The boxing game has been resurrected
again in this bag city, and there is just
as much rejoicing among tine followers
Of the popular and harmless sport as
the Republican party displayed on Elec-
ton nis' when they learned that big
Bill Tart had been elected President OF
the United States,
The new lease Of life which the sport
has received was injected into It last
night at the National A. c.. where Ave
good bouts were decided at a stag held
by the club, at which only bona fids
members were permitted to be present.
Shortly after 3 o'clock the principals
in the first bout entered the ring They
were Introduced az Fighting Kennedy
and Harry Stone.
The next pair to enter the ring were
Ben Douglas and Billy Herman, who
has been knocking nearly all his oppo-
nents out az s'dss held by the FAIR
mont A. G. This was rafting contest.
as the men fought from the trst tap OF
the E0nr TO the final bell, knockdowns
were plentiful during the contest, firsG
one man would drop his opponent with
swing on the Jaw and then the other
fellow would cut loose swing which
would fiooT his man. II was one OF the
best bouts ever Witnessed in this vicin-
ity, and the members gave both pugil-
lists . great reception when they left The
Rms.
