JIMMY PERRY
PUTSDONNELLY
AWAY IN THIRD
"Stew" Either Had to Fight in
Ring or Take Beating in His
Dressing Room.
By w. S. Farnsworth.

= has worked wonders on Jimmy
Perry, and to day he is just about
as good as any man of his weight
145 pounds-as there is in the fisticuff
game.
The Perry that stopped stew"
DOnnelly in the third round Of a one
sided affair at the Georgia Athletic
Club last night was far from the
Perry that had displayed his wares
heretofore. Every muscle had been
cOmbed his skin was of that healthy
pink hue that pronounces perfect
physical condition; his boxing was
immense; his hitting ability has i'm
proved 100 per cent.
Perry could have whipped a dozen
Donneliys last night. Despite the fact
that stew" was PANIED to a fare
thee-well, | have seen many a worse
fighter in a local ring-and in Il main
bout, too. If it had been the Perry
that Atlanta fans knew a year ago in
the square circle last night, | am sure
that Stew" would have at least stuck
out the ten scheduled spasms
Donnely should not be blamed for
the poor showing. Instead, Perry
should be given just credit for his
great work
THE first right hand cross that Per-
Try landed in the opening round
spelled defeat for Donnelly yet he
Fought back every inch of the way
He didn't quit ! cont believe there
was another man in the club who
would have taken the walIops that
Donnelly received time and again
blows that knocked him to the can
vas, apparently out-and still climb
to his pedals.

no one was shrewd enough to notice
Perry's wonderfully improved condi-
ton
During the first round Donnelly
held his own He stood up and in
his own awkward manner slugged
with Perry, Twice he broke out of
Clinch with wicked pivot blows that
made Jimmy vince. He tried this
same unfair punch again just before
the bell, but he missed Perry.
However, he didn't miss the genial
Count Castro, referee. and the South
American gentleman stopped it clev-
erly-with his stomach A grunt was
the receipt for the blow and laugh
for the crowd.
In the second round Perry had
solved Donnelly and had little trouble
in shooting over two wicked right
crosses. Both of these landed flush
on the jaw and Donnelly took the
count Of nine both times,
A right uppercut to the chin at the
opening Of the third round practically
ended the fight. Donnelly dropped,
took a six" and gamely climbed up.

was wee bit too high-sent him
down for a nine But again he
surprised us all by getting up.
Here it was that DonneIy proved
he is possessed of gameness. He tried

right and stew" Topped with a
thud.
Ten minutes later the little brides
ceased singing and Stew" awoke,
800 richer than when he started.
DONNELLY and Perry came near
II not meeting in the ring last
night. Instead 1t looked as though
they were going to have 1t out IN
"Stews" dressing room.
stew" was working on percent
age basis. He looked the $500 house
over. and decided that he would nave
Ia have 500 in his pocket before he
started. This was at first refused
him He left the building, and II
took a lot Of talking on the part OF
Promoter Fox to lnduCe MN 10 le-
turn Also the hundred.
Perry heard that Donnelly threat
ened to run out He rushed into the
room OF his opponent and gave him
to understand that it was case o.
either lighting in the ring or in the
dressing room.
stew thereupon decided that he
might as well get some money Tor
the beating that was coming.
DAZZLING KELLY and Young
ID Goldman went nine rounds I'm the
seni-windup. They were carded to
go eight rounds. but the tmekeeper
lost a period in his official count. 1t
was an interesting affair with hon
ors even, according to my view, out
the referee gave Kelly the decision.
Kelly probably would have won had
he not been suffering with badly
swollen right hand.
Mike Saul refereed this bout. The
crowd appeared to disagree with MS
decision. SO Matchmaker Castro rem
dered one. although he didn't see the
mill CastrOs decision was draw.
New stuff.
TTD WILLIAMS and Young Shep-
n ard went six corking rounds, WIN
donors even. These Kids have fought
half dozen times and they furnish
real fireworks every time.
Billy Hooper was too big for
SHEPARD Thomas and stopped his dark
brother i'm the third round Of a peaChy
