 Seattle, Wash, Nov S.-Rufe Turner knocked out Perry Queenan in the eighth round of their bout here last night.
 Boston, Nov S.-Dave Sullivan of New York received the decision on a foul in his fight here last night with Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea. The al legged foul occurred in the seventh round of what was to have been a twelve round bout, and the decision of Referee Dan Donnelly was greeted with cheers and misses.
 The men were to box twelve rounds at 12S pounds, but Sullivan refused to weigh in. During the first round Sul- livan was easily the superior boxer During the second, however, Briggs bored in with both hands to the body and eyened matters up. In this round Sullivan struck Briggs and nearly put him out after the bell sounded. After this round Briggs boxed well. although Sullivan always had slight lead on points. In the fifth round Sullivan began to tire and held several times.
 Tn the sixth round the referee warn ed Briggs for hitting low, although the latter was simply using vicious i left-handed uppercut. Toward the end of this round Sullivan sank to the floor, stating that he was fouled. Don nelly sent the boys to their corners, but after a minutes rest allowed the bout to continue. In the last round the fighting was fast and furious and during the middle of the round Sulli- van again sank to his knees, stating that he had been struck low again. Pandemonium reigned and after a short rest the go was allowed to con tinue. After a sharp exchange Sulli- van again sought the mat and the ref cree awarded the decision to him on a foul. <~

 Word has been received in New York that there is no longer harmony between Jim Jeffries and his mana I ger, Billy Delaney, and that the pair have decided to separate. The report said that the pair had a heated argu- ment at Los Angeles the other night ,. and that the bef1ermaker informed De. fancy that he need not arrange any more matches for him in the future. It is understood that the break is fi- nal and that there will not be any re conciliatfon. The reason given for the split is that Jeffrfes was displeased with the way Delaney coached him during his recent battle with Bob Fitz- simmons. Jeffries promised Delaney that he would box Fitzsimmons as Delaney advised him. The latter. if is said, kept telling Jeffries to permit Fitz to do all the fighting and look o1if for the Cornishman's right swing This advice. Jeffries declares kept him from ending the fight sooner than he did, and he believes that his prestige was also considerably impaired with the public for fighting in the manner Delaney suggested. This is not the first time Jeffries and Delaney have quarrelled. They had a tilt when Jeffries was training for his mill with Tom Sharkey at Coney Island.
