TOMMY HoUcK. Of Philadelphia,
i and Jimmy Carroll, of san Fran

pdtties ever held between bantams at
the Olympic Club. of New York, last
night Never were there ten more SEN
sational rounds, and at the finish the
crowd was in a frenzy, standing on
their seats and yelling like so many
mao men for their faVorite. 1t was a
draw.
N is hard to say what kin of a
blow the boys used with the best re-
suit. Carroll pulled every kin of a
wallop on the pugilistic calendar. He
would stab with his left and cross
wickedly with his right to. the Jaw.
He hooked his left to the body and to
the head with equal effect. and brought
his right up solfdly in close. At long
he did the most effective work.
Houck's punches were shorter than
CAROLS, and in close be had all the
better of the mixing. Tommy worked
both hands like a trip-hammer when
the boys were mixing. head to head,
and these blows told on Carroll in the
latter part of the battle.
