THE PUGILISTS WAITED FROM
 THE RINCSIDE Fight in Philadelphia Ended in the Second = Nolan and Nelson
 Playing Foxy.

Philadelphia, June l5-Fred Bradley of Boston was defeated here last night in short order, his con queror being Jimmy Barry of Chi cago. The men met in the wind-up at the Spring Garden A. O., and Bradley's seconds threw up the sponge when the gong rang for the second round to begin. The first round was lively one. They lost no time in mixing it up and hammered away at each other fiercely. In hard exchange Barry staggered Bradley with a right swing hard and clinched repeatedly to save himself. z,
 Finally Barry stretched Bradley on the mat with another right swing on the jaw. At the count of seven the bell rang and Bradley was car ried to his corner. He was in such bad condition at the end of the min ute's rest that his seconds gave up the. bout.
 Billy Nolan had Battler Nelson, who is in Los Angeles, on the phone yesterday and instructed him not to start on a projected fishing trip as he contemplated, because, he said, he expected within few days to learn definitely about the date of the proposed meeting with Jimmie Britt.
 r What Nolan really meant was that the July license would be allotted within few days. Deep in his heart he knows now whether or not he will permit Nelson to fight as early as July 3.
 Reports from Britt's training quarters have evidently set Nolan thinking hard
 Jimmy is reported training like in days of old, working like a Trojan cutting down weight and tuning up muscles. He's about fit now, it is said, to give Nelson tough battle. His one ambition in life, he says, Is to take the Battlers measure in a San Francisco ring, where he lost his laurels to him.
 If rumors Altering over the Mojave desert from Los Angeles are to be believed. Nelson is hog fat" and in no condition to fight, hence it is probable these former champions will not battle as early as July 8.
 A message from Los Angeles last night said: Nelson looked serious after bis talk over the phone with his manager"
 Maybe he heard of Britt's close at- tention to his knitting.
 There is keen interest, in Broad way especially, in the coming battle between Joe Rogers, who has been dubbed From O'Rourke's Giant" and the "Yale Graduate Mystery" sailing under the name of J. c. Kel- ly. It is not improbable that a com ing heavyweight champion will be in the victor's corner. as both men are known to be striving for cham pionship honors. and the battle will decide which shall challenge the winner of the Squires-Burns fight.
 Actor folk have little spare time on their hands just now and many of them are figuring on being at the ringside at the National Sporting club of America. 725 Sixth avenue, on Monday night, when the gloved gladiators clash.
 Kelly, the Yale graduate, who &C., knowledges that Kelly is not his name, is out for the laurels only, as he Is we'll fixed financially. it is said: but aspires to the heavyweight cham pionship of the world and has taken this method of going after it.
 A delegation of Yale graduates will be at the ringside.
 Johnny Summers, the English pugilist. who is training at New Dorp. Staten Island, for his battle with Voting Erne before the Nation al A. C., Philadelphia, ,>is said to. be in better condition than when he met Tommy Murphy. He talks con fidently about putting Erne away in less than three rounds.
