FIFTH ROUND - EDWARDS
QUITS IN THE THIRD
ROUND.

4 good sized crowd filed the Or
phoum last Saturday night to witness
the fstic carnival Despite the fact
that a couple Of the contests failed TO
reach the promised number Of rounds,
the crowd was well pleased and salts
fed that 1t had had its moneys worth.
The first of the preliminary bouts
was between Williams of New York
and Williams of Honolulu. After the
first couple Of rounds the New Yorker
had the Honolulu man pretty well tired
out The affair then assumed the char
acter of a wrestling match, the men
clinching continually. BIZ Woods,
who acted as referee in this and the
two other preliminary bouts, declared
! the contest draw.
Grant Snow from Australia stood up
against Ulysses Harris, for four rounds.
In the first couple of rounds, Harris
made Snow pretty sick but should with
the advantage OF reach and weight on
| his side have been able to put Snow
out in the second round In the third
and fourth rounds Snow rallied and
stood up gamely against Harris, sup
ported by encouraging cheers from the
| crowd. Harris was given the decision
after the four rounds prescribed were
over.
The next bout was to have been a
four round go between spider" Jack
, son and Jack Edwards. but II was not
' 80 ha nt,tf In tho thfrl
round. II Is said that Edwards. before
the fight had boosted that he would
put Spider" ont in two rounds. He
went for Jackson like a bun with his
head down and. as a consequence. re-
Ceived all sorts OF knocks in the head
from the lanky fighter, who easily had
the best of II all through the game.
In the third round Spider" went az
| ter Edwards who finally. after being
| knocked through the ropes, decided
| that he had had enough and quit. much
to the Indignation of all the spectators.
The star number of the evening the
| ten round contest between Jack Wee
day and Kamisky, the man from Camp
! Mckinley, came next. Paddy" Ryan,
who acted as referee, warned the fight
ers that II .hey faxed it." they would
/ get no money and he himself would
throw them out of the ring. He then
] announced to the spectators that he
would see to ii that there was no fax
ing"
In the first couple Of rounds Weeday
took things easily and let the soldier
punch him quite a bit. answering only
with an occasional blow.
In the third round. the soldier start
ed to rush Weekday and got him into a
corner where he landed several good
ones on the latters head.
In the fourth Weeday assumed the
aggressive and both men went in for
some terrific smuggling, but clinched al
most continually.
In the fifth round the soldier went to
pieces ana went to the floor numerous
times. He kept at II gamely, however
until Weeday finally landed blow on
the neck. knocking the soldier to the
floor where he remained and was
counted out.
II was easy to see that the soldier
had been no match for Weeday, but
his gameness made the fight worth
seeing.
Much credit is due to Joe Cohen for
his management OF the affair. 1t was
first class in every particular and the
crowd went away entirely satisfied.
