been ruled the favorite. but as the
bout progressed the betting END
turned to McVeigh. whose clever tao
tics on the whole earned him the de-
cision. A left jab with a good punch
TO the stomach now and then enabled
McVeigh 70 obtain lead almost on
the outset, and. although GradweH
battled hard throughout TO even up
matters, he failed TO connect enough

zion and did well enough to score
few points. His left Jab worked well
and he was the aggressor by shade
IN clinches. McYeigh's best rounds
were the fifth and sixth He changed
bis style somewhat and used a right
to the wind, so often that GradHeli
was in bad at the bell. Gradwell en-
deavored to even matters In the sew
enth, but the lead attained by Nc

good punches to both jaw and strn-
ach. The remainder Of the bout was

New York State Athletic Commits
-
yesterday afternoon and suggested
that the commission use its influence

fort TO curtail the practice Of hold
ing more than two ten-round bouts

gest that the commission prohibit
the practice, but expressed the
thought that the promoters could be
brought together at the next meet
ing and discuss the plan. The mem
bers of the commission and Charles
]. Harvey, the secretary, for years
identified with the sport both in
this country and abroad. thought IA
vorably OF the plan.

Supreme Court yesterday and de-
clared that Fitzsimmons was a resi-
dent of Dunellen, N. J., and should
