A boxing product from the Old
World in the person Of Jack McLaugh-
lin of London bowed to the fight fans
of this city for the first time at Wood
wards Pavilion last night and, al
though his initial attempt ended In de-
feat, he showed he could go enough TO
make many Of our natives sidestep.
Mclaughlin was pitted against the
hard-hitting Joe Thomas. The bout
went the limit of four rounds and most
of the fans thought Mclaughlin should
have left the house with the heavier
portion of the sack.

with both men boxing cautiously and
doing but little mixing. Mclaughlin
commenced to put on steam in the Sec
ond spasm, especially when Thomas
came at him with a lead. The British
er sent in those choppy boys with good
effect and Thomas was dazed for a
time. Thomas had the third to his lik-
ing and nearly finished the English
lad.
BRITISH BOXER AGGRESSIVE.
Mclaughlin made a final stand in
the fourth period and came near get
ting Thomas a couple of times. For
the first time during the bout the Brit
isher assumed the aggressive. A min
ute before the bout ended he sent in
left after left and the crowd pulled for

the bell changed. Both judges agreed
on Thomas as the winner, though the
spectators were not at all pleased.
Lew Powell was far and away bet
ter man than Gus Salisbury in the last
event on the programme. Salisbury
barely escaped the knockout penalty.
Powell was the aggressor in every
round save the first and worried Sails
bury by shooting in hard lefts and fol-
rights. Salisbury went to the floor in
the third from right on the jaw and
Powell came within an ace of ending
the battle there.
Salisbury started in by jabbing Pow
ell all around the ring in the first
round. The latter was worried, but
came at his man with a rush when the
next period opened and from that time
on there was not thing to it. Sails
bury could not mix and when Powell
got him in the tight places the former
seemed ready to go to the carpet at
any moment.
TENNY FINISHES MURRAY.
Young Dempsey and George San
franson put up the best mill of the
night. 1t was slug and fight from the
sound of the bell, with both men wad--
ing in and fighting for fair. The de-
cision was as close as am ever handed
out at an amateur contest, Dempsey
receiving the verdict amid the cheers
and jeers of the assembled hosts.
Bob Cairns brought couple over on.

Harry Tenny finished Jack Murray

rays cleverness counted for naught
when the South Side Slugger got under
way and an avalanche of rights and

up.
Pete Sullivan and Joe Ward started
to fight. but Ward quit in round and
the judges ordered another go. Tan
glefoot' McGovern and Jim Bradley
went to it and Bradley got the decision.
Al Elkins had little trouble in out
pointing Bob Ritchse in their mix-up.
