FIGHT
LAST NIGHT
TENlRoUhD kxH1sirioN sy SUI
LyAN OF DENVER AND oARA
vEY OF PUEBLO At HALL


"A nttlng male OF q very successful
amusement program at the fAir was
the boxing exhibition at the Maenner:
chor hall last night, witnessed by a
large and enthusiastic audience, who
saw three very interesting bouts and
some good display of the manly art.
The ring mad beer erected on the
stage and this vas surrounded by as
many as could be conveniently seated,
the major portion of the audience
being on the main floor of the hall.
The Preliminaries
The first exhibition was by Murphy
and Morgan of this city. two clever
lads. who gave what may be termed a
lively scrap with soft gloves. Neither
was knocked down and neither had to
be counted out. Referee Moreland OF
Denver calling the bout a draw.
A much more spirited exhibition was
by Herb Hand of Walden. ("Joe
Black, jr.") and Joe German Of New
York. a short, %heavy-set fellow, who
gave Hand the glad-hand right in the
face, receiving Hands hand in a free
hand hand-out at intervals. The four
rounds were fast enough to give the
spec ,ators opportunity TO note the
clever work of both amateurs. The
end came in a draw.
Carney and Sullivan.
The main event of the evening. q
ten-round exhibition, vas by Sullivan
of Denver and Carney of Pueblo. The
Sullivan was no the fighter who ap
peared at the Opera House a few
weeks ago, but another clever fighter
who gave the more speedy Garvey a
run for his money . The fight belong
ed to the Pueblo lad from the very
first, n in only the fourth and the
eighth rounds were there demonstra
tons for Sullivan, who went at his op
ponent hammer and tongs, rushing tn,
fight and landing freely with his vic
ious thrusts with both right and left
He was plainly winded after each on
slaught, however, and the succeed
ing round was tame and listless.
Ran Out Of Wind
1t Is believed that had the Denver
boy been able to keep up through the
fifth and sixth rounds his first rush il
the fourth, ne would have landed the
purse. 1t wa Garvey's game in the
last two. and the bell at the end o.
the tenth and the bout found Sullivan
just about to the last pound OF pres
sure. He was shaky during the livel!
attacks of the lighter man, and while
the knockout did not come, Their,
were indications that the end was wei
