There were some other features than
those relating to spsrring INF uced at
the exhibition furnished by thcsBrighton
Park A. A. last evening, when Kid Far
rem OF Baltimore and Al belmont of Med
ford met on the mat.
II was thought that the two men were
nearly equal as 10 ability and develop
ment, so that rafting good exhibition
lasting long enough TO furnish some very
good sport would be seen. The managers
of the southern lad. however, had under
estimated the merits OF belmont and he
won In the second round
In the first round OF the hght both boys
showed speed, and the crowd was just
beginning TO warm up 10 the contest ana
TO take delight in the display of science,
when belmont took the matter into his
hands and presenting Farren with left
TO the jaw, sent that lad into slumber-
land before the first half Of the second
round was completed.
Jimmy Farren, introduced as the 1i2-
pound champion of the south, ana Al
belmont OF Medford was presented as the
i12-pound champion Of New England. The
men looked In the pink OF condition. Both
boys showed up well In the opening
round belmont proved the faster. He
possessed a wicked left jsb. which was
much I'm evidence and he shook II into
Farren's face hard several times. Farren
used left swing TO keep bis man at
distance but was unable to land IL nara
enough to count Both men were snlfty
and clever. and in the inHs~hting no de-
cided advantage was apparent while the
fight lasted.
The second round opened with a clinch,
after which belmont put stiff left lab
10 the face They clinched again and
belmont got the better of the innghung'
After they separated and were sparring
for an opening belmont suddenly MADE
n feint with the right and they worked
a shift, sending the left to the point OF
the Jaw. Farren fell TO the moor ana at
the count OF ten still lay there. He was
carried TO his corner. where his second re-
yived him, and belmont was declared the
winner. -
The preliminary bout was oet"eeh
Jimmy Connolly of Bristol ana iouhs
Murphy of Mount Pleasant, ana In point
OF prolonged interest was by far the oes.
II was the first public appearance Oh DOM
bays and under the circumstances tnes
made a creditable appearance. Botn lack-
"a se,snce and connolly was also lacking
i'm aggressveness.
T,rpe and again in the early part OF the
hout he had opportunities TO reach nis
man but after getting Murphy on tne
run he waited for him TO recover instead
of going in and finishing him. In the
ninth round Murphy sent his man 10 tne
foor for the count. ConnolIy was apout
all I'm when he arose, but displayed re-
-fnarkafre pameness. and in spite or the
shower of blows rained on him man
oped 10 stay the round out by holding
on and staling. In the hnal round
Nurnhy started in TO finish his man, but
Connolly kept cool and by clever de-
fensive work saved himself.
Referee Jimmy Dolan's decision OF
draw was well received by tho majority
Of the sporting men present thouSh
come, losing sight OF Connollys superior
showing I'm the earlier rounds, thought
Murphy entitled 10 the decision on the
last three.
