The committee in charge of the
movement to retain the Presbyterian
Seminary is making the final report
for presentation to the South Caro-
lima Synod at that body's next meet
ing. With the fight being made by
the Tennessee Seminary it is now
thought that all efforts by Atlanta
80 far as this institution is concerned
will be abandoned. There are 30
many legal obstacles in the way that
it would take years to have the fight
settled either way and the delay only
counts that much more in favor of

Munroe Knocked Out.

Munroe Knocked Out.
San Francisco, Aug. rs Like the
yeriest amateur in the prize ring,
Jack Munroe, of Butte, Mont, went
down and out before Champion Jim
j. fries tonight in the second round.
The man from the mining district
made such an extremely sorry show
ing that the great throng iu Me-
chanics' pavilion roundiy hooted him
as he protested to Referee Gsaney
against the decision that bad been
given in favor of Jefries.
The two giants had not been in
the ring two minutes when it was
foreseen that the aspirations OF Mum
roe would be quickly disposed OF.
The miner was scared and awkard
and Jtffries in the first round had
him twice on the canvass taking the
count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent
and each shot was followed by a blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees, Jeffries went back to his cor
ner after the opening round with Q
sneer and laugh on his swarthy
face while Munroe's seconds busted
themselves with smelling salts and
restoratives. When the two came
together for the second round the
laugh on the champions visage
changed to a look Of determination
that bodied i'll to the miner.
Forty.fve secords after the gong
sounded Munroe was lying on the
floor bloody, bruised mass Of hu-
manity with Jsffries standing over
him, ready, if necessary, to put the
quietus on the championship am
bitions of his adversary. The miner
was TOO dazed to rise to his feet and
the timekeepers counted him cut,
but the husky man from California
did not understand that the victory
was already his nor could Munroe
realize that his pugilistic star had so
early set and the two men in a mo-
ment were facing one another and
Jefsries landed terrific blow on
the jaw Of his staggering opponent.
It was at this time that Graney
came forward and ordered Jeffeies
away, telling him that the fight was
ended in his favor. Munroe tottered
to bis corner with blood streaming
from his face aud fell into his chair
helpless. His seconds Immediately
began working on him to freshen
him and when he came to a realiza-
tion that the fight had gone against
him he arose and, going over to
Referee Graney, began to protest.
The huge crowd understood his pro-
testing and mighty volume of
jeering and kissing evidenced the
sentiment Of the spectators, many of
whom had placed the miner that he
would stay at least double the num-
Der of rounds before the champion.
From the time the bell rang for the
commencement of the battle to the
time that the count of 10 had been
uttered against Munroe, only 4 min.
ntes and IS seconds had elapsed.
This fight demonstrated, if nothing
else, that the world has yet to pro-
duce a pugilist who will displace
James J. Jeffeies as champion of the
world.
