HAGAN BEATS JONES.

Wilmington, Del. March 23.-Joe Hagan of Philadelphia bested Harry Jones, also of Philadelphia, in. a six round fight before the Wilmington Ath- letic club last night. It was terrific throughout and both men bled freely. In the second round Jones landed Oh Hagan's nose, and the latter went down in heap.
 He was almost out, but recovered, and had all the better of the next four rounds. Hagan punched his op. ponent at will, and so well did he turn the tables that the bell at the end of the sixth round was all that savec Jones from a knockout.
