pit Of Harry Forbes stomach in the second
round Of scheduled twenty-round fight.
Forbes. by virtue Of holding the champion
ship. was two-to-one favorite In the bet
ting. but Neil in spite Of that fact had
many local supporters. In the first round
OF the fight no effective blows were landed
until Forbes. who appeared in splendid
condition, began to show himself as the
heavier boxer of the two. But he could not
land effectively.
When they came up for the second round
Neil dashed out with his left and landed a
terrific punch on Forbes stomach. The
eastern champion doubled up like q Jack
knife and fell over backwards. He lay in
the corner Of the ring gasping for breath,
but managed to get up before ten seconds
were counted. Neil went at his man like q
young tiger, and rained a shower OF blows
on the almost defenseless Forbes. Another
punch in the stomach sent Forbes down
again, and Referee Graney counted him out
Neil evidently did not hear the end Of
the count. for as Forbes struggled to his
feet Nell landed another left on the Jaw
and sent his man under the ropes.
There was vigorous CRY Of foul from the
Forbes people, but as their man had al
ready been counted out IL was Of no avail
Considerable interest was manifested In
this contest, as the men had met before,
when Neil claimed q foul, which was not
allowed by the referee. and the decision

It Is doubtful II in any base ball league,

aggregation the Reds were up against We'd
nesday and will probably meet again today.
Temple won its first game from Sixth, IA to
8, and lost the second by the same score,
which makes the Tigers one to the good
on the Reds. counting Wednesdays victory.
Temple and Gunton have split even on their
four games. Owing to the absence of many
vacations and the Strengthening of the
various teams seldom during the season
have the same players participated in two
successive games. but, In view of the close
ness of the struggle for the championship,
the Tigers so far as practicable, should line
up the same against the Grays on Monday
as they do against the Reds today.
Beyond doubt the Tiger team Wednes-
day was the strongest 1T has had in the
