THE PUGlLlS
THE KNOCK OUT
Boxers Put Out, Allowed to Re cover Continue Again Only to
 Go Over Once More.

New York, Feb 23.-Young Dono1 hue, formerly Battling Nelson's spar ring partner. boxed three rounds with Eddie Wallace in the star bout at the stag of the Long Acre A. G.. in West Twenty-ninth street. last night. Don ohue outweighed Wallace by fully nf- teen pounds. but the latter put up good bout DonOhue did all the fore ing, and he would have been entitled to the decision had one been rendered.
 Alex Dunsheath and Bert Reyes went on for three rounds, and in each round Reyes knocked his man out. The first knockout occurred after one min ute of fighting in the first round. The bell was sounded and Dunsheath was given a rest. He thought his defeat was due to a chance blow, and insisted upon continuing. After twenty-five seconds of boxing in the second round Reyes again got his right over. and Alex went to sleep again. Just to prove that 1t was not an accident Reyes took Dunsheath on for the third round. and again put him out in twen- ty-fiye seconds.
 Young Sharkey was another who took three knockouts in as many rounds He was put out in each round of his bout with Ownle Flynn. The latter outclassed Sharkey, having both height and reach. and he took advan- tage of each.
 In the other bouts Jimmy Murtha Knocked out Artie Duke, Kid Black and Jack Ramon boxed a draw, Jack Lowery beat Kid Abel. Austin Rice outpointed Artie Edmonds. Jack Dur ane won from Lew Ryall, and the 5out between Dave Henessy and Tim .O'Brien was stopped by the referee be cause the boys were afraid to box dili- gently.

WRESTLING
SOME CLEVER WORK
Ed O Cornell Proves His Superiority Over Kid Kehoe Other Mat
 ches May Result.

Packed to the doors was the little Simonsville Athletic club rooms last evening to witness the contests al vertised by Manager Joe Lawlor. The same story that has been told oe all the matches that have taken place down there can be repeated to-day anu that is that they were successful and exciting. Ed O'Connell of New Haven was on hand with following of back CTS that made the sports open their eyes in wonderment. Hundreds of dollars were ready to be wagered or the New Haven boy against Kid ke- hoe but the packers of Kehoe, know ing the cleverness of the Yale instruc- tor, placed but few of their dollars. The betting started at eyens but be- fore the match had progressed very far odds of three to one were given on O'Connell and the confidence of this chaps admirers was not mis- placed for O'Connell wrestled as he never wrestled before in this city. He was heavier than in any of his | former matches for he is building himself up to meet the heavy wrest- Ter Madden in Hartford on Monday evening. Before the men came on the mat many of the sports felt that they were going to get another cold deal for O'Connell wanted the winner of the match to take everything. Kehoe | and his friends held out for the divis- | ion of the purse according to the articles of agreement, which were to govern the Kehoe and Kelly match. namelys sseventy-five and twenty-five per cent. O'Connell finally yielded graciously to this proviso and the | match went on.
 | O'Connell at once became the az gressor and soon had kehoe beneath when grueling began which made the OConnell and Cnaki match look like child's play. Kehoe fought back gamely, escaping time after time from hammerlocks, half Nelsons and leg holds. O'ConnelI never let up sec. ond but jumped for another grip the moment one hold was lost or broken At the end of thirty-five minutes he threw Kehoe into a dangerous posi- tion with half Nelson and then lock ing his other arm with his leg inc slowly forced Kehoe to the mat Ke hoe struggled with all his strength to get away but it was impossible tc break the hold and in thirty-five min utes O'Connell had secured the first fall.
 The second meeting lasted but a short time for Kehoe realized that he was up against his master and the
 grueling be received in the first mee had weakened him. In two minutes a full Nelson had been secured os him and the plucky New Yorker went down to defeat
 ssfp f e to .,s the nenesl, esht In the preliminary young Blondin me Tartar in young Robillard and while the latter was defeated in two straight falls Blondin was kept guessing fol a few minutes. The two falls were won in five minutes and fifteen min utes respectively.

KELLY AFTER KEHOE.

John E. Kelly called at the Demo- crat office today and stated that he would meet Kehoe or his packers this evening in this office at 7:30 sharp and post a forfeit to wrestle kehoe when ever the latter was at liberty. Kelly says he will be all right within two weeks and be would like to make the match just as soon as possible. Kehoe stated last night after his defeat by O'Connell that he would be willing to meet Kelly. He recognized the fact that O'Connell was his master and rated him as the best man of his weight in the world He said. how ever, that Kelly would have to show him where he could beast him. and he talked as if anxious fo make match right away. If that Is SO the meeting tonight should develop something.

PLrNKErT NOT TO BLAME.

Very many people blame Plunkett for hurting Kelly in his preliminary training for his match with Kehoe, but as the facts now develop no one was really to blame for that accident. Plunkett had secured hammerlock and Kelly went about breaking it. as he has on many occasions with his trainers. Plunkett had secured such a firm hold of the arm that when Kelly gave the jerk to get away the result was disastrous to him. IL was an un- fortunate thing which might happen to any wrestler and there should be no fault found with either of the men.

cry precaution to protect his prisoner.
