Over Baltimore Boy Does Not Garry
the Title With It.

| and now comes a report that fully 500
women attended a battle between Bat

Andy Wright. at place called juno
ton Park, Pa, near Pittsburgh. Terry
won the contest in one round by the
| Knockout route, and the women thought
there was very little to it, as the man
knocked out was UP at the end of
eleven seconds, apparently no worse for
his trip to dreamland. It is said that
the only female to be affected by the
Knockout was Wright's girl, and she
nearly tainted at the thought of seeing
her best fellow put to the carpet. In
Milwaukee many women attend the
contests right along and seem to see no
harm in it.
