The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1902-10-23

Hughey Clancy OF Pawtucket and Kid
Powell OF Pawtucket. who were the main
attraction at the monthly smoker Of the
wilkins Athletic club last evening. went
the limit OF 10 rounds to a draw. this af-
ter an exhibition which was excellent so
far as demonstrating Powell's sprinting
ability. and which showed some clever
work on the part OF both men.
Young Leon OF New York and Jimmy
Malloy OF this city went six rounds 10
draw, the former holding his own against
a heavier man. Jack Kilman OF Mount
Pleasant and Young Clark Of Fall River
went one round and the referee stopped
the bout because Kilian was much out
classed.
Killian took the place OF Monk" the
Newsboy. and this bout was not what
was expected. Jack Martin Of the North
End and Tim Murphy OF South Providence
wrestled 30 minutes and both men got a
fall. This was also draw.
The smoker was attended by at least
300 people and there was good deal or
interest In the bouts. Outside OF the long
delay before the principals appeared
there was no reason for criticism, Stan
ton Abbott was referee and his decisions
were fairly given. although some found
fault with the decision In the CLANCY
Powell bout
The feature OF the main bout was Pow
ellis hit and run tactics. He was about
Clancy like a terrier about bull ana ne
awaited his opportunity 10 mix ana then
came In with solid punches and right
swing that landed often. The CLANCY men
were somewhat dissatisfied with the tac-
tics of Powell, but there were within
reason when Queensbury rules are the
vogue.
Clancy started in from the centre or
the ring and Powell began his sprinting
He circled about and then rushed In,
lending a right and CLANCY came back
with labs on the body. Then the men be-
gan brisk work and the clinches that were
INDUCED in were followed by clever WORK
in getting away. The fighting was much
the same throughout the bout. Powell
tripped about the ring like two-year-
old and Clancy awaited his coming The
game was something new for CLANCY ana
he apparently lacked steam In his punch
es and he did not shape himself Tor the
continually changing conditions.
The second round was somewhat IN
GIancv's favor. for he hi: the harder.
hut he did not land as he wanted and
Powell continued 10 hit and run. CLANCY
tried series Of uppercuts In the thlrd
and did not land for Powell ducked beau
t!fully Powell stopped suddenly once ana
gave CLANCY three lovely right swings be-
no was al. and handed I'm a few left Jabs
ON the ribs for good measure. CLANCY
could not guard well against the SWINGS
but he plugged for Powelfs ribs.
AS the bout grew older Clancy learned
how TO get, away from Powells swings
and he PLAYED for the body constantly,
while Powell would at times turn and
come back like cornered rat. CLANCY
had the better Of the fourth round and ne
started in VIGOROUSLY I'm the NTH. but
Powell would turn unexpectedly and hght
fast and hard for 3 brief intervals. All
the time CLANCY was improving and only
poveTrs sprint saved him severe punish
nent Powell did some clever work In
avoiding punishment but Clancy clearly
had the better OF the work when they
came together.
THE sixth. sc-cnth and eighth rounds
were fast and well fought. both men went
nj 1. strongly and both hammered away
at the body OF his opponent, and IN the
ninth round Powell got In several OF MS
orlrht swings. The last round was fast
and CLANCY had the better luck In the
breaks. The decision was not wholly ap-
nroved. but II would appear the referee
was fair and imparNal.-
The Malloy-Leon bout was clever TOT
Loon. while pounds lighter than Mailoy'
was clever and shifty and he evened up
the difference in weight by MS lVely anu
arrartive work The bout was interesting
,broughout and aside from Malloy's In
cIInation TO punch in the clinches the
snectators heartily approved the work.
Tbe other bout was stopped at the end
OF the first round as hllnan was ho
match for his opponent
