Especial Dspcich to The Cali
NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-Last night
Managing Editor Hennessy Of the New
York Press phoned the Hammersteins
an invitation to fight. which chal-
lenge was accepted by Arthur Ham
merstein. speaking for his father and
brother William. The place set for the
fight between the Press and Hammer
stein STATS was in front of jefferson
market police court at o'clock this
morning.
At the hour named the three Ham
mersteins, accompanied by William
Guard. their press agent, reached the
battle ground by automobile. Later
Hennessy and three men from the Press
star alighted from the elevated.
Which is Hennessy?" demanded Ar

and some one landed a mighty blow on
Ford's face which laid him fiat on his
back in the gutter. and soon there was
general mix up.
Many persons we'll versed in the nice
ties of rough and tumble fighting,
speaking Offhand. declared it was one
of the prettiest Sunday morning street
fights they had ever witnessed
Both sides were as busy as bees for
something like five or ten minutes
Some of the spectators said the affair
was a real riot" and that nothing
like it had occurred in that part OF
the city since a few misguided citizens
tried TO lynch a person some is years
ago.
The street was eongested with spec
tators. Like all such affairs. it was
hard to say which side was ahead on
points. because there was more or less
interference and many well directed
blows caught the wrong man. Early in
the battle somebody blew a police
hustled into court where hOsthties
were resumed when Oscar Hammer
stein stood up and said to Hennessy.
II want a good look at YOU
"All right" said Hennessy, who
hauled off and struck the redOubtable
impresario a heavy blow in the face
knocking him clear over a bench and
completely wrecking another OF the
famous Hammerstein tiles. Members
of the two belligerent STATS were then
locked into separate cells.
Later Magistrate Finn, better known
as Battery Dan. in high dudgeOn

who were concerned in Yesterdays at
