NEARY KNOCKS OUT FARMER;
NEEDED BUT THREE ROUNDS
Farmer Had Been the Aggressor and
the End Coming As Soon As it Did
Was Quite Unexpected.

Davenport, Iowa, Dec. 11.-Charley
Neary of Milwaukee knocked out
Young Kid Farmer of Peoria in the
third round of the scheduled fifteen
round go before the Davenport Ath-
letic club here tonight
A left to the stomach sent Farmer
down for the count of nine, and when
he arose and started mixing it, Neary
sent him down and out with short
right jab to the jaw. Up to this time
Farmer had been the aggressor ana
the ending was unexpected.
The Peoria fighter used the tactics
of jumping around the ring and he
punched Neary at viii in the opening
rounds Neary kept coming, however,
and with the bulldog tenacity that
gave him his reputation kept follow
ing Farmer at every turn
In the third Farmer fought wildly
and two stiff punches did the work
Joe Coffey of Chicago refereed.
Kid Taylor of Chicago and Eddie
TOY of Milwaukee fought ten fast, hard
rounds to draw in the semi wlndup
