1t WASH t the boxers in the ring
Last night that we went to see;
1t wasn't the lust of blood and gore
That might flow cOpiOusly;
1t WASH t the drag of the padded mitts
That calls so mysteriously;
We all of us simply went to watch
Jack Seully referee.
There were only eight rounds of box
ing last night, to be exact, really only
seven. With the inconsistency of their
kind many of the fans Immediately
began to kick. Just where they had
a kick coming it is hard to see, for any
bout is liable to end in the first round
and they seem to forget that the price
they paid for admission is about half
what they would have spent outside if
they had not been there.
That big confidence thing from Fort
Shafter went up in smoke as soon as
Miller got in the ring and sized up
with Sullivan. There was much move
ment of the arms on Miller s part and
many vain attempts to reach Dick 4
face, but the latter stood like a slightly
animated statue, occasionally switching
out his left glove like a streak of light
ming and iabbing Miller's face into
mush before the first round was over.
From the first Miller showed signs
of holding on and striking in the
clinches, sometimes alarmingly low, al
though, of course. this was mere clumsi-
ness and not intentional. The second
round had hardly gone a minute when
Sullivan with rather annoyed express
sion, as one who shakes off a jumping
dog who asks TO be petted, sent out
his left to Miller's nose and then
crossed with hard right to the jaw
that Jared Miller's cerebral system
sufficiently 20 pull down the dream cur
tains.
Sullivan showed to great advantage.
He was lean and fit and as cool as n
cucumber out of the cold storage plant.
The marvellous speed with which he
landed his lefts was altogether too
much for the husky soldier. Miller is
strong and agile enough and looks like
a typical boxer, but so does Bill Squires
and he, alas, has paper jaw.N
The first preliminary between Boquet
and Young Scotty was all in favor Of
the former. although referee Ayres
thought differently and gave it draw,
whereupon the crowd gave itself up TO
the delight of hooting and Kissing and
ioshing the referee when he again came
on the stage as announcer.
In the second preliminary McFadden
had no difficulty in disposing of young
Terry in less than two rounds. He was
able to reach his opponent and, when
McFadden can do that, it is nearly al
WAYS curtains for the other fellow.
McCull0ch from the Engineers camp
did not show up for some unknown rea-
SON. ANY reason he may wish to give
the public for his detection will be
given publicity in these columns.
Take it all round it was a good even
ing's entertainment at the price. Joe
Cohen has had some difficulty with the
various pugilists who fancy themselves
stars of attraction and, under the cir
cumstances. he did remarkably well.
The genial Incognito refereed the sec
ond go and, after much wrangling, Jack
Seully was decided on as the third man
in the ring for the main event.
