COULON HAS SHADE
ON YOUNG O'LEARY
Knocked Down in the Second Round
He Finishes Fast in Go at
New York.

New York, Nov Johnny Coulon
of Chicago, the bantamweight cham
pion, had q slight shade over Young
O'Leary in fast six-round go at the
Roman Athletic club tonight 1t was a
slashing go from bell to bell. Coulon
landed on O'Leary's nose in the first
round and kept peppering away at it
all through the fight with the result
that OLeary was a sight at the finish.
OLeary was weakened by training
down to Is pounds at which weight
the clever little Chicago lad is at his
best. Coulon hung on to O'Leary's
neck a number of times and in one
round they went to the floor together.
When they got up O'Leary put out his
right as If to shake and Coulon put
a right to his jaw that dazsd the little
East Slider.
O'Leary scored a knockdown in the
second with short punch to the jaw,
but Coulons was up in a moment, bor-
ing right in. The Chicago lads father
was urging him on, and yelling for a
knockout But the boy didn't have
the punch.
A big crowd was on hand, many OF
the fans armed with COW bells and
horns, and they made a tremendous
racket every time the local boy
scored. The police did not attempt to
interfere.

Beginners had always large share
of Toms sympathy, and he was ever

was astonished one day to find a raw

right swing wi thing like that on

he showed the young man the proper
