 "kiD kNoWLToN GETS DECISION l OVER BATTLING BRADLEY IN THREE DESPERATE ROUNDS. Especial to the Bijougram from
 the ringside.)
 "CUSHMAN STREET, April 24- After three rounds of desperate
 fighting Kid Knowlton won over ] Battling Bradley and Company. The 1 fight was a thriller from start
 to finish, the spectator being wildly excited and jumping into the ring just as Battling Bradley took the count.
 THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS. Round One-Battling Bradley was first in the ring. He talked to his packer and second as if he owned the earth. He seemed confident that he could get away with any
 thing. Knowlton entered the ring in an excited condition. According to
 the reports from the club where he ! trained the school-teacher fighter had blood in his eye. The men eX- changed few unpleasant remarks just before the gong sounded. At the sound of the gong, knowlton rushed Bradley to the ropes. The school teacher evidently intended to win by the use of geometry, for he brought his sturdy right in a straight angle against the face of his oppon ent, and thus proved that a straight line Is the shortest distance between two points. He also proved the old axiom that when two irresistible ob- jects going in opposite directions meet something is bound to happen. And something did happen. One of Battling Bradley's lamps went out
 Battling Bradley then tried to ram the bunch Of digits at the end of the ulnar and radial bones onto the cranium of Kid Knowlton. The KID ducked and the gong sounded KNOWLTON'S ROUND.
 Round Two-knowlton came up smiling. Bradley was puffing hard. The school teacher had the fight figured out according to the histori- cal dope. He remembered how Ma poleon had met his Waterloo after endorsements arrived and decided if he were going to win the fight he would have to win in d hurry. Said he to himself a square is equal to four right angles. He then squared himself and landed four rights on Battling Bradley.
 Battling Bradley had learned that before one performs a painful opera tion one must put the patient in an unconscious state. To do this one must paralyze the mind so the Bat Ter played for the Kids head, but Kid Knowlton had lost his head by this time and was doing the Ro- man Rush, originated by Julius Cae sar and before which all men fall. the wild animals in the arena as ROUND.
 Round Three-This was the fin
 sh. Kid knowlton started after Battling Bradley at regular Ro- man pace. Under ordinary circum- stances a Roman pace is equal to four feet 10 inches, but the Roman pace that Kid Knowlton set meas ured better than five feet II inches. There was no use for Battling Brad ley trying to overcome the Kid no matter how patient he was Sud- denly the Kid saw endorsements appearing on the horizon. Drawing | himself up to a Julius Caesar atti l tude he exclaimed in voice full of emotion, "Et Tu Company" and | promptly knocked the Battler through l glass door out of the ring.
