The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-09-03

ner they agreed to fight an extra
round They did so but matters were
no simpler at the end OF that round
than at the end of any of the others
so the contest was declared a draw
The boys put up n game fight, several
knockdowns being scored on either
side. David landed the most times
but the blows of Barry counted the
most when they did land. The fans
would like to see the two fight it out
at some future date
After considerable delay the main
event was put on. Both men weighed
below the required weight Sullivan
just tipped the scales at las and Welsh
was about AS. Sullivan appeared first
dressed in pink tights and soon after
Welsh appeared. Both men were greet
heartily when they stepped into the
ring as was also Referee Billy Woods
The men posed for some flashlight pic
lures and then after Manager Adams
had announced to the crowd that Sher-
if Brown had carried all of the dele
gate elections, the big fight was on.
The men did not shake hands at the
beginning of the contest as they had
done so a few moments before when
Welsh first entered the ring They
started right in each sparring for an
opening. Sullivan lands on Welsh's
nose with his left and then Welsh
clinched. AS the men had agreed to
fight under straight Marquis of Queens
berry rules and to protect themselves
at all times, some pretty mitigating
was seen. Sullivan seemed to have the
better Of the argument both at in
fighting and at distance. He was a
faster man than Welsh and that made
all of the difference
In the third round Welsh landed on
Sullivan and gained his only advantage
during the fight. The remainder of the
time he took punishment and came UP
each time seemingly as fresh as ever
Sullivan was not worried at all during
the fight and was smiling for the
greater part of the time
The end came i'm the eighth. Sullivan
started his opponents nose and mouth
to bleeding and then dazed him by a
right to the jaw. He followed him up
and was still trying to floor his man
when Referee Woods very properly
stopped the fight and pointed out Sui
Ivan as the winner. 1t was then that
the crowd got to it's feet and yelled
theoir appreciation. Many crowded
around the winner and many around
the defeated Welsh for he had won a
place in the hearts of the fight fans
of Honolulu by ris game fight.
Welsh said directly after the fight:
mo, have nothing to say. I am sat
isfied with the decs-..n. / met a bet
ter man and I was defeated I am not
the man that I was once and Sullivan
was too quick and too strong. I fought
as well as could and hope the crowd
is satisfied and do not think that
faxed"
Sullivan said: "Of course I went in
to the ring expecting to win, but I did
not receive the punishment that I ex-
pected. I thought never would knock
that man out for he came back so
fresh each time. He put up a good
fight and think that may say with
out boasting that it was sped and
strength duet youthfulness that won
for me-"
The Zoo management are to be con-
graduated for the way in which they
handled the large crowd. Everything
at the Zoo, as usual, was done with an
eye to the comfort of it's guests. The
car service was ample and splendidly
conducted. The fans would like to see
another battle like last Saturday
nights at the Zoo. All concerned with
1t should feel proud of the result.
