Goodman and Brown Draw.

New York. June 24-A whirlwind finish
In the last three rounds gave Jack Good
man a draw with young Brown in the
ten-round final at the Garden tonight.
1t was a thrilling mill, and kept the big
crowd on its feet most Of the time.
Poor handling cost Brown the fight.
Through the first half OF the contest
Brown did all tho forcing and landed
the cleaner blows, but toward the finish,
when Goodman was apparently firing.
Browns handlers failed to send their
man after Jack. This gave Goodman a
chance to bring his ring generalship into
play. and he certainly used It to the best
advantage.
