down to that 1t was very nice of the
preliminary gentlemen not to absorb
all the honors; they may get chance
again. 1t must be handed to them
they were both very gentlemanly In
their consideration of Joe Murphy,
the referee, and Joe ought to be
thankful for that. And then there
Is another thing, there may be
row kicked up over the preliminary
of last night. and the two lesser
stars may go at it for fair. 1t was
pretty well understood In the dis
trict that there was bad blood be-
tween the two men, and IL that be
true they made very nice affair of
| It. If there should be another fight
in the district like that of last night,
and il was billed that Luchesi and
Geraghty were to be the principals
the crowd would be just as big as
that of last night and maybe, lit
tie bit bigger.
But the turnout at the arena was
certainly dandy. and there was not
man in the throng who didn't feel
| that he got his moneys worth. If
there was one of the sort he was a
piker The main event was a warm
number; only. of course there was
this fault to find: Sailor Gordon
couldn't hit Jack Carpenter. But he
tried to. and when 1t is said that he
couldn't hit his opponent that
means that he missed him more
times than he hit him. The fight
was the Denver boys from start to
finish: there was not time that the
decision could be in doubt until all
doubt was cleared by the windup in
the 18th round when Carpenter
delivered to the marine his coup de
grace. The sailor boy showed him
self a pretty boxer, but for the most
part when he wasn't sparring for
wind he was sparring at the wind.
The way that Carpenter covered up
was worthy of a better opponent,
and he was fighting all the time;
that is. he was boxing all the time,
but really, it looked like fighting.
only ii can't be called that in the
circumstance.
1t didn't seem that Carpenter had
knockout punch in him, but IL de-
veloped that he did. He landed when
he pleased on the sailor, and Ii was
made evident that the marine is not
in his class. When a man can cover
up like he can, there is no necessity
of fighting; boxing is good enough.
And then, once in a while to impart
bit of realism to the contest the
Gordon sailor would come ashore,
landing on Carpenters head and
wind, and then go out to sea again,
launched in the wake of the wild
waves by the mighty impact of Car
penter's energy. But here's the
fght-contest by rounds:
Contest by Rounds.
Round one-Both men advanced
TO the center of the ring smiling;
both fiddled. (Chestnuts-Police
Gazette literature). There were no
moving pictures taken. In the au-
dience Kaintuck, who will be seen
at the baseball game today, was a
moving picture all by himself He
had a million dollars in currency,
and was ready to bet every cent of 1t
until somebody told him of the ae-
ton of the last legislature and calls
were made for Jake Fulmer; then
he stopped. 1t was too bad. be-

betting on Carpenter, and but for
the cessation in his wild speculation
he would have made another million
dollars. The interest in little Willie
only lasted for a few minutes for
the men got to going. Gordon made
Carpenter do all the work, and Car
penter did ii like a hired man. Car
penter showed himself a mixer and
very clean in the break-away. Cor
don pursued the same tactics. The
round closed with a good rally, and
Ii was anybody's round.
Round two-Gordon works his
right in toward the ribs, and the
blow slides over Carpenters arm
Carpenter responds with left to chin
and right to head. They clinch. In
the break Carpenter lands with right
to the stomach Gordon makes
vicious swing at head and misses by
mile. Gong saves the arm.
Round three-Glorious mixup.'
Carpenter leads with left. lands on
jaw, finds Sailors head with right.
Sailor hits for wind misses; Car
penter swings with right on head;
Sailor smiles, but it isn't on the
square. Sailor sends right smash to
head; this time smiles on the square.
Carpenter knocks smile silly; Sailor
sends in awful right. but Carpenter
covers up. Great applause in the
bleachers, chuckles in Carpenters
corner; bleachers didn't see the
blow. Grand right and left in the
rally. with Carpenter having a shade
the best of IT,
Round four-Men clinch-break
away without word from the ref
cree. Sailor swings with right, lands
