weday looked in shape, but Kamns-
ky was fat and long way from train
ing perfection. Both were willing ana
kaminsky game to the finish. He
lacks prize ring experience in klUNl-
edge of dangerous blows and general
ship. Weday was cool throughout.
Kaminslly went to work on Weday's
head, a useless proceeding in view of
Weday's Well-knOWn capacity for )u1-
ishment in that direction. He landed
one or two body blows in clinches, but
they were misplaced and non-effective.
Weday started work with a right arm
lead that goes over the left shouldCg
comes round in a hook and lands az
the of his opponents neck. This he
repeated continually. The disposition
is for the opponent to clinch and the
whole fight was a succession of clinch-
es in which, however, there was big
punishment given and taken, Weday
took life easily in the first but starred
the aggressive in the second, gettinG to
the soldiers heart and continuing the
damaging hooks. Kaminsky put in
all he knew in the third and pushed
Weday's head back several times. We
day bored away at the body.
In the fourth smuggling was thu order
of the round Every pound of bee:
went behind the blows The hooks on
the soldiers neck began to daEe him
and a terrific punch over the kidneys
settled the business.
At the fifth gong Kaminsky rallied
for all that he had left Weday floor
ed him with a right jab in the ribs fol-
lowed by a left on the jaw. He got up
in an instant and rushed. oBth fell.
Kaminsky was palpably out. and an
other smash on the side Of the head
sent him down again. Five times he
went down and rose till a lass one on
the neck left him down and out. We
Gay seemed perfectly fresh after tn"
fight Kaminsky was dazed with the
hooks and complained of his head. The
crowd was satisfied and no kicks were
heard The best man had won.
