OOA LILA - oAAOOAN0N
"Gunboat" Smith sank the good
ship Charley Miller in three broad
sides at the Atlantic Garden A. c.,
New York, last night The third
round had hardly gone a minute
when Miller was floundering on the
floor. The referee tolled off ten as
Miller went through the motions of a
novice trying to swim, in his efforts
to rise.
1t was q freak knockout. The men
were at close quarters. when Smith
jolted his right to the jaw. Miller's
knees sagged, and as Big Charlie was
crumpling Smith landed his famous
occipital punch squarely. The blow
FASTENED Miller's descent to the can
vas
He was in a sitting posture; then
he rolled over. until he was flat ON his
stomach. Then Miller went through
his swimming evolutions as he was
trying to grasp the lower strand sur
rounding the ring. He could not arise
in the allotted time, and the vic
torious Gunboat assisted his fallen
rival to his feet.
Jimmy Duffy, of Lockport. outboxed
and outfought Young Shugrue, of
! Jersey City, in eight of ten rounds at
Buffalo last night. sThe eighth round
was Shugrue's and the ninth even.

FCoffey in regard to the challenge Of
fered by the latter to frankie.

| Emil Thiery and Ed Reddy, mama
gers of Mcfarland and Gibbons, re-
spectively, met in Chicago on We'd
nesday to talk over a match, but
nothing definite was accomplished.
Reddy said that Gibbons would box
at 145, weighing at 8 o'clock, while
Thiery insisted on ringside scaling.
Later Thiery said that Packey would
meet Mike at 142, weighing at 8
o'clock, but Reddy threw up his
hands
Gunboat Smiths proposed bout
with Sam Langford in Boston is in
the air. The Atlas A. A., which has
been negotiating with the men, has
one more date, November IL, in its
present quarters, the Arena. The
matchmaker is undecided about the
attraction for that date. He says
that IL he cannot stage Smith and the
Tar Baby he will put on Gene Chip
and Leo Houck or Gilbert Gallant
and Ad Wolgast.
Mcfarland is practically matched
| to box Jack Britton in Milwaukee
| in two weeks. 1t is said that the
weight is 1876 at 3 o'clock. When Nc
Farland beat Britton in the Garden
last spring the weight was 1877 at 1
o'clock.
Willie Ritchie has resumed training
| for the Leach Cross bout. The
worlds lightweight champion, while
resting several days, took on half a
4 dozen pounds, so that further work
! is necessary. But he says he will mot
! indulge in strenuous exercise until
middle of next week. Cross will be
the middle of next week. Cross will
be able to train again on Monday,
as he has nearly recovered from his
recent injury.
