.TIGHE SHOWS UP
A GREAT SCRAPPER
ROuts Are All Classy
Davies Scores
Over Hart

That the hght fans OF THIS city
never saw a classier scrapper than
Dennis Tighe of the battlcship Ala
bdma Is sure thing. Tighe waS
matched to go ten rounds with SOL
der Murphy Of Fort Shafter at In ,
dependence Hall Saturday night, and /,
finished the Goldie. after about two
and one-half minutes of fighting. The
lunches, and probably half the crowd
did not see II at all. But 1t was a
beautifully clean punch, and shows
Tighe to be in Il class all by himself,
beyond doubt, In the local ring.
The thing was quickly done. In
the first round, Murphy showed his
powers rs II boxer, and managed To
keep away from Il good many blows
which Tighc started Still. when the
round closed, he showed that every
time his antagonist had touched him
he had landed with telling effect.
Things seemed to 80 pretty much
at the first OF the second as they had
gone all along. Murphy got one in
the mouth which he evidently felt,
but lie G1inched, and stalled around
clcyerly. Then he ducked one. was
| caught with Il left in the face, II
right over the heart, and then lifted
- the floor with short right hook
TO the corner of the Jaw. He YVES
out. had the count been twenty see
Gnds in place of ten.
All through, Tighe had hardly
| Iumpled his hair.
| II can be said FOR Murphy that he
| had no time In which to train, and
was therefore at some disadvantage.
Tighe will 20 soon into the prize
ring us Il professional. and will make
! good. lie is a middlcweiGht, weigh.
ing 1iS pounds last night against
1872 for the soldier. His punch has
marvellous power. He fights from u
rrou h, like Il good many good ones.
! Murphy was checred by the sailors
as he left the ring, for his game work
under punishment '.'''.'
The first preliminary, between
Young Sharkey and Wahilani, in the
! feathcrweight class, was Il draw.
Young Sharkey is promising lad.
/ He kept coming all the time, and
! though he did not have the furnishing
power to get his man out. he often
had him groggy. Wahilsni was very
game. and managed to hold his own.
| rhe boys started in to fight from the
| first tap of the gong. and kept up a
8lugging match all through, though
they got too tired to go very fast at
II before the last round was over.
The second preliminary, six rounds
between Hart Of the Maine and Davis
of the Alabama. was classy go.
| Hart boxed at 1852 and Davis at 1856.
! The former naturally assumed a
waiting attitude, fighting from a
crouch. He covered up well, and,
though he did not lead back much,
he did not get badly punished. Up
to the last round. the thing seemed
like draw. when Davis found Hart
in the solar plexus with n swift
right, and the lighter man had, to
stall the rest of the round to save
himself from knockout. Davis box
ed in great form, and had the crowd
with him. He Is a neat scrapper.
The fight went to Davis on the de-
cision of Referee Mike Patton.
All the evening the sport was
great. In fact, IL such great boxing
can be given the crowds from this
time on, the boxing game will be
more popular here than ever before.
Jack Scully is to give more games on
the Fourth, and that he will be very
largely patronized now seems GER
tain.
