bad with the crowd. This was Grad
wells round, while the fourth was
Hogan's, as described above.
But that was the last chance that
Hogan had to show his speed, as
Gradwell seemed to have his meas
ure and whipped in rights and lefts
with clocklike precision in the fifth,
with hardly return from Hogan
His seconds kept warning him to
look out for Hogan's "stall' of taking
punishment to get in the haymaker
but Gradwell was so busy Furnishing
Hogan that he paid no attention.
And Hogan likewise was so busy
trying unsuccessfully to dodge Grad
wells we'll selected assortment of
jabs and uppercuts that he had no
time to stall. He was having his own
troubles and was a sight to look at,
as the wallops of Gradwell splattered
the blood flowing so freely from his
damaged nose all over his coun-
tenance.
So it went through the sixth, sew
enth, eighth and ninth rounds, with
Gradwell doing all the work. In the
eighth round Gradwell caught Hogan
with a right swing on the jaw as
Hogan made a rush and the latter
banged up against the ropes and
would have gone down for the only
knockout of the battle had not the
ropes saved him.
In the tenth Hogan came out to do
or die. He started off with a rush,
but Gradwell Strengthened him up
with a series of uppercuts. and in the
middle of the round staggered him
with a stiff left to the jaw. 1t was
then that Hogan seemed to lose his
head and he rushed fast and furious
but Gradwell stood off his wild
rushes and had Hogan nearly out at
the finish. Then Hogan started hit
ting like a wild person at everyone
who came near him, while the big
crowd forgot to cheer Gradwell for
his great work, as they stood and
Missed Hogan for his unsportsman-
like action.
Gradwell got the reception he de-
served, though, as he made his way
to the dressing-room without mark
showing on him, except very slight
cut on the upper lip.
Semi-f1nal Bouts.
The semi-final brought in a winner
in Johnny Wilson, who became
Johnny" after he had gained the
decision of the crowd over Carl Vic
tor, of Garfield, in six rounds of fight
ing. He was Tommy" Wilson be-
fore that. It's a habit fighters have
of taking a wrong name before a
fight Then the fight does not show
on their record, if they lose.
But Wilson, whatever his first
name is, did not lose last night, for
after sizing up Victor for three
rounds he cut loose and won as he
pleased. He has a left swing with a
lot of power in it, and shook Victor
up repeatedly with it.
The first two preliminaries were
stopped in the second round. Young
Sabel, of this city, had Young Con-
way, of the Ironbound district, help
less when Referee Wood waved the
latter from the ring. The other bout
was between Young Combe, of the
National Turner'S and Johnny Clark,
of New York, and was about the fun
niest ever Combe possesses an awk-

hair and a left wallop that seemed to
have more power than mules KICK,
He slammed Clark all over the ring
in the first round, and the crowd sat
back in the second period, just wait
ing for the knockout punch to come
Clark accidentally slammed right
and left to Combe's jaw and a
startled look came over the latter's
face He thought he saw another
swing coming his way and threw up
both hands and quit. Clark was the
most surprised man that ever stepped
out of ring victor.
rabbit" Hanley, of Belleville, and
young Mack, of this city, fought
four fast rounds with honors about
even, Hanley's fast work in the last
round giving him very slight adj
vantage.
