SIX ROUNDS TO A DRAW
CHOYNSKI AND HART ENGAGE IN
A FIERCE CONTEST.
Hart Sent Choynski to the Floor in
the Third Roundabout Men Re-
ceived Punishment.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-Joe Choynsk
and Marvin Hart fought six rounds to a
draw tonight before large crowd at the
Washington Sporting Club. 1t was a
whirlwind fight from start to finish, and
one of the best seen in the heavyweight
class in this city in long time.
Each man took severe punishment The
two fighters started out at a terrific pace,
hitting right and left with telling effect
There was no perceptible difference in the
men during the first two rounds. In the
third round Hart sent Choynski to the
floor with a terrific punch on the jaw
ChoynsN remained on the floor until Ref
cree Recap counted eight and then rose
to his feet and came back vigorously at
Hart. but the latter managed to hold his
own.
The men fought so hard in the first three
rounds that they came to the center of the
ring in the fourth looking very tired. AS
a consequence the round was rather tame
In the fifth, however, they again went at
each other with terrific smashes of rights
and lefts. In the sixth round Hart looked
a trifle- fresher than Choynski Hart hit
Choynsh with his right and left almost
at will. The latter was weakening rapidly
and was little groggy until thirty sec
onds from the end of the round, when he
rallied He rushed at Hart and smashed
him frequently with his right. Hart weak
ened by his own exertions earlier In the
round was unable to withstand Choynski's
onslaught, and the latter kept punching
him until the bell announced the end of
the Eighth. Notwithstanding the amount
of punishment received, neither man was
badly hurt. Hart was bleeding at the nose
and mouth, and Choynski had a slight cut
over the right eye
Choynski appeared to be in better condi-
ton than Hart. The latter looked as
though he weighed about fifteen pounds
heavier than his opponent
