D.Iey Had Best of Most of the
Rounds So No Kick Was Made on
neferee Jenkins Decision-Many
WAGON EII1s Were Present.
Tommy Feltz, the winner of every
otber tight that he has taken part in
IN savannah and supposedly the clev-
srost man at his weight in the South,
and one of the cleverest in the coun-
.rv lost a decision to Andy Daley last
night after twenty rounds of as hard
1chting as any of the light weights
have ever put up in Savannah.
Daley couldn't put Feltz out though
he tried hard to do so, but he had
clearly the best of the great majority
of the rounds and so was entitled to
the DECISION. Th. bout wasn't even
close enough for Feltz's frlerds 10
kick on Referee Jenkins ruling.
Daley was in the better condition ana
his work both with hands and feet
was better than Feltz's. In fact, Tom
MY appear CN " &c lOO 4ACOllSs ne
best at 115-11S pounds, but in order to
get the match with Daley had to get
I'd to 122. This in a measure accounts
for the fact that he was not as fast
as he usually is. Daley also had the
hight.
Was "a Clever Bout.
The bout taken as a whole was a
very clever one, and each determined
10 win, and that by a knock-o out If pos
sibe. With this end in view they kept
things hustling from the first gong to
the last. There was little sparring, it
was punch, swing, duck and get away
The hot work began ten seconds after
the first bell rang. DAILY rushed Feltz
and landed left to the ribs and Feltz
from the force of the rush and blow
went to his knees. He was quickly
up and mixed it UP with DAILY in some
fierce mitigating, which finally turned
into a wrestling match, and that was
only ended when both men fell to the
floor with Daily on top. Another rush
and wrestling match in the same round
sent Feltz through the ropes.
In the second round DAILY landed a
right jab to Feltz's left eye, which
caused that member to become pretty
badly swollen, but Feltz came back
with a right to the head which cut the
skin just above the ear, and brought
blood until the cut was cauterized.
Each jabbed at these sore spots in the
succeeding rounds and landed often
enough to make them decidedly I'M
pleasant to their respective owners.
A Fierce Mix-up.
The third round was marked by moth
Ing definite on either side; Daily landed
quick right to the ear, and left to
4 the face Feltz catching it as he duck
ed, and Feltz got in some good blows
on the wind, but the following round
was marked by the fiercest mixup that
4 had taken place up to that time and
one of the tiercest of the entire bout
4 Daley put his left to Tommy's head
4 and followed it a second later with an
4 other to the same place then they went
4 together in to smuggling match in
4 which Tommy landed hard and often,
4 50 hard that Daley clinched him to
4 save himself.
In round Daley began sprinting
around the ring. Feltz followed him
for awhile, then stopped and waited
for his man. The crowd laughed and
leered and Daley quit his foot work
and came to the scratch. Daley had
all the best of the next round, for he
landed about two blows to every one
OF Feltz's and these punches and the
necessity of doing the hot foot" after
his slippery antagonist began to tell on
4 Iommy's wind. He looked tired.
Helped Him to His Feet.
In clinch that took place in the
next round Feltz again slipped to the
moor and Daley promptly helped him

slared at each, other kicked about the
methods used, and finally descended to
