 Philadelphia Jack appeared for the first time in New York vaudeville re- gently at tho concert at Blaney's Lincoln square thcater. and in q weiplly philosophical manner discuss ed various subjects. mainly the ways of fighters. his own fakery. and Irish characteristics. and ended by reciting several stanzas of verse of his own composition. and pathetic at that save the mark

 Well. want to amuse 'em," re- piled the ambitious monOlogist.
 All right. replied the other. I'll tell you what to do. Just wear an evening suit-yOu1I he funny. I've seen Sharkey. RuhIin and Kid Broad in evening clothes, and know.
 This joke got o-Brien his first laugh
 The fighter in his mOnolOsue was unbIushing. and even eager. in mak- ing fests about his fight faking A friend asked him once how Kid Breads face came to be 90 scared and cauIiHowered-
 Oh he didn't fight like I have lots of times O'Brien told him He fought on the level"

THE PUGILISTS
NEW BRITAIN
 BOUTS POOR
The Sports Were Treated to a Few Love Taps Other Fight
 News.

There was everything in conneC- tion with a boxing match at New Britain last night but the wallop. There were the boxers, the seconds the bottle holders, referee, an nouncer, cops swarming at the ring side, and a large hall well filled with hot sports all ready for mill. But the wallop was missing and if any of the boxers got an accidental scratch a little talcum will make it all right again. After the performance a Hartford sport said he was afraid to get on the train to go home as he heard that eXcursionists returning from good-goody shows were in dan ger of railroad accident
 It was announced at the hearing before the authorities there yester- lation of the law by the boxers. This statement was accurate enough, as the boxers did not hit hard enough to violate anything. 1t was thought that there might be something doing when the star bout came on, but when Young Kenney turned flipflops in the twelfth round there was some Young Kenney or an acrobat from Keeney's. The only one in the au- dience who saw a fight was Wine Harry Dobson and he slept through the entire entertainment He had a dream about a slashing go that he saw some years ago. Just when he was seeing the finishing touches to a knockout, some one woke him up and he saw Matty Baldwin and Young Kenney finish their go. He was sorry he woke up.
 The entertainment was given in Billy Hanna's armory and the only excitement of the evening was when part of the Dleachers fell. The first bout was between Johnnie Allen of Philadelphia and Emergency Kelly, from Boston. It was about the best of the evening. Jack Doyle of New York and Dick Grant of Boston gave a love tapping exhibition of eight rounds.
 The wind up between Matty Bald win and Young Kenney was a bur lesque. Kenney was about twel,e pounds overweight and the bout was q farce. Chief Rawlings and Cap tain Grace were at the ringside with a squad of police to preserve order. The announcer, L. D. Garvey, want ed to lick one of the gallery gods who made a sarcastic remark. but there was no blood shed. Ringside seats sold for $1.50.
