Kellar. the English bantamWeight,

kellar, the EngliSn D~dnldinWelBnl,
at the Olympic Club, in New
York. last night, in the star t%en-round
bout. Shrugrue won because he was
the stronger all through the fight, his
punches were cleaner and landed more
often, and for the most part he carried
the mill to the foreigner.
Kellar is a crafty man, an old general
with a few hundred battles under his
belt, and, characteristic of his brother
boxers. a left jab is his forte. And, Ike
many of the lads who are a bit under
the weather from a long siege In the
roped arena, he holds himself in reserve
for the first two minutes IL a round
and then turns loose his best efforts.
Shrugrue had youth and strength in
his favor last night and q world of con-
fdence. 1t was the second battle be-
tween the two, the lads having battled
ten rounds on New Years afternoon at
the same club, the bout resulting in
Kellar's favor. Shrugrue had his man
sized up last night, and, entering the
| ring In the pink of condition, made a
rip-tearing fight of it all the way. He
weakened Kellar with his heavy body

outboxed his man. landing left after

showing was marred by frequent at
tempts at covering" In the fourth
round Attell injured his right hand by
coming in contact with Aliens elbow.
