All Draws In Boxing
At Independence Club
And Reilly Boxes Well

Draws were the order yesterday af-
ternoon at Independence Club. Agree
ments were made in the cases of all
three goes that If both men were on
their feet at the end of the scheduled
rounds, the affair should be declared
q draw. And there was not knock
out in the whole of the show.
Charlie Reilly had much the better
Of his bout with Fox, of the destroyer
Perry, boxing under conditions d.
rectly different from those which he
found when he went up against Nc
Fadden, and making as good under
the changed circumstances. though
he was not able to tuck Fox away. 1t
seemed that the sailor had somewhat
the better of the weight, and he GER
tainly had the reach, but Charlie
jabbed his teeth almost out OF his
face in the very first round, and came
livery uncomfortably near to tucking
him away with singing right In
the last round, which barely failed,
somehow, to find the right spot to
quite finish Fox.
Fox was a strong boy, and clever,
but hardly in the same class with
the San Francisco lad.
How II Went
| Before the principals for the main
event Of the evening stepped into the
ring, a challenge from Tringle OF the
Maryland for the winner OF the event
to box fifteen rounds with him on
the return of the ships from Samoa
was announced.
| The sailor boy was the first in the
ring. Reilly followed almost imme-
diately with Pete Baron and August
Reinecke. He was cheered as he
walked to his corner. The boys
agreed to break clean at the word OF
the referee, and also agreed that the
go should be called a draw in case
both were on their feet at the end
of the tenth round.
Fox looked palpably nervous, as he
stood in his corner waiting for the
first tap OF the gong. He shifted from
one foot to another, and finally
glanced around in a half-appealing
way at the timer.
Fox Forces Fighting
| The boys were cautious. They
shook hands, and Reilly jabbed his
left to the face after an unsuccessful
feint or two. Fox was surprised, and
rushed. Reilly stopped him with an
other jab. and almost at once rat
tied Fox's teeth with a short-arm
blow to the point. Fox bored in
again, but Reilly landed hard, and
the sailor went more slowly.
Reilly let out bit in the second.
They fought to a clinch, and Reilly
Put his left to the Jaw as they squar-
ed away. He jammed the implacable
left to the wind, and jabbed hard to
the nose. Scrapping fast, he ,ducked
a wide swing, swung his left to the
face, jabbed, siashed, and smashed
time and again with that left. as the
gong sounded. Fox was very much
on the retreat. In the next round, II
was matter of jab, jab. though once
the men exchanged lefts. Foxs Sec
onds were warning him against work
ing himself too hard. Reilly switch
ed his tactics somewhat In the fourth.
He jabbed a number of times, when
he caught one on the chin, and be-
gan to rush. He had Fox in the
ropes. and drove in hard left Just
before the end Of the round that toss
ed the sailors head.
All Reilly's
The nth round was all Reilly's
Fox started 1t with a rush. but Reilly
watched his chance, and five separate
times he put his left to the jaw. As
the round closed, he swung onto
Fox's chin. Fox was apparently q
little exasperated at his inability to
get away from Reilly's left, and was
warned at this stage from hitting in
the clinches. Reilly's left still play.
