between Sailor Walters and Spike KEEL
ly of Chicago, at the Coliseum on Fri
day night proved disappointment to
the followers of the sailor and the ten
round go was clearly a victory for
Kelly. The sailor was great favor
tie with the KenosAa crowd, but he fail
ed to deliver the goods and Kelly out
boxed, outgeneraled and outroughed
him IN the ten rounds of fighting.
The show was a big success and it is
declared that the gate receipts were
well over $4,000. The, preliminary
bouts were fully as interesting as
the windup and some sensation was
given to the show by the fact that the
ring collapsed during the semi windup.
No one was injured as result of the
collapse of the ring and McCue and
Kellar, who We're boxing at the time,
went on with their bout after a de-
lay of fifteen minutes.
Manager Evers Of the Cubs took a
front seat. Evers admitted that he
was just as strong for boxing as his
predecessor, Frank Chance, and that
he was here for a little relaxation
from his duties. Before the main bout
was pulled off the Trojan was intro
duced, amid rousing cheers. He smil-
ed and bowed. to the crowd, but the
cheering was so loud he could not
make speech.

Williams, opened the show by giving
Battling White Of Chicago an unmer-
ciful beating in four rounds. Six
rounds of exceptional milling was
staged in the second preliminary be-
tween youngster, Jack 0 'Keefe from
Chicago, and Jack Smith, another
water dog FROM the naval station, both
middleWeights. 1t was blow-for-
blow exchange from the first, but
Smith earned all the honors Of the
bout because of his superior ring
knowledge. This proved the best bout
of the evening.
Matty McCue of Racine, entertained
the spectators in the semi-windup with
his already famous right cross, Paddy
Kellar of Chicago going down with a
sickening thud in the third round from
q clip on the jaw from that ponder
Gus right. Kellar tried to outlook
McCue, but the Racine boy showed
symptoms of left hand and easily
Strengthened out Kellar. The latter,
when ne came to, was asked how he
felt and he answered that he was all
right, but wanted to know who trip
ped him.
