EASY FOR M'COORTY
Oshkosh Fighter Trims Jack DUN
gall in Fierce Eight Round
Battle Thursday Night
DUMGALL TAKES PUNISHMENT

Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh fighter
who is regarded as one Of the coming
fighters Of Wisconsin, made his first
appearance in Kenosha last night when
he met and defeated FEJack' Dumgall,
the fast Chicago fighter in the wind-up
Of the show given by the Kenosha
Athletic Club The show brought the
best card of fights seen in Kenosha this
year and the last go between McGoorty
and Dumgall was one to arouse en-
thusiasm among the fans. McGoorty
had the fight won all the way through,
but Dumgall managed to stand up for
the eight rounds. He took punishment
enough to put out almost any fighter
but at the end Of the bout while de-
cidedly worsted he was able to stand
on his feet. There was never time
that McGoorty did not have the best
of the fight and several times it looked
certain that Dumgall would not be able
to answer the call of the bell but he
showed pluck and ring generalship and
managed to keep away from the Osh-
kosh man when it looked as if he would
certainly land a knock out blow. The
Kenosha fans were all favorable to
McGoorty and the decision of the
referee was we'll received.
The preliminary bouts were also fast.
In the first bout Johnny Gardner of
Milwaukee met Kid Peters of Chicago,
but the Kid was no match for the Mil
-waukee fighter and he was permanently
stopped at the end of the fourth round
with punch on the jaw In the semi
windup Young Fitzgerald of Milwau-
kee and Young Prox Of Chicago mixed
lit up for six rounds Of decidedly fast
milling and both Of the boys were lucky
to get a draw decision The fighting Of
both the youngsters was of the guilt
edge variety and it would have been
pretty hard to make decision. The
decision of the referee was in keeping
with the decision Of the crowd
The bouts drew one of the largest
crowds ever seen at similar show in
Kenosha and many sports came to Ken
osha from other cities to attend the
show.

Cover Street Property Owners
File Protest Against Curling
and Secure Its Removal
WERE READY FOR AcTIoR
Mayor and City Engineer Visit Wor.
and Force Contractors to Take
Up Work Placed When In
spector Was Absent

There was more trouble over the paw.
I ing contracts late Friday afternoon as
the members of the street assessment
committee were served with formal pro
test from the property owners residing
on Grover street that the work was not
being done according to the contract
made with Contractor Jones. Further
the property owners of the street de.
clared that they would contest in the
courts any effort on the part of the city
to levy special assessment against
their property for the work if the letter
Of the contract was not lived up to.
The protest was signed by Henry S. Coop
er, Howard H. Baker, j. R. Proctor, l.
W. Huff, Frank E. Mills, j, H. Harms
and W. D. Mussey.
The protesting delegation after pre-
senting the written protest to the com
mittee declared that they had started
this protest before the work was done
that the contractor might govern him
self accordingly. They declared that
the work done so far had not been done
according to the letter of the contract
and that the work must be stopped until
the contractor made the changes de-
manded.
The remonstrance from the property
owners is the most business like one
presented to the committee in connec-
ton with protests against paving. In
it the property owners declare:
'SYou are hereby notified that because
Of the failure neglect and refusal of the
said contractor, We the undersigned
and each Of us will protest against the
paying of any assessment upon our real
property for the purpose Of paying the
expenses of such work that we will
contest in the courts of the state the
right of the City Of Kenosha to levy
any special assessment against our real
estate and the right Of the said contrac.
tor to collect any sums whatever fo1
any work pretended to have been done
under contract, with the city in the
paving Of Grover street, in front of our
respective parcels of land for the reason
that there is an intentional non compli
ance with the plain provisions Of said
contract
This morning Mayor German, City
Engineer Moth and several of the prop
erty owners met at the work and found
that part of the work had been done
when the city inspector was not pres
ent and they directed that this work be
taken up and done over 50 that it wouiG
be in keeping with the contract and tt
the satisfaction of the property owners
This seemed to be satisfactory to the
property owners, but it is certain tina,
they will keep close watch on thu
work as it progresses and be prepared
to carry out their remonstrance should
occasion arise.
