 The men met at 145 pounds and it was a slam-baug afair from the first round. Williams had something on MeDonough fn the matter of both science and condition. but the Brook lyn boxer offset that condition by his ability to slug.
 For the first two rounds there was nothing to choose between the pair. In the third Williams had a shade the better of It. but McDonOugh vent to his corner strong and willing.

THE PUGiLlSTS SOME GOOD ONES
 SEEN LAST NIGHT
Papke Puts Away Two- Neil Goes to a Draw-M More Hot
 Battles.

Boston, Aug 14.--Billy Papke of Chicago won both his fights at the Ar mory Athletic club last night. He put Johnny Carroll of New York hors de combat in two rounds and so dis couraged Frank Mantell of Provi- dence that he quit at the end of the first round. Both bouts were sched- uled for six rounds and there was a great crowd around the ring.
 The preliminaries were lively and interesting. but interest centered in Papke's attempt to defeat two men one after another.
 In his first round with Johnny Car roll Papke began by sending his op- ponent to the ropes with a right handler to his head. In clinch Papke walloped Carroll in the stom- ach, but the latter getting away clev- erly ducked Papke's swings and land- ed twice on his jaw. But the other came back with rapid work and sent Carroll to the floor just before the bell, which saved him. Both started to slug in the second round, Carroll getting much the worst of it. He was staggering around the ring when Referee Donnelly stopped the fight. awarding it to Papke.
 Papke then met Frank Mantell in a six-round go, as it was scheduled. Mantell pushed the fighting at first, jabbing to the head and face as they fought close together. After a clinch they had hot mixup in the center of the ring, in which Papke had the best of it.
 Mantell began jabbing again and Papke forced him back with strong rights and lefts to his face and body.
 Mantell quit at the end of the first round, not liking, he said, the game he was up against. The fight was awarded to Papke.
 In the first preliminary of four rounds between Carl Lubo and Young Burns, Lubo won the decision. Young Troy won his four-round bout with Charlie Walsh by a knockout in the second round.
 Young Dick Slater won the third preliminary over Young Henderson in the third round. The fourth event one of six rounds between Young Jack Johnson and Alonzo Morris went the distance and Morris was awarded the decision. The semi-fnal scheduled as an eight-round bout be- tween Eddie Murphy of South Boston and Kid Manning of Providence was called of, Murphy refusing to weigh in.

GREAT FIGHTS WERE THESE.

If you were not at the Princess A. C., New York, last night you missed treat. Johnny Marto and Frankie Madden put up one of the best six round bouts witnessed in this city for many days. --9','
 Madden had all the best of the first two rounds and looked like a sure winner. Marto came out of his corner in third with a rush and car- ried Madden of his feet several times rushing him to the ropes often and peppering him with rights and lefts that soon made Madden slow up. In the fourth he gained a great advant- age when he cut Madden over the left eye, the blood trickling into the eye and partially blinding him.
 In the fifth Marto made a target of Madden's bad eye and soon had the blood flowing again. Madden began to come back fast toward the end of the round, and it was clear that he meant to force matters in the last round.
 In the sixth Madden fought like tiger and had Marto going twice with terrific Jolts on the jaw. The bell found Madden hammering Marto flercely and fast evening up scores with his shifty opponent. It can be safely called a draw.
 Iu the semi-final Babe Cullen "got his" at Percy Cove's hands. being knocked out clean and cold In the third round after putting up a pretty fight. He went down twice for the count of eight and then went down and out with a terrifiee punch on the point of the jaw. He was unconscious and Cove helped his seconds carry him to his corner. He did not recoy- CT there at once. SO was carried to the dressing room in the arms of one of his seconds.
 Cove is a finished boxer and 1t Is doubtful if there are three men of his weight in New York who can whip him. He is aggressive, a punch doesn't bother him a bit and he uses either hand with the same effective ness. He has a long reach and can punch like a pile-driyer. Cullen did not look to be in any too good shape and evidently held Cove too cheap.
