FORT ERIE, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Tom-
my Ryan may be the veteran of the
middleweights in the prize ring, but he
is still far from back number. To-
night in the arena of the Fort Erie
club, in vicious bruising fight he
knocked out kid" Carter, of Brook
Ign, in the last minute of the sixth
round. The knockout was clean and
decisive, and came chiefly as the result
of the superior ring generalship Of
Ryan-ring generalship which enabled
him throughout to successfully evade
or withstand the heavy onslaughtS Of
his opponent
Sturdy and heavy hitting, proud of
his endurance, full of energy, conf
dence and ambition, Carter was no
mean opponent. In fact, he hustled
Ryan throughout the fight, forcing him
from corner to corner with wicked
lunges which effectually destroyed any
effort on Ryan's part to box prettily.
Forced to fight, Ryan finally went at
the. game as few can. He stung and
stabbed Carter until he had him bleed
ing and bewildered, and then several
well placed right-arm jolts on the jaw
tunbled the husky young fellow a
bleeding mass of insensible humanity
to the rosin. Carter fought ganely,
and tried hard, but he suffered about
all the visible punishment that was
noticed during the fight. Such men as
Mccoy, Jack O'Brien and others looked
with amazement on the Kansas City
mans work tonight. While the bout
was too short to sufficiently test Tom
my's endurance, there was nothing very
terrifying to his hackers in the weari-
ness he displayed at any time.
Lunsed and Plunged.
The very nature of the fight put up
by Carter prevented Tommy from dis
playing at his best his well known foot
work, but he side-stepped, lunged and
plunged in the beautiful manner of
old. When forced to mix he went at
it willingly, and with rare judgment,
and when in the fifth and sixth rounds
Garter slowed up a BIZ, Ryan jabbed him
numerically, reducing him to a plight
where if the pace continued the knock
out seemed only question Of mo-
mentS.
The men entered the ring at 9:45.
The seconds for Carter were Bob Arm
Harry PETERS and Barley, of Bing-
hamton.
George Siler, the veteran Chicago
referee, was introduced as the official
for the main bout.
