 key Claimed a Foul.

Oakland, Cal, December 23.-The championship bantam contest between Harry Forbes of Chicago and Frank Neil of San Francisco before the Reli- anCe club tonight ended in an unsatis- factory manner in the seventh round. Neil claimed he had been hit below the bet and danced against the ropes for Q second and then fell to the floor. He was carried to corner and while in the ring he was examined by two physicians. They stated they could seq no evidence of foul and would give a positive decision in an hour. Referee Smith said he would reserve his Gecis- ion for an hour pending the report of the clubs physicians. The public was divided as to whether a foul blow wGa struck.
 Nell made q brave battle for seven rounds and took much punishment. Forbes proved to be general in the ring and constantly jostled his oppo- nent. It was only in the rushcs and fierce fighting that Neil made a show ing. During the entire fight Forbes was composed and landed well-placed blows and it looked as though he would surely win. At the finish Neil claimed to be in great pain but outside of the alleged injury he showed little punish ment.
