special attraction being a six round
bout between Jack O'Brien of this
city and Marvin Hart, the rugged
middleWeight slugger of Louisville.
Not much can be said of the first
five rounds, although in the fifth
Harris nose was set a-bleeding and
O'Brien gained a clean Touchdown.
The sixth round, however, was hum
mer. Hart evidently had been play
ing waiting game, for he cut loose
in the most vigorous style. He landed
on O'Brien hard and often and sent
him to the floor once.
Hart started proceedings by missing
a hard whack on the ribs with his
right, O'Brien jabbing the face. AL

southerner paid most attention to the
body. The latter got home one hard
left near the close, and Jack retaliated
with stiff upper cut on the face.
The men clinched almost as soon as
they toed the scratch in the second
round. Hart then put his left on the
ear and O'Brien came back with q

right to jaw, following this up with
right and left to jaw again.
O'Brien brought the blood from

James J. Jeffries' def is answered.
The champion of champions a few
days ago announced that he would
fight any man in the world. He slip
ulated, however, that he would con-
slider only the best business induce
ments. Following out this line,
George Grant, manager of Kid Mccoy,
last night wired to the boilermaker.
tJeffries says he is anxious to set
on match" said Grant. GAS Jeffries
is the champion, he has the right to
4 dictate terms but as he has sent broad
cast a statement that he will fight any
one for the best inducement offered,
here are our proposals.
Mccoy will fight him on this basis:
65 per cent to the winner and 35 per
cent to the loser. Jeffries can name
the referee, and we will waive the
wrist bandages. AS an evidence of our
good faith we will post a first forfeit
of $1,000 with anyone that Jeffries
names.
"All Mccoy asks is that he has four
months to prepare for this fight. He
will concede every other matter, and
will fight under any conditions that
Jeffries elects.
