The particular feature Of the ave-

main bout, was the somi-inal between
Joe Bloom, the PHILADELPHIA boy. and
Frank Fleming, of Canada. Both boys
are decidedly clever n gave a great
exhibition of sparring. Fleming is
known to Newark fans from boxing al

there was in the six-round bout put up
by this pair went to Fleming, who is

To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
How do you get to the Wh'rlwind
| A. c. OF Brooklyn, where Patsy me
fights tonight? ALLEN FORBES.
Take any route that leads you to the
Brooklyn Bridge. AT that point take
a Myrtle avenue car and get off at Van
derbilt avenue. Then walk q half-block
to the clubhouse. The ride is only ten
minutes from the bridge.-Ed.
