Conley. His favorite combination Was
left jsb and a vicious right TO ConleS's
face. In the seventh round Rivers had
COnley nearly out. but could not land on
vital spot.
1t was seen as early as the third round
that Conley had no chance. and It simply
was Il matter OF how long he could en-
dure the terrible punishment Rivers was
infiicting. Conley constantly carried the
fight to his opponent. only TO receive the
worst beating OF his ring career.
In the eleventh, after lighting for a few
minutes In the centre or the ring, Rivers
rushed and threw Conley's head back with
a terrific right to the jaw. Rivers kept
after him and landed left and right 10
body and face until Conley fell limp over

Moreau Makes Splendid
Showing. However. in
First American
Bout.

Marcel Moreau. the middleweight cham
pion Of France, was outpointed by Jack
Dennink, the West Side mlddleweight. in
ten-round bout at the Fairmont Athletic
Club. OF The Bronx, yesterday afternoon.
Denning had the better of things in eight
of the ten rounds and was an easy winner
The bout was fast and not only we'll but
cleanly contested Moresu made favor
able impression.
The Frenchman owes his defeat more to
the fact that he did not have thorough
knowledge Of the sport than any lack or
real fghting skill Confronted by boy
who knows the Queensberry game from
the ground up. he gave a creditaole ac-
count Of himself. There are many VINO
predict that In six months Moreau will be
numbered among the foremost men or the
mIddleweight class. The Frenchman
showed hitting ability and remarkable
Namina and was game to the core lie
had little trouble in landing on his oppo-
nent. but once he hit and Denning came
in the foreigner failed to fight AT close
quarters many of his most glowing op-
portunites slipped by.
In the fourth round Moreau landed halr
a dozen terrific body smashes on DenninS,
and the American lad backed away ana
WINGED in pain. He was weakened ana
slowed down perceptibly. He was nat
footed and weary, and his attempts at
fancy boxing were very poor The trench-
man drove him across the ring with MS
left hand hooks TO the body, but IaiIeu ~
follow his lead, and Denning managed u
stan and clinch until he recovered.
The West Side lad boxed a pretty pout.
His right hand was injured in a training
encounter. but he went ahead and won On
his merits and superior skill. After tne
first round, with the exception OIL tne
fourth. he outboxed his man in Impressive

WALL STREET GOES VISITING.
Praise Chris COlumbus's Choice of

Wall Street packed its grip yesterday
afternoon after the game played at the
Polo Grounds and was of to Boston for
to-day's game on the late afternoon and
evening trains. Christopher Columbus
couldn't have picked more oppoAune
time for his discovery than October l2,
SO far as a big sized army OF bankers,
brokers, lawyers and string of other
big fellows in the financial section are
concerned.
A partial canvass OF the curb market
association made 1t look as II the whole
membership was on its way to Boston
The other exchanges and their brokers
appeared equally anxious to get out of
town early and were mostly travelling in
one direction, eastward.
The betting yesterday before the game
was more brisk than 1t has been on any
day of the series II was conservatively
estimated by betting commissioners yes
terday that fully $4,000 In wagers on
yesterdays game had been made, mostly
at even money, and this did not include
the array of bets made privately among
brokers and other MN in the financial
district. The lowest estimate Of money
that has so far been put on the Boston
team for the series was $4,000
