and punk were scarce. and the pin wheeis
refused to revolve with any great reguiari-

playmates. who had the hose turned on the

Washlngtons put the wood to Hogg anu

avoid the disgrace of a shutout.
For all the poor showing before typical

hilltoppers could not bat for the simple and
sufficient reason that young Mr.. Patten.

went on the young Washingtonian swung
his left harder and harder, and tilted his
nose higher and higher.

WITH TWIN SULLIVAN

SKAGWAY, Alaska, July 22.-'PhfI-

C'rwin"D Sullivan have been matched
to engage in another twenty round
bout here on August s.
They fought at Dawson city on the
night Of the Fourth OF July. After a
fierce twenty-round encounter the ref
cree declared the contest draw.
O'Brien had all the best OF the bout,
but as Sullivan would not consent to
fight unless the decision be a draw. if
both men were on their feet, O'Brien
had to give in or there would have
been no fight.
O'Brien knocked Sullivan down eight
times during the battle. The bell
saved him from being counted out on
three different occasions. The Phfla-
delphian came out of the battle with
out a mark, while Sullivan was badly
beaten up. The men fought for a
guaranteed purse Of $4,000, with the
privilege OF taking so per cent of the
