FIERCE 15-RoUND BATTLE.
Prize Fight in New York's Financial
District.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK April 6-Right in the heart
of the financial district this afternoon half
hundred brokers and business men
watched a slashing fifteen-rOund battle be-
tween Emergency Kelly Of Boston and
Willie Mango, local lightweight. who
has been rapidly climbing into the top
class at local bouts
The fight was held in a loft of a new
building the windows of which looked
down on thronged streets and patrolling
policemen. From the roof of the building
a stone could be tossed to an adjacent
police station The fifty spectators of the
fight paid an admission fee of S. each.
They arrived at the scene Of the contest In
groups of three and four so as not to
attract attention. Elaborate preparation
had been made, considering the precau-
tons necessary to avoid police observation.
A twenty-four foot ring was roped on
near the window that there would be
plenty of light. Chairs for the spectators
were around the ring, the rear chairs being
raised on an extemporized platform. Al
Lippe negotiated muffied gong and there
were two seconds to each fighter and
referee, who is well known In sporting
circles.
Kelly and Mango stepped into the ring,
both looking fit to go the distance at a
fast pace. They fought at 40 pounds,
under straight Queensberry rules. and
there was no side-stepping soldering
at any stage of the battle. The two
youngsters flew at each other like game
cocks in the first round and their arms
never stopped. Both were quick on their
feet as sparring cats, and there was
scarcely any mitigating until the third
round.
The boys fought at terrific gait for
ten rounds.
The eleventh round found Kelly still
strong and game, Notwithstanding the
punishment he had absorbed He seemed
to have the better of this round, but In the
next course Mango delivered a slashing
blow over the right eye that inflicted a
deep cash.
After that it was all Mango, with the
boston boy gamely standing up to ter
rife pounding. He stuck it out with a
marvellous display of stamina. and the
referee awarded the decision to the New
Yorker

ers, was one of those successful coups
that everybody hears about. Few hear
about the almost innumerable other care
fully framed-up killings that fail to go
through. When a really immense operation
is put under. as, for instance, when Dave
Gideon pounded the Morris Park ring and
the western pool rooms for fully $2oJ,voJ
on his filly Josepha few years back, all
hands heard or read about the thing, and
such happenings, widely broadcasted, make
hundreds and even thousands of recruits

look inviting and easy, and the fresh money
of the people who are fascinated by the
accounts of the great killings drifts to the
bookmakers satchels.

a man born in 1870 to get total disability

1t was in the old days, when the owner of
an improved horse that had been held in
reserve for coup could lead The beast out
on the track, give him a slap on the haunch,
tell the jockey to fetch him along home b!

and collect an armful of money.
Nowadays any one of a thousand things
can happen to tiatten beautifully prepared

ralbirds, in the first place. have got the
killings pretty nigh coppered. Nothing gets
away from them on any track from dawns

leak, the battle between the players and
the layers has now reached such an acute
stage that the boys with the states begin
to rub the minute man whose face they
know starts to make the rounds any
horse with price cSalked up against him.
Not only this. but the most foolish lit
tie mishap can utterly destroy all posi-
bility of pulling off killing that has been
shrewdly and skillfully planned and work

and he is sure death on the most difficult

The Boston American League team has
been most fortunate indeed in the acquis-

Manager CantiIlon has better array with

The Slip-Up on Maxine.

Just to give out a few examples. A few
years ago that fine mare, Fleur -de-Lys,
was brought east after a tremendously
successful campaign on the California
tracks. She was fetched here for a killing
There were far fewer raibirds then than
there are now. and none of them caught
the mares impressive workouts. The mare
was pitchforked, with nothing worth men,
tionng the way of weight on her back
into an overnight handicap with a lot of
swagger horses. which made fine price
against her a certainty. Her people de-
signed to blister the big pool rooms
throughout the country on the win, and so
they sent their commissioners to various
points with the money couple Of days
before the race was due.
Now. short time before the day Of the
contemplated watermelon cutting, the own
er of the mare got permission, for some
reason or other. to change her name from
Fleur-deLys to Maxine. The commission
with the big coin to bet on Fleur-de-Lys
didn't know anything about the switch Of
her name to Maxine.
And, fatefuliy enough. 1t happened that
