 SON OUT.
Two Hundred and Fifty People Wit Fast Preliminaries and a Clean Fast Preiimi-eraies ard a Clean Knock Out in Main Event.

While Referee Hall counted ten. Jack Benson, the favorite with a large circle of Bisbee sports, crawled toward the ropes in the prize ring at Cananea Sunday night, in an effort to pull him self to his feet, failed, and sank back on the floor a defeated pugilist. Me Clung jumped back, after delivering the knock out, and watched his adver- sary take the count. while bedlam broke loose around the ringside. The knock out came in the second. The first round had been fast and fu- rious. and at the fast clip set in the beginning the fight could not have lasted beyond six rounds, although billed for a twenty-five round bout. The first round was decidedly in Ben sons favor, although the Kid got in a stiff punch towards the close that staggered the boy from Bisbee. Ben
 son forced the fighting at the start, and landed time and again with a sharp uppercut that made the crouching McClung more cautious. 1t was the fastest going seen by local sports in th's section. There was repeated
 clirches whom blows fell like trip hammers. aud the rzferee appeared
 paweriess to force a breakaway There were rushes and counter rush
 es. with sparrinz tactics thrown to the winds. McClung crouched and came uD underneath Eenson's guard with repeated regularity, but both men went to their corners at end of the first round in good condition, and he two hundred and fifty spectators settled down in theic seats for the .secocd round with every indication that the heht would be good for at least six rounds. and possibly ten.
 Benson rushed and 8IcClung side. stepped. They ciashed again and Iclinehed- McClung got one arm free, and from his crouching position put Ian the force at his command of arm and body into a short arm, left,hand- cd !ab to the jaw.

He never reached the side of the ring. and vas counted out as 1is seconds reach. ed him and bore him back to his cor. ner. while the victor was lifted to the shoulders of his admirers and carried around the ring.
 Tn brief. it was fast and furioyr while 1t lasted, wirA no marked .d 1 vantage until the viciC,as n,ncb o, | the right spot in the seeand round | and the Benson money was i1 tbo fire. It was a dirty fight, witb | clinches and hammer and tong tacecs and for a clean cut exhibition, tR, preliminaries were entitled to the first place. The principals in the main event were after the money. and apparently there was no love lost be- tween them.
 The first preliminaries were be- tween Martinez and Montague, two Mexican lads from Cananea. who went four rounds with as pretty an exhibi- l ton of boxing as seen anywhere. l The principal preliminary was be- tween Kid" Humber, of Bisbee, and the Pa Kid, Of Cananea, with Jack i McGee as referee. Humber got the de- cision.
