boxing matches, and wrestling bout
furnished the amusement last night
at the show, pulled off In the old
Fishmarket, for the entertainment OF
the sailor lads. The events all fur
nished plenty of excitement and some
of them were decidedly classy.
From the standpoint of class, the ,
fistic contest between frankie Smith
and Jack McFadden was easily the
event of the evening. As Smith Is to
meet Trinkle, the game sailorman OF
1.-THE cruiser Maryland, tonight, his
performance last evening was watch
ed with exceptional interest by the
fans.
Smith certainly fulfilled all eXpec-
Itations in the manner that he han
died himself. He was shifty with his
body, light on his feet, and demon
Istrated that he knows the boxing
game thoroughly. Whether or not
he has the necessary hitting power
Ito decide matters could not be judy
ed from last nights work, but he GER
tainly showed himself to be very
clever boy.
Though McFadden kept continual
lily on the move during the eight
rounds that he was in the ring with
Smith, he found It almost impossible
to make many punches land and
when he did send one home 1t was
only to take one of greater singing
power himself in return. The ref
cree awarded the decision to Smith,
he having forced the fighting from
lstart to finish.
Mccullough, the Fort Shafter in
fantryman who has made several ap-
pearances in the ring of late, and
Shurlock of the Maryland put up a
brand of boxing that was sufficient
for the most fastidious. Though not
comparing with the Standardization
contest as far rs science Is concerned,
II was no dub's show and there were
eight rounds of as lively give and
take as any one could ask for.
Shurlock Is very clever man and
he kept the soldier guessing from the
time the referee entered the ring
until the gong sounded on the last
round. The sailor demonstrated that
he has punch of the kind thai
counts, and anyone who believed tina
he was slow must have changed hi
mind very materially after witness
ing last nights entertainment.
Lack of gameness is a falling tina
has never been aseribed to McCul
Tough and he certainly lived up to hi
reputation in that respect. With hi
right hand so badly injured that h
dared not use it to hit with, he stay
ed with the hard-hitting sailor an
took all that he had to give.

with just about us much applause Il
. his opponent-and it was sailo
audience at that.
