BOYS IN LIVELY BOUTS
Several Knockouts Keep the
Crowd Stirred Up.
ROCKS GOES TO THE MAT
Hill Slugs His Way to Victory
When Defeat Stared Him In
the Face.

BY one of the fastest and most sensa-
tionaI finishes ever seen In greater New
York, Barry Hin, of the knights of St
Anthony sIugged his way to victory out of
the very Jaws of defeat and knocked out
Joseph Rocks. of the rrisE, American Ath-
Ietic Club, in the final round of the ban
tournament at the Irish American Athletic
Club last night.
Hill was foored by smashing right
hook to the jaw in the first round, and, ac-
cording to the amateur rules, was taken to
his corner and allowed one minute to re-
cuperate. He came up at the call of time
and waded into his confident opponent,
swinging both hands TO body and head with
the speed and precision of piston rods lie
battered Rocks around the arena and had
him weak and weary at the bell. In the
final round Hill forced his foenan about
the ring. landing both hands, and finally
dropped him helpless on the mat with a
right cross to the jaw.
As in the preliminary round, the boxing
was fast and furious. knockouts were
plentiful, five boys being stretched on the
canvas their championship aspirations
rudely shattered. Prominent among those
who sought shelter on the boards was John
Kinskie. the man who knocked out Sam
Wallach in the preliminary bouts on Thurs
day night.
The tournament was the first of its kind
held III New York since the days of the old
Knickerbocker Club. and brought to light
several promising young boxers. Those who
stood ont most prominently were John Jor-
don, of the South Paterson Club. and wal
ter McGuir, of the Pastime Athletic Club.
". A Beckman, the national amateur
middleweight champion, was successful in
defending his title against l.. kiliian after
a most stubborn conflict.
The heavyweight class, around which the
interest of the night centred, had only three
entries. Emery Payne, of the Mohegan
Athletic Club, the ex-champion, was forced
10 retire because of an attack of blood poi
soning
In the first bout Charles Speck. Of the
New West Side Athletic Club, met Fred
Mang, of the Grace Athletic Club, whom
he defeated after the hardest kind Of bat
ting.
In the final round Speck was pitted
against John J. Gsrreston, OF the Irish
American Athletic Club. Speck was fully
thirty pounds over weight and in poor
condition The hard fight he had gone
through just short while before told on
him, and he dropped, defeated more by his
own exertions than his rivals blows.
