BOXING BOUTS BEST
SEEN in MANY MOONS

"Chee! wasn't ut great SPORT" said
the fight fan as he left Independence
Hall last night. lie spoke with ref
erence to the boxing bouts, at which
he had just yelled and howled, and
from which he had gotten about the
most fun which has ever been fur
nished b. such an entertainment in
this city.
And the fan was right. II was
sport---clean. good sport. all of 1t.
This marks the Inauguration of
what Is probably to be series of
good boat to he held ia this city, es-
peciGlly while thc ships are here. The
first preliminary was only less good
than the main event, in which Young
Nelson and Rafferty, went ten rounds
to a draw. If the second preliminary
was too easy for the sailor. Ii went
almost three rounds. all the same, and
served to get the jack-tar represen-
tation on edge for the main event.
Joe Cabral and Ernie Helnc step
ped through the ropes first. The boys
showed up well, and the bout went
four fast and clean rounds. In the
initial round Heine found Jocs jaw
with a hayamker, and down went the
little fellow, who seemed to have
about eight pounds the short end of
the weight. He was up again like a
rubber ball. and there is where he
made his mistake. lleine was wait
ing for him, and caught him again
on the Jaw. sending him to the floor.
and finished OF the round rs fresh
rs n daisy. lieine loosencd out in
the second with some swift swings,
but Cabral rushed, and was inside
most Of them. The men fought con-
tinually to a clinch. Cabral had the
best of It. The mixing was not in
the cleunest form. ...
In the third, Joe came ahead. he
found his man again and again on
the jaw with his right, and Heine
was On the back-up most OF the time.
Joe also got him angry.
The men mixed 1t from almost the
first of the fourth, Heinc by the in
struction of his seconds covering his
! jaw mere carefully. But both men
landed continually. Joe having all
the best of 1t, and forcing the fight
ing all around
The crowd cheered the decision
when Joe was led forward and de-
clared winner.
0'Brien and Kupa
The second preliminary, scheduled
as a Ground contest ut 14O pounds
was ended in the third round. when
o'Brien of the Maine fioored Kupa, a
local man, and was given the decision
by the referee. In the first round,
the superiority of the jackie was very
apparent. He was faster than his OPP
ponent, and had the punch with him.
O'Brien pursued the rushing tao,

and also had the advantage OF the
weight last night. The men were
supposed to 90 into the ring at 1876

1870.
All through the opening rounds,
Rafferty, kept up the rangey work,
and had IL on points. Nelson was
boring in all the time, trying to get
close to his man. but could not man
age It, He became more and more
nervous at the holding tactics OF
Rafferty,, and hit out viciously at
close range every chance he got.
Rafferty, had left jab which both
cred Nelson good deal but it lack

came back with some good ones, but

both boys fought well. and the ninth
round found Nelson complaining to
his seconds when the gong sounded
that he could not make Rafferty, fight
at close quarters.

the round he landed with stiff left
