The bout between A. S. Rollins of
the Kentucky and B. Houck of Battery
e, field artillery, required seven rounds
before decision could be reached. The
bouts throughout the night were sched-
uled for six rounds, each of two min
utes' duration. This pair of boxers
went the six rounds at great speed and
their work was so even that at the
end the judges felt called upon to order
an extra round Rollins was the ag-
gressor in this and won, simply on that
quality.
Billy Tighe. another sailor, out
pointed Frank Gruber in six rounds.
Frank Rafferty, of the Alabama
showed more class as boxer than
any of the others who appeared. The
fight lasted less than one round when
he put Charles Ross out with left

showed wonderful cleverness.
Phil Schlossberg, the heavy weight
champion of the navy, lived up to his
title by easily stopping Carl Stousser

any of the men of his weight in the

Additional News OF sports Events

that by this time the members had
learned a lesson that the public will
not stand for bad match and that it
is Improbable to endeavor TO stage
such an affair.
Joe Cans came out of the affair with
unsatisfactory financial returns. He
was the champion and he was the man
whom the people paid to see. Cans re-
ceived only $500 for his efforts, while
Joe Thomas received $1,000 merely for
signing over Unholz in the match. I'm
holz carried off $4,000 and thus has
the laugh on Cans. The Boer had to
carry home his share of the receipts in
big wooden boxes, while Cans had no
difficulty in storing away his share.
The fight drew something over S6,100
and as the fighters. received $500 there
was little left TO pay the expenses of
promotion.
There has been considerable discus
sion recently as to whether afternoon
fights al the Mission street arena or
night fights in the Coliseum would
draw the best According to the show
ing of Thursday night. the day fights
are much more popular. With Cans
fighting here in fleet week and his pres
tige as champion, he was only able to
draw little over $4,000 Ketchel and
Sullivan, which was not considered a
great card, drew $4,000 when condi-
tions seemed unfavorable. Cans seems
to have had enough of the new fight
trust and there does not seem a chance
of his going through with the match
with Abe Attell, which Sam Berger
wishes to promote on June 4. Ben
Selig, Cans manager. has an appoint
ment with Willie Britt for tonight at
o'clock at the Willis, when 1T is pos
sible that terms will be agreed upon
for the much talked of 45 round bout
between Cans and Nelson. 1t is hardly

The men of the naval branch of the
service made clean sweep Of their
army opponents last night when they
met in tournament matches in the
auditorium for the championships in
the various classes. The navy men
in every instance showed more science
and they were also in better condition
for the competition. The auditorium
was well filled, the balcony on the
north side being given over TO the
soldiers and that on the south side to
the sailors On the main floor were
the officers, the members of the Olym-
pic club, and a fair Sprinkling of well
known men.
The shouts of the sailors and soldiers
could be heard for blocks as they
cheered on their representatives, or
celebrated the successful outcome of a
bout The men of the navy went into
paroxysms of delight as the represen-
tatives of their ships won with marked
regularity. Caps were thrown into the
air and there was great shower of
programs to heighten the effect. Some
of the men busted themselves in re-
ducing the programs to confetti, and
this came down in showers on the
heads of the spectators about the ring.
There was a band in attendance to add
to the spirit of the occasion, and it
played patriotic airs throughout the
evening.
Matt A. Harris of the Olympic club
acted as referee with the grace of a
veteran, while George James of the
Olympic club acted as Judge for the
