Tommy Ryan, middleweight champion
jabbed Jack Beauscholte, of Chicago, so
severely in their contest at the Auditorium
polo rink last night that Referee Ryan
stopped the bout in the sixth round and
awarded the decision TO Ryan. More hard
blows were delivered in the battle than in
any contest ever witnessed in this city,
and but for Beauscholtes wonderful game
ness Ryan could have stopped him in one
of the earlier rounds. Beauscholte was sent
to the floor several times, but so eager
was he to try to even matters that he was
up before the referee could count four or
five. The gong saved him in the fifth
round and on two other occasions he stayed
down for a rest until Referee Ryan had
counted eight.
The boxing of Ryan was so fast and of
such a character that his less skilled OPP
ponent appeared like novice at the game.
In the first two rounds Beauscholte coun-
tered on Ryan and the crowd cheered him.
but when Ryan began pecking away at
Beauscholtes face in the third round the
crowd soon realized that it was only
question of few rounds until the cham
pion would wear his man out. Ryan's
gloved NIT was in the Chicago mans face
at frequent intervals. Little short-arm
jabs, in which his fist did not travel more
than four or five inches, but which carried
terrible force, worried BeauScholte and he
soon showed the effects of the continual
jabbing he received, Beauscholte boXeo
hard, and in a few of the mixes near the
ropes would get in good Wallop on the
champion, but most OF his swings went
wild because Ryan covered himself get
out OF harms way. The boxing on Ryan
part was the clevereSt and most scientific
that has ever been witnessed in this city,
and those who had never seen him in ac-
ton before realized why he is acknowl-
edged as the middleweight champion.
Ryan was always cool and deliberate
even when Beauscholte was rushing him in
the first two rounds. He gagged his dis
tance perfectly and showed he knew where
to hit, how TO hit and when to hit. In the
first round he slipped TO the floor in back
ing away from a rush and few of the
spectators thought he had been dumped by
his opponent. In the second round he went
to the floor as a result or coming in con-
tact with a terrific right hand jab, but he
was uninjured. When the spectators began
cheering Beauscholte, the champion
the second round Beauscholte never had q
look in. In the third round, Ryan teased
him and just before the gong sent him to
the canvas. Beauscholte was down twice
In the fourth, the last time from a straight
right jab in the mouth, which loosened his
teeth and a gold tooth dropped from his
mouth to the floor. Ryan increased his
speed IN the 01tn ana Wne0 BeduScnOlte
showed weakness, Sig Hart, his manager
and second, threw a towel into the ring,
but the referee gave Beauscholte another
chance. Beauscholte was weak in the sixth
and after being sent to his knees, Referee
Ryan stopped the bout.
Ryan was seconded by Hugo Kelly, the
Western middleweight champion, who de-
feated Twin" Sullivan in Chicago on Tues
day night Russell and Allen were also in
his corner Beauscholte was seconded by
Sig Hart and George Koerner and Jack
Cullen were in his corner Kelly was in
troduced to the crowd and the announce
ment was made that the club is trying to
arrange a match for him against a good
The semi-windup between Freddie Cole
and Jack DAILY ended in the second round.
The first round was lightning fast with
Cole having shade. In the second round
Daily struck Cole very low and he was
warned. DAILY soon repeated the trick and
after being warned again. he landed a left
jab very low and the referee gave the bout
TO Cole on a foul. Cole had the better of
the bout up to that time.
The preliminarieS were very fast. Dalton
and Parsons went to a draw and the bout
between Stiles and Adams was interesting.
