Quinn appeared the stronger in this
round and also in the early part OF
the third. His punches seemed to
have more steam but had little effect
upon his adversary.
In Good Condition.
Both men were in perfect condi-
ton, and were hardly warmed I'D
when the bout was over. Quinn was
over his jolt in a very few seconds,
and could easily have continued the
fight. Dennis failed to go to his cor
ner, as had been agreed beforehand
in case either man went to the floor,
and attempted 20 stand over his adj
yersary, Directing to the slow count
ing of the referee, who made certain
before ending the bout that Quinn
had 10 full seconds on the mat.
Calls Bets off.
The referee, Capt. Giassford of the
1st Field Artillery, announced the
match as draw and that all bets
were off. When asked why this an
nouncement was made he stated thar
he saw some civilians passing money
in the grandstand before the bout and
talking about bets that had been
made. He did not know positively
that any bets had been made, but
to be on the safe side called the match
a draw. Bett'rg is against the law

enjoyment than anything else.
1t was an impressive sight to see
these two big, powerful men in the
ring, both perfect specimens of the
best physical development and train
ing. They contrasted strongly with
the smaller men who had taken part
IN the previous touts. They both put
up a clean, sportsmanlike exhibition.

Infantry, one of the most popular men
and best all-round athletes in the regi-
ment Edward. Dennis has just been
discharged as corporal from the

Fort Kamehameha.
1obrouskl is Disappointment
The semi-finals. six-round match
between John Bobrouski of the Coast
Artillery and Willie Montgomery of
Battery G., LIST Field Artillery, was
too slow to be interesting or exciting.
Bobroush gained great reputation
in the Philippines, and those who saw.
him Saturday, who had seen him box
before in the islands, expressed
keen disappointment in the way he
handled himself. 1t is safe to say
that he did not hit Montgomery once
in the six rounds, except for a few
gentle taps in the clinches. Mont
gomery pushed the fight from the
start but did not have steam enough
In his punches to give his adversary
