 Philadelphia, March 17.--A good crowd filled the Washington Sporting club last night to witness a six-round contest between Tim Callahan and "Crockey'' Boyle. The bout went the limit and proved to be one of the pest affairs of it's kind held in this city Ill some months. The fact that Boyle has met such men as Young Corbett, Terry McGoyern, Joe Bernstein, etc, made him the favorite with the sports, who wagered that Callahan would not out point him. Their judgment was all right as Callahan had all he could do to sustain his own reputation. In the first round the men were very cautious and did considerable sparring, not telling blow being scored. In the Sec" ond, however. they came together with bang and mixed 1t up in royal style. Callahan got to the wind With the left, but received vicious counter on the jaw which sent him almost across the ring. Nothing daunted. he returned with two lefts to the wind and heayE right on the mark Boyle showed cour- age and did not mind the smashes Callahan was all over Boyle in the third. He cracked "Crockey" twice on the ear with swings and jabbed him on the mouth with the left. Boyle did some rushing, but was met with a left hook on the chin that almost sent him flying. Boyle toward the end had the better of the exchanges and had Tim tired. Boyle jabbed~ Callahan several times without return in the. fourth. Ill the mix-ups. of which there were plenty, Boyle forced Callahan to clinch. Boyle after landing stiffiy on the jaw received q hard uppercut on the face. But Boyle eyened matters with the right and had Callahan in trouble at the bell. Callahan was active i'll the fifth, but could not get out of the way Of Boyle's swings, which were accu- rately delivered and told. Tim got home heavy left at close quarters, but in the exchanges which followed he was much worsted. Just before the bell tolled Callahan drew the blood from Boyle's nose with vicious jab. The two lost no time in the sixth. Gal lahan fought desperately, but Boyle met him like Trojan, countering and landing both hands. Callahan had the better of the infghting, but Boyle's knocks on tho lread and the ear made Tim win6e. Bowie kept after Callahan all the time, and when the gong sound ad he appeared to be as fresh and will ing as ever.
