II has recently been explained on high
authority that the reason that the Vat

Catholics. and against these the ex-

KNOCKED OUT Al NELL.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-Al Neill
was knocked out at the Sequoia Club,
Oakland. last night after two minutes
OF fighting with Dixie Kid, the col
ored boy from Los Angeles. NELL
might as well have been a bag OF
beans for all the showing he made.
The fighting game is apparently not
for him any more.
The colored man opened the battle
at once and In a minute drove Neill
to the ropes with a couple of smashes
to the head and body. Another pair
of swings drove Neill again to tho
ropes. The white man got out from
under and backed across the ring only
to be hurt with body smashes that sent
him to the floor. He stayed down nine
seconds and got himself together long
cough to withstand bunch more Of
driving rights and lefts. One ter
rife left to the stomach was followed
ly pair of drives that ended the fight
and settled Neill as lighting man.
The first blow landed by the kid" set
tied the fight. Neill appeared out OF
condition. He was drawn, hagga. ID
and lean.
