San francisco, March 1.--Frankfe Neil demon
strated in fourteen rounds last night that he was
Harry Tennys master and entitled to the claim
of bantamweight of America. He fought
one of the best battles that has been seen here.
Perhaps it largely due to the fact that he
go greatly outclassed his opponent. From the
first to last, with the exception Of possibly two
rounds, he had clean lead over his opponent.
Tenny gave the spectators surprise in the
seventh by knocking frankie to his knees. but
this was only flash, for at the end of the round
Neil had steadied himself and was raining blows
en- his man. Neil started lump on Tenny's
right eye in the fourth round and continued to
hammer that side Of his face until a lump
formed large as birds egg. He also had
Tenny bleeding from nose and mouth and gen
orally made Tenny look cheap as boxer.
Tenny game to the. core, and only gave
up under most terrific hammmering in the
fourteenth round At the end of the thirteenth
Tenny went to his corner after terrible mixup,
shaking his head as If to say: "It's use''
Neil evidently saw the condition his opponent
was in, for he started after him viciously at the
opening OF the fourteenth, and after sending him
to the mat with terrific uppercuts to the body
| and forcing him around the ring, beat him down
! in corner, where Tenny fell exhausted Tenny
was completely out and collapsed In his corner
when carried there. He was badly beaten man,
| while Neil stepped out of the ring without show
| ing hardly mark from the encounter.
