Boston. Dec. 22.-Tomy Feltz, an old
time favorite I'm Boston. and boy that

boxed for the first time In many months
ut the Tammany A. c. last evening. and
took the worst beating he has ever re-
ceived here. Chester Goodwin OF Chelsea,
q boy who has already grasped the first
few rungs I'm the ladder of fame, was the
boy who administered the whipping
Feitzs work was disappointing, while
that OF Goodwin was a revelation. IL took

although he had TO take severe punish
ment, went the limit
For several months Feltz has been box
ing I'm the West and Philadelphia, having
won a contest In the latter city last Sat
urday night. The once clever lad was al
most wholly at sea last evening. He
rushed at times wildly, and he might just
as well have been miles away when II

the other hand, was as clever AS he has
ever been. The way he whipped In right
hooks 10 Feitz's body was a caution.
He forced the fighting all the while.
FeltE was willing enough and countered
hard at times, but many OF his enorts
were blocked. Al every stage OF the game
Goodwin was Feltzs superior. At outside
work his long reach allowed him TO hold
Feltz OF and cross rights and lefts 10 the
head, while inside he hammered Feltz on
the body In exactly the same style as

The bout marked the reopening OF the
club under its new management. on the
whole. IL was the best contest pulled on
there In many a day. IL was hard slug
eing all the time. Early in the contest
Feltz landed hard on Goodwin's mouth
and brought the blood TO his lips. A ntue
later he smashed a glancng left hook to
Goodwin's jaw. after the latter had led,
and Tie force of II was so great that
Goodwin went TO his knees, but was up
directly.
Toward the end OF the bout Goodwin's
persistent jabbing began TO count. In
one round he started the blood from
Feltzs nose, and in the next had IL run
ming so freely that the little blond looked
like a painted warrior. In the last two
rounds Feltz's nose hattened perceptibly
and toward the end OF the bout II was
almost impossible for him to breathe.
Goodwin won fairly and squarely, and
: was loudly cheered. Feltz too was
cheered for his sand and gameness.
