At the Lincoln Athletic club last Satur-
day evening a good sized crowd witnessed
the boxing exhibition. The preliminary
bout between Peter Reynolds Of Lawrence
and Michael Mack of this town lasted 9
rounds and resulted in a draw. In the
bout between Kretschmar and Matthew
son it was business all the way, and the
referee stopped them In the 9Th round.
The local man had decidedly the worst OF
It, but deserves credit for his staying
qualities under the conditions. 1t is re.
ported that Matthewson has $150 to place
on the probability of his giving better
exhibition of boxing for rounds than
Sullivan of the Lincoln club. This idea
of Matthewson's may lead to an exhibition
at later date when, the Rockville man
and Sullivan will be the star performers.
