Noise Created on First Battle Cause.
Silence on Last Nights
Results.

New Orleans. July 15.-Following
a three-round battle between Miss Nc
Donald. of Mississippi and Miss Kline,
of Louisiana, students of the Tulane
Seminary, originating out of an argu-
ment as to the physical qualifications
of the girls of these two States. an
other mill was staged in the schooi
gymnasium last night between Miss
Stevens. of Louisiana, and Miss
Stevens. Of Mississippi
The stir which followed the news
of the first ring battle caused the
1.4o0 young women of the seminary
to take unusual precautions that the
result of the fight tonight should not
leak out, and IT was impossible to learn
who came of the winner.
The first bout arose when Miss
Kline is said to have stated that she
could lick any woman her weight IN
the South. Miss Mcdonald took II up
and IT was decided to test the matter
in the gymnasium.
