BOXING.

The amateur boxing show at the Mil
waukce Athletic club Saturday evening
was well attended and was one of the
most successful shows of the season.
The bouts were run off well and there
was enough fast work to please all. In
some of the bouts the work was so fast
that it brought the spectators to their
feet; even Wilmer Scg the eX-president
getting up and bowling good boy Mike.
The decisions of the judges-Coughln
and Mullcn-were good throughout. The
star of the night was Fred Andrews, the
clever little 100 FOUNDER from the Third
ward. He beat Eddie Eritschie in II
canter. Andrews is coming along nicely
but he wants to keep away from game
like Fitzgerald until he knows more
about the game, although some of his
friends are already talking big matches
for him. The boy is good, but he can
easily be spoiled through i'll advice. The
most exciting bout was between Louis
Schultz, who defeated William Schram
after it appeared That Schran had
Schultz beat and almost out. Walter
Bauman showed good and beat John
Wienaud fter two terrific rounds The
