auspices of the Augusta Social and
Athletic Club, saw Terry Martin of
Philadelphia win from Peter Sullivan
Of Fall River last evening, in the sixth
Of what was TO have been a 15-rOund
bout, and win so decisively that there
was not the least doubt left as to the
relative ability of the two men. 1t
was somewhat of n disappointment to
many, as after the handy manner in
which the Fai. River lad disposed OF
Arthur Cote some weeks ago, 1t was
expected that last nights battle would
be one of the best.
1t was apparent early in the bout
what the final result would be. for the
first round was yet young when Terry
sent straight jCt to Sullivan's chin
that lifteI rim from his feet and sent
him spra Wing to- the mat. sullivan
came up quickly and went at his man.
but his blows seemed 10 lack steam,
and the round as clearly Martins.
In the second Sullivan was sent to
the mat again and ttyk the count. but

The main feature Of the evening was
,,recfded bv some good prcliminarieS
which furnished pleEtv of entertain
ment for the audience. AS AN opening
numbe, Russell Weymouth gave an eX-
which he showed himself well skilled
in the manipulation of the CLUBS aild
was accorded generous applause.
He WAS followed by Charli" ruler
and Tommy Lynch. two ambitious
youngsters. who jabbed and wailoped
for two three minute rounds. much o.
the amusement of the audience.
The next attraction on the cart WAS
"a fiye-round bout between Bobby fooi
of Brockton and Billy Hart OF Gardi- :
ner. and it was a warm one. iaf'
was heavier than his opponent, ana
went at him i'm the first round as II
he intended to rush him through the
ropes and out Of the hall. but he ull-
derestimated his man. and before inc
end of the bout Bobby WAS beating q
tattoo all over him, and was given th'
decision. Good is fast coming I" th'
front as a shifty and aggressive boxer
and If he keeps the pace that h" Is
now following il will soon take some
of the best of his class to stop him.
For semi-final Albert Ferran oi
this city and Clarence Mcclellan oi
Waterville were to go six rounds. nut
the Watervile lad fouled in the sec
ond, and the bout was given to Ferrah
But II was a warm one while 1t lasted
