ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

1867-Tom Allen and Joe Cans
fought 35-round draw in Monmouth
shire, Eng. This battle is of interest
because it was the first meeting of
the two Britishers who afterward
eInigrated to America and battled for
the championship of the New World.
1t was a desperate conflict, lasting
nearly hours, and both men became
so exhausted that they had to quit.
Shortly after this fight Allen came
to America, and fought his way to
the top, winning the American
heavyweight championship. Joe
Goss. who had twice been defeated
by Jern Mace, and also had fought a
draw with the champion, later de-
eided to follow Allen to America. In
1876 Goss challenged Tom to fight
for the American title. They met at
Covington. w. and Joe won on a.
foul in So minutes.
1s86-Freddte Welsh (Fred Hall
Thomas), lightweight boxer, born at
Pontypridd, Wales.
1888-Marcel MoreaG, French mid
dlewetght champion, born in Paris.
1892-Young Sinnet, Irish-Italian

COFFEY PUTS
PELKEY AWAY
IN 2ND ROUND

New York. March 5.-Billy csihson'a
prospective heavyweight champions
Jim Corey. the Dublin Giant. adj
vanced another step toward the title
last night at the FDa1rnont Athletic
club, when he stopped Arthur Perky
Of Chicopee, Mass, in TWO rounds
That the New. England boxer was not
knocked out was due to the action OF
the referee IN stopping the contest
when Pelky was a thoroughly beaten
man.
From the start up to the time PeTky
was practically knocked out with q
hard right smash on the jew there was
little question as to the result Cof-
fey was the master of the 8 situation,
and administered enough punishment
in the two rounds to ordinarily IN ten
rounds. He knew he had q hard-lait-
ting opponent In front OF him who
lacked science, and. keeping out OF
the way of wild swings and hard
punches for the body. was able to hit
his man almost at will
After the first few moments Of the
opening round Corey began his stin
left Jabs, which dazed the New ing
land boxer

ing brought together two Teddys
Hubbs of the Acorn club and Fsa-
bryck of Fairfield Hubbs was in a
serious predicament in the first and
likewise half of the second round but
at this stage Of the bout he braced up
and for the rest of the encounter he
made the suburbanite look like a
novice. It was his bout easily. The
usual cabaret talent was one hand but
the hit of the evening was the sing
ing of John McDonough, the Acorn
favor5te. After, repeated encores he
warbled one entitled, II Didn't Raise
My Boy to Be a Soldier The lat
ter song was an appropriate one and
the fans showed their approval by
almost raising the roof in their en-
thusiastic applause.

Cooking Chicken.
The age Of a chicken determines
the method OF cooking. A young
chicken is usually roasted in the
