logan BEATEN BY GRADWELL
| PROVES HIMSELF HARD LOSER
Californian Loses Head After Losing Fight
and Tries to Get at Clever Newarker
After Final Gong Is Sounded.

Young Gradwell, of this city, gave
One-round Hogan, of San Francisco,
the worst beating that lad has re-
ceived since he shook the dust of
California from his heels, in days
agone, and came East with the
prestige of a string of one-round vic
yories, looking for new fields to con-
luer.
| The battle took place at the Hill
Tide Athletic Club, and fully $500 of
eradwelPs friends from this city and
Heinity were on hand to cheer him
IS he jabbed. stabbed, damned, up
circuit and swung on Hogan's face
ntil the latter was CORY sight and
very weary boxer.
The victory was clean-cut and
dtbout flaw, and no one knew this
etter than Hogan himself, for after
lie gong had rung terminating the
ght Hogan still wanted to keep on
ghting, and made several wild
wings at Gradwell after the latter
ad dropped his guard. Even when
Togan's and Gradwells seconds
umped into the ring the fighter,
'enzied apparently because he had
,st to the comparatively unknown
Fewark lad, kept on fighting. and
lnded several and sundry wallops on
he men who were trying to capture
i'm and quiet him.
Hogan is scheduled to fight Johnny
core in Brooklyn tomorrow night
nut it is exceedingly doubtful If he
-oes, as the walloping given him by
radwell will take him more than
vo days to get over. 1t was Grad
ellis fight from every angle, Hogan
list once showing flash of the form
lat made him famous on the Pacific
,ast That was in the fourth round,
hen, after Gradwell had banged him
round the ring pretty handily for
Vo minutes of the round, Hogan
'oke up and took a hand in the
angling himself, getting in half a
Oxen solid wallops without a return
rom Gradwell. The little Newarker
oyered up and weathered the storm,
nd after that it was Gradwell by a
oxen city blocks all the way.
Hogan Was Fit.
Hogan had no excuses to offer. He
vas fit and confident when he en-
cred the ring, and seemed to regard
he bout but a practise one for the
lore affair in Brooklyn. But he
eckoned without his host in Grad
veil, and the latter soon had Hogan
displaying everything he knew about
the ring game in an effort to avoid
punishment, particularly of his nose,
from which Gradwell started the
tlaret flowing in the third round and
Eept it going throughout the bout.
: Gradwell fought fight last night
that stamps him as a conner. He was
sareful at all stages, and gave Hogan
no chance to use that short left hook
Of his that earned him the cognomen
Of "One-round." Hogan tried it re-
peatedly, but Gradwell always
blocked it safely.
THE Newark boy grew better as the
kht progressed, and in the last
ree rounds was absolutely Hogan s
master, but the older and skilled ring
veteran kept his jaw so, safely
guarded that Gradwell could not push
,ver the "sleep wallop." Gradwell

In the first round Gradwell started

econd Hogan commenced to try to
Ieep Gradwell off by jabbing. but
lie latter fought inside Hogan's
nard and commenced landing the
Jams on the nose that became
kmost continuous as the fight pro-
kessed.
lin the third round Hogan was

bow in the breaks. He was warned
