 The last monthly smoker held in the Acorn gym was certainly a dandy, put we do not exaggerate in the least when we say that last nights entertainment surpassed all previous ones given by that popular East Side club
 It was interesting from the time Al Mccoy. the worlds champion middle weight, sounded the first gong until Slim Brennan told the fans, in his in inpitable manner. "to take all exits on going out, at the same time holding aloft one finger While champion Al Mccoy handled the watch his battery mate. Bat Levinsky, tol1ed the deadly seconds over the fallen battIers.
 The first bout was carded at exactly $40. bringing together Fighting DICK Miller and K. O. Moran, the champion grinder in the Salts Textile factory. The first round was Moran's by a wide margin The second round was even. Tn the third 1t looked very bad for Miller Moran repeatedly shot over a wicked left and it looked like a, gooa nightss for Fighting Dick. In the fourth and final round the fans were brought to their feet by a sensational come back on the part of Miller. Neither man would give ground and lit was sIam-bang, amid the plaudits of the crowd. until Al Mccoy pulled the bell An interesting occurrences during this bout was in the last round when Moran struck a hard one over on Miller. almost finishing him. a. sonorous blast sounded from the whistle on the Bridgeport Motor factory next door, bringing peals of laughter from every wag present. Moran got the decision on points.
 The second battle of the evening was a corker The participants were Dick Gill, from the North End, and Young Jimmy Snyder The first round was  peared to be very awkward and Gill hammered him at will. The last three rounds were different, however, Sny- der landing a terrific wallop with his deadly left time and again on Gill's nose The final round was a peach. Both boys were atfer a K. O., but it was not forthcoming Gill was mora clever and landed more blows. Shy der's wallops, however, were more ef- fective and the best we can say is g corking good draw
 l In the semi-hnaI we were handed a surprise as well Freddie Bosse re- ceived the first introduction and then came the surprise when Slim an- nounced ''we have with us tonight l Mickey Farrell from Canal street, New York; He lived up to his title and Bosse had one of the hardest fights of his career. Farrell has met Al Mccoy three times, twice securing a draw and losing the last bout, a. year ago. FNarre1 is very much on the style and calibre of Tom Sharkey, great on in fighting and rough house tactics.
 It was slan-bang throughout the entire bout with Farrell always anx- ious to get in close where he did dead ly work At the close of the bout Far reu was loudly cheered by the fans, who at the close of the evenings en- tertainment demanded that a return match be made between the two boys. Bosse was rather weary at the close
 of the bout but Farrell was much bet ter than at the start. At the start of
 the bout he was wheezing, owing to a
 broken nose Al Mccoy told the scrtbes at the ringside that the longer
 the bout went the better would be
 Mickey's breathing apparatus. This
 proved true and the gladiator earned
 a slashing good draw.
