oUEENAN DEFEATS HAWKINS.
Old FIGHTER Went Down In Fourteenth

Old Fighter Went Down In Fourteenth
Misunderstanding Bout at Seattle.
Seattle, Wash, April 16.-Dal Hawe
kins went down to defeat before Perry
Queenan at the Armory after one OF
the prettiest fights ever pulled off in
Seattle. The end came with startling
suddenness. Both men were fighting
fast and going strong in the thirteenth
round, when just at the close Perry
caught Dal terrific blow in the stom,
ach. The old fighter bent nearly dou,
BILE and the bell saved him from goins
out in that round. Dal was plainly
worried when he came out of his cor,
ner for the fourteenth, but went to
defeat with gameness. Perry carried
the fight right to Dal from the tap Of
the gong and ripped a terrific right to
Hawkins body. Dal swayed and saved
himself from going to the floor only
by spreading his legs. Queenan was
after him like tiger. He sent long
right to the jaw and followed with g
right to the same spot. Dal went to
the floor with a crash His head struck
first and he was counted out.
1t was a clean fight and the best
man won.
