out the pace doing most of the lead
ing and doing most of the landing, to,
for at the end of both this and the sue
ceeding round Zeigler looked weak and
generally to the bad. He was still
strong enough to be vicious, however,
as Sullivan discovered in the four
teenth when Zeigler began systematic
cally to punch for the stomach and to
take all sorts of chances in the way
of returns if he could but land on his
adversary. He sent in two hard lefts
TO Sullivan's bread basket, forced him
over in a corner, and landed twice
more to the stomach right and a left,
before the round closed. The last
blow god stiff swing, raised Sulli-
van on his toes from the force of it.
Was SuIIivan's Turn.
Sullivan had the best of the next
round for though Zeigler again landed
heavily on the stomach, Sullivan got in
a perfect rain of blows to the face
and generally had the better of the
round. Zeigler turned the tables in the
sixteenth, though, when he landed
both harder and oftener than Sullivan.
Sullivan started rushing again in the
seventeenth and once sent Owen to
the ropes and again sent him through
the ropes, the last with a stiff left to
the jaw.
Zeigler had all the best of the eigh-
teenth round for four times he landed
on Sullivan's stomach good and strong.
and gave him an awful left wallop on
the neck as the gong sounded. Sulli-
van cut out the work in the first part
Of the nineteenth round by sending
four successive jabs to the face, but
little later Zeigler landed an upper
cut to the stomach that sent Sullivan to
his knees for a few seconds. After this
round, though both men continued to

sullivan Was Popular.
Sullivan seemed to have the greater
number of we'll wishers in the house,
and al the close of the bout these clam
ored for a decision in his favor Zeig-
ler's friends, though few in number,
were equally vociferous, and it was
sometime before Referee Shorty Jen-
kins could be heard. When compara-
tive quiet was secured he stated that
inasmuch as the men had gone twenty
five rounds and that Zeigler had been
the aggressor throughout even though
Sullivan-he stopped here and as the
crowd howled some more, he waited for
a lull, simply said draw" and quit
1t is not yet decided whether it will be
Zeigler or Sullivan that will meet Jack
Bennett on July IS. 1t was announced
from the ring-side that Kid Goodman
will meet Tommy Feltz July 4.
A preliminary to the main event was
to have been fought by Jack Sheehan
and Jack Mccormick of Baltimore. 1t
went one round and then was declared
no fight, because Mccormick was so
totally ignorant of the game that he
couldn't even make it interesting.
Flanagan was then brought in to
meet Sheehan. Flanagan tried rush
ing Sheehan in the first round, but was
stopped with a left to the face. They
mixed it up with honors pretty well
even for the remainder of the round,
but in the second round Sheehan sent
Flanagan down with a left to the jaw
and sent him down three times more
i'm rapid succession Flanagan looked
pretty groggy when he came up for
the next go. and Sheehan sailed in to
him and with well directed punches
that were backed with plenty of steam,
knocked him down three times more.
The last time Flanagan took the count
ar would have had not Referee Jenkins
claimed that he was simply trying to
avoid punishment. For this he dls7
qualified him and gave the bout to
Sheehan.
