BRUTAL GO
 IN NEW YORK
'.Jabber" Tom Carry and A Big Fellow Named Mullen Have a Bloody Fight Other Fight News

lightweight division, esSayed to knock out d longshoreman by the name oi Joe Mullen in q saloon in New York yesterday afternoon. and although he accomplished the feat in the eleventh round of a twenty round mill, he got one of tue most vicious beatings of his career on the way.
 But the real fighting started after Mullen had been knocked out One Spike Robinson. who apparently ob jectcd to the decision of the referee Danny Duane, smashed a bottle that he was tired of holding over the head of Chris O'Brien. to which Charley Sicger, the Hoboken Dago, took vio, lent exception.
 The latter grappled with Spike. and the 1oO spectators at once took sides with the different factions and created a few new ones, and battle royal on sued.
 Everybody soaked everybody else, or tried to. and when it is remarked toned, Chick Tucker. Mike Harris, Dick Anderson and Kid Murphy were in the crowd. it may readily be seen that the wallops were mostly the real thing @
 From the most authentic accounts Obtainable when the typhoon subsided. the trouble originally started last Thursday. when Jabber Tom Carey was drinking with a friend and started tu tell the audience how good fighter he was.
 Among the leancrS on that particular bar at the time was Mullen. about the size of Peter Maher, and just as thick, mentally. Also like Maher. he had q man with him shared the delusion, be. cause he offered to bet Carcy's friend S1O0 that Mullen could put out Carey inside of five rounds. He was nearly swept away by the rush of accept anceS.
 The test was pulled off ill Il saloon on the corner of Eighty-second street and Second avenue. There was no ring, but the room was fairly large. and the lJO spectators who were al lowed in did not crowd the place much. They sat around the floor. chairs and tables. and ill the center of this Carey and Mullen fought.
 Prize fight history does not record Il more brutal or bloody battle.
 Carey held Mullen too chgaply, for in the very first round the longsore man landed welt on the Jabbcr's ear that split that member open and start. cd a river of gore as the commence lnent of the slaughter.
 Before Carey came fully to he was sent sprawlng to the floor by ter rife right swing. By hard clinchinS he lasted out the round.
 After taking q few more weltS of the same kind in the second round Carey started his well known jabbins tactics and soon took the upper hand for Il few rounds. He knocked Mullen down four times in the second Found and several times more in the third, fourth and fifth.
 But all this time Mullen was fighting hack like q mad bull. and he had Carey bleeding almost as much as he was Both the brutes were dyed q rich red from head to foot. as were many Oi the spectators who had ground seats.
 But ill the sixth round Mullen start. c1 in at Il clip that threw a scare into ihc Carey roOters. A left soak sent Tom down for eight seconds. X right did the trick again.
 Then an awful smash in the wind made tho Jabber take the count of nine. and just before time ended the round he was knocked down for the fourth time with a right on the jaw.
 II looked all Mullen then. but Carey rallied. and from then till the finish he showed all to the good.
 He upset Mullen q nuWbcr of times before the eleventh. and in the middle or the last round. while the Ionyshore- nIan was very wobbly. Carey caught him pile-driver right swing just cver the nose that sent Mullen sailing over the spectators into the wall of the buil1ing dead to the world for the time being.
 That was unfortunate for Mullen. for just at that time started one of the srandest battle royals on record. which would no doubt have pleased MT Null len greatly to have had hand in.
