BILL HEVERON
OUT IN ONE
ROUND
From British Isles
a Juicy Lemon for
O'Brien to Cut.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-Whoever
discovered Bill Heveron?
The rankest counterfeit ever sprung on
a suffering istic public was certainly UNI
covered last night, when the man from
England was pitted against Jack 0'Brlen,
in the latter's coming out at the In

in the first round, and then after going
down four times within that sweet and
short time he was counted out While the
crowd gasped in mute amazement.
1t was a great night for O'Brien. The
house was packed to the door, he was
given q rousing reception when be en-
tered the ring, which, OF course, brought
forth a little speech, and then he walked
right up to a lemon, swatted him a few

gloves before 1t must have. been in a dark
room. He hardly knew how to set in
position, let along fight, and then Instead
of letting the public have a run for its
money he Went out SO quickly that the

Jacks phiz.
The n.nglishman. if he ever saw the
shores OF foggy Britain, was built on good
substantial lines, had elegant anchors and
other ditt0s tattooed on his arms and was

running trunks. But that ended his hight

O'Brien, Heveron was ragei hinlselt
from the centre of the ring to the ropes,
where he made a gallant attempt TO hoist
himself TO his feet after. of course, Der

strength then suddenly came back and he
got to his corner in much quicker time
than he did in leaving it to shake hands
with O'Brien before The agony started.
After they shook hands O'Brien did a
few fancy movements, both feet and hands
doing their part, and then made u lunge
at the awkward Englishman, The lunge
was as good as a punch. Heveron tied

lie evidently knew as much as did the
crowd that to get rid Of the evil smell in
for his welfare. He made a right-hand
crack at Heveron, which landed some place
between Bits broad-cut chin and his
wishbone, and the Englishman went to the
floor with great gusto. He took what was
coming to him, numbered to his feet. stag

AXE to the canvas, which he did with
relish.
Nine tolls found him on his broad feet
again and then O'Brien tented long
enough to let the crowd get their breath.
Then there was another rush and once
more Heveron went down. He dragged
himself up before the ten was called on
and then made some sort OF q half foot.
ball and sailor rush at Jack. Just where
O'Brien hit Bill In that scrimmage was
hard TO see, but anyhow Bill went to the

over. for he walked away from the inn
ported lemon while Referee Derlacker
started In to count off that d0leful ten.
Bill was rolling all over himself and the
ring in a brave and heroic effort TO get TO
his feet, but before he managed to reach
the ropes the bout was over and OBrien
was getting a right royal reception fnom
the more enthusiastic spectators, while
others hiked ii to the door with that
lemonized taste in their mouths.
There was no doubt OF the sincerity OF
O'Brien's recention when he entered the
ring. The glad hand was extended in Wig
nrous fashion. which naturally brought
forth a speech from Jack, in which he
stated that he intended TO fight on the
level hereafter. and that II anybody was
10 be the informcr he would be thai party.
Just what was meant by that was not evil
dent. Pity he did NOT tell where HeVeron
was from before. the bout started, He was
readily assigned 70 n Mace after the go was
! over by the ~gold-hricked public.
O'Brien looked good enough and appar-
emily did not show any signs of his alb
sence from the ring, but as far as getting
a line on his real strength and ability tho
bout did afford the least kipd Of an op-
portunity. 1t will take another lemon to
do that.
