Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-10-03

It was Barry all the way, anu Oh
though the fans did not fancy his Jack
O'Brien sprinting, the eastern youth
always landed the cleaner and more ef-
fectiye punches in every round and had
a distinct lead It all times, so that II
the battle had gone to the limit there
was little chance for johnson to win
except by the aid of d knockout. john
son put up a game and aggressive pat
tie. but Barry was much too clever
and speedy for him and compared fav-
orably in the matter of punching abil-
ity.
Johnson rushed Barry all over the
ring in each round. Barry backed up
and sidesteppeL all the time, but his
generalship enabled him to step In and
poke an effective punch and get away
with 1.-THE only way he could win
from the human punching bag. There
fore, while johnson was aggressive,
Barry was exhibiting coed, cool-headed
generalship and as his style of milling
won there can be no criticism WITHIN
reason on the score Of sprinting and
avoiding the assaults of Johnson.
Both men were much improved fight
ers compared with their last appear
ances in the local ring. Johnson was
in perfect health and condition ana
Barry declared himself to be In better
all-around condition tran he ever mad
attained for any previous fight. The
result, therefore, mus. be taken as a
true one and a true comparison OF
their abilities as fighters.
Quite an unusual Incident featured
the end of the fight. Manager Gaines
tossed towel in the RIG In the seventh
round, when Barry put over those
rights and lefts that sent the big Rus
sian staggering, and Referee Charlie
Eyton very properly accepted the
acknowledgment of defeat and stopped
the fight. Johnson protested and start
ed after Barry, but Eyton stopped him
and ordered him to his corner. Thls
angered johnson, who asserted that he
was in fine condition to go ahead and
win, and when he could not fight Barry
any further he started after Manager
Gaines and his other seconds, intend
ing to mop up with them. He leaned
over the ropes and took a poke at his
seconds, but Referee Eyton and the
police restrained the angry fighter.
Barry entered the ring with quite
formidable array Of advisers as his
seconds, being accompanied by Man
ager Teddy Murphy, Joe Lazelle, Ad
Wolgast and Maurice Sayers. Johnson
was not so fortunate in the matter of
prominent seconds, but had fighting
quartet in his corner. His seconds
were Manager Jim Gaines, Arthur Col
Inns. Aldo the Turk and Mike Rutchos.
Supporters of Barry were in the major
ity in flashing their money, and to 1
with Barry the favorite was the ring
side offering, at which several bets
were made. There was several min
utes' delay before the big fellows ap-
peared in the ring, but they finally
showed up, and the crowd gave them
a rouslng cheer after having yelled
themselves hoarse in impatient calls
for business to get under way.
Al Weinig, the veteran, and Arthur
Collins, the big black heavy, were on
the program. On appearances Collins
was the better man Of the pair, but
the veteran appeared to be in good con-
dition., They were scheduled to go ten
rounds. After they had fiddled for
about ten seconds Collins hooked a
left to the jaw and put Weinig down
for nine. A few seconds later Collins
smashed a hard right under the heart
and left and right to the jaw, put
ting Weinig to his knees, but he
clinched and saved himself. Collins
smashed him a few more, hitting him
when and where he willed, and Captain
Broadhead ordered the bout stopped,
Referee Blake acting under his instruc-
lions.
Makes Ringside Match
The first number on the program was
scheduled as a siX-round affair between
Kid Murray, a newsboy, and Eddie
Russell. Murray was no match for
Russell, however, and a few punches
put him down and out in the first
round, Manager McCarey was so well
pleased with the large attendance that
he made a ringside match at six rounds
between Charlie Anslinger and Joe
williams, and when announcement was
made to this effect the 5000 fans in the
house gave noisy evidence of their APP
probation Of the big deal by which
two bouts were given for the one adj
vertised.
Williams started off the first round in
a rush, and before they had fought
half a minute he copied Anslinger
with a right haymaker that put An
Singer to the mat. Anslinger was not
