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

CEVEN months of hard training
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
Donnellys last night. Despite the fact
that Stew" was PANIED to fare
thee-well, I have seen many a worse
fighter in a local ring-and in main
bout, too. II it had been the Perry
that Atlanta fans knew year ago in
the square circle last night, l am sure
that Stew" would have at least stuck
out the ten scheduled spasms.
Donnelly should NO >e blamed for
the poor showing. Instead, Perry
should be given just credit for his
great work.
THE first right h. ID cross that Per-
ry landed the opening round
spelled defeat for Donnelly, yet he
fought back every inch of th~ way.
He didn't quit. l cont belir here
was another man in the who
would have taken the wallope that
Donnelly received time and again
blows that knocked him = the can
vas apparently out-at II climb
to his pedals.
1t simply was a b9 a because
no one was shrewd to notice
Perrys wonderfully l. owed 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
a 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 1t 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
crosses. Both of these landed fiush
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 six" and gamely climbed up
A right-hand smash to the head-it
was wee bit too high-sent him
down for a mine" But again he
Nay,rr
Here it was that Donnelly proved
he is possessed Of gameness, He tried

a right, and stew" Topped with
thud.
Ten minutes later the little brides
ceased singing and Stew" awoke,
9AoO richer than when he started.
DoNNELLY and Perry came 11,,., near Is n
night Instead it looked as though
they were going to have it out IN
"Stew's" dressing room.
stew" was working on percent
age basis He looked the $500 house
over and decided that he would nave
to have 500 in his pocket before nc
started. This was at first refused
him. He left the building, and II
took lot of talking on the part OF
Promoter Fox to induce him to re-
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 1t was case OF
either fighting in the ring or in the
dressing room.
stew" thereupon decided that he
might as we'll get some money for
the beating that was coming.
DAZZLING KELLY and Young
d Goldman went nine rounds in the
semi windup. They were carded TO
20 eight rounds, but the timekeeper
lost a period in his official count. It
was an interesting affair, with non
ors even. according to my view, but
the referee gave Kelly the decision.
Kelly probably would have won mad
he not been suffering with badly
swollen right hand,
Mike Saul refereed this bout Inc
crowd appeared to disagree with MS
decision. so Matchmaker Castro rem
6ered one. although he didn't see the
mill. Castro's decision was draw
New stuff.
IT'D WILLIAMS and Young Shep-
N ard went six corking rounds, win
ronors even. These kids have fought
half dozen times, and they furnish
real fireworks every time.
