San Francisco, Aug 26.-Like the
veriest amateur in the prize ring.
Jack Munroe, of Butt. Mont. went
down and out before Champion James
Jefffies tonight In the second round.
The man from the mining district
made such an extremely sorry show
ing that the great throng roundly
hooted him as he protested to Re-
fierce Graney agaist the decision that
had been given in favor of Jeffries.
The two giants had not been In the
ring two minutes when 1t was fore
seen that the aspirations of Munroe
would be quickly disposed Of.
Munroe Was Scared.
The miner was scared and awkward
and Jeffries in. the first. round had
him twice on the canvas taking the
count. Jeffries directed his bonn
bardment against HIS opponents stom-
ach and each shot was followed by
blow on the jaw that sent Munroe
10 his knees. Jeffries went back to
his corner after the opening round
with a sneer and a laugh on his
swarthy face, while Munroe's seconds
busted themselves with applying smell
ling salts and restoratives
When the two came together for the
second round the laugh on the Cham
plon's visage changed to a look Of
determination that boded i'll to the
miner. Forty-five seconds after the
gong sounded Munroe was lying on
the floor, bloody bruised mass of
humanity with Jeffries standing over
him ready. If necessary, to put quiet
us on the championship ambitions of
his adversary. The miner was too
dazed to rise and the timekeepers
counted him out, but the husky man
from Southern California did not un
derstand that the victory was already
his, nor could Munroe realize that his
plgilistic star had so early set. and
the two men in a moment or two were
facing one another and Jeffries land
Ell a terrific blow on the jaw of his |
staggering opponent. II was at this
time that Graney came forward ,and |
ordered Jeffries away, telling him the |
fight was ended in his favor. Munroe |
tottered to his. corner with blood |
streaming from his face and fell into |
his chair dazed and helpless. His sec
0nds Immediately began working on
him to freshen him and when he came
10 a realization that the fight ha,
gone against him he arose and goinl |
over to Graney, began to protest
The crowd understood from his pro
testing. gesticulations. etc, that ths
purport of his talk to Graney was
remonstrance and mighty volume @
ieering and kissing evidenced the sen
iiment of spectators. many of whom
had placed money on the miner tha'
he would stay at least double the mum
Der of rounds before the champion
that he did
Quick Work for Jeffries.
From the time that the bell rams
for the commencement of the battle
The fight demonstrated If nothing else
been uttered against Munroe only
four minutes and IS seconds elapsed.
Fight demonstrated, II nothing else
that the world has yet TO produce
pugilist. who Will displace Jeffries as
champion. The estimate of the mum
Der In attendance ranges all the way /.
from 100 to 800 and 1t is believed
hat the gate receipts will approx
mate s35,00o.
Miners Showing Disappointment.
The miners showing was a disap
Dointment to those who had conf
ience that he would at least repeat
n some degree his performance in
Butte, when Jeffries failed to put him
