SQUARED CIRCLE GOSSIP

lightweight championship, placed
both feet on the pugilistic ladder
when he defeated Bert Papp in a
most decisive manner at the Central
Institute last night. Papp has been
introduced around the neighboring
States as the lightweight champion
of New Jersey. At no time during
the bout did Papp shine, with the
possible exception of the third round,
when he got to Victor's jaw with a
right hook that shook Carl from his
head to his feet.
Victor, it has been stated. claims
to be the lightweight champion of
New Jersey. This is denied by Victor
and Billy Proctor that any such
claim was made. Both recognize
that the title is held by Joe Sugrue,
of Jersey City. But Papp and Proc
tor assert that barring Sugrue, Victor
has made the best showing, and is
willing to prove it by engaging in
contests with those who question his
ability to defend it. Jack Coyne of
Orange, will most likely be Victor's
next opponent, as Young Gradwell
has shown no desire or inclination
to be within a city block of him
since his re-entry into matters pu-
gilistic.
The Young Murphy Young Mack
bout was stopped by the referee at
the conclusion of the second round,
as Murphy had received a serious cut
over the eye. Murphy's showing was
good. but Mack's was better They
will meet again in the near future.
frankie Mahon made grand fin
ish in his bout with Scotty Devlin,
but as Devlin had all the best of the
previous rounds his efforts went for
nothing.

Tommy O'Connor. of this city, gave
very clever exhibition of the art of
boxing, the Orange lad winning by
his very brilliant showing, having a
slight advantage in every round.

holding him, gave the Philly lad
bad licking in the entire six-round
session at the Olympia A. A., Phila-
delphia, last night.
