Freeman and Settles are from K Com

little scrap.
Settles had Freeman outpointed in
the first round and knocked Freeman
down. In the first part of the Sec

before the round was over the worm
had turned and Kentucky Chap had
bitten dust following one of Free

In the third Freeman's stock went
way above par, and in the fourth he
knocked Kentucky Chap down twice.
The. second time he failed to rise,
and two unfinished rounds were
stricken from the afternoons enter.

There was no stalling in this af-
fair, as is often the case when both
men are from the same company. It
was clean and clever fighting from
beginning to end and afforded an i'm

lie Blanc and Roberts Meet. Again -. ..
For the second time Joe LIE Blanc of
Battery e, and Dewey Roberts of the
1st Field Artillery Band fought six
rounds to draw. These are two game
and clever little scrappers, and kept
the big crowd wild with excitement.
On points LIE Blanc probably had a
little the best of the scrap. Roberts
hung on too much in the clinches, q
habit he has acquired since his last
appearance.
Some of the Others
Not many of the other seven bouts
are worthy of more than but short
mention. In the first event of the af-
ternoon William Fitzgerald of F. Com
pany, 1st Infantry, outpointed Maurice
Curtin of e Company of the new 32d
Infantry, in four round bout. Ignatio
Latado of Battery G waded through
four rounds with Anthony Shan of K
Company, 1st Infantry. Latado was
the better man throughout, and would
easily have put his opponent to sleep
had he had the requisite punch.
Latado is a clever boxer, but will
never get a knockout to his credit.
Shan put up very game fight against
Latado, but was never quite strong
enough or clever enough to gain the
ascendancy.
Julius Bames was knocked down in
every round Of his affair with Clemens
White. Bames would never give up,
seeming to have an unlimited capacity
for punishment. In the fourth the
referee decided that he had taken suf-
ficient and sent him to his corner
Both of these men are from K Com
pany of the 25th.
In the next number George White,
weighing 1870 pounds, defeated Jack
Johnson, who weighed in at two hun
bred. Both men are from the 25th In
fantry. Following this, Warren Foster
of E Company, 25th Infantry, put it
over Arthur Mason of l. Company OF
the same regiment, in three round
affair In the third Mason received a
pelt in his bread basket that caused
him to give up all idea Of guarding
his physiognomy, and to hug his stom'
ach with both arms. Foster took ad-

the curled-up Mason with a rain Of
blows. The latter tottered to his cor
ner and threw up the sponge. It Is
presumed that Mason had too much
tiffin and probably not sufficient
training.
Eddie Thompson of H Company,
25th Infantry, mixed it for three
rounds with Alexander Zeno of E Com
pany, same regiment Zeno was prob
ably the cleverest of the two but was
outweighed twelve pounds, and his
cleverness failed to stand up against
superior weight. Thompson was
easily the winner.
Just before the semi-finals two cav
alrymen stepped into the ring. They
were Martin Griffin of D Troop and
Ralph DeMott of E. Considering the
former reputation of these two miIlers,
it was not much of a scrap, and the
crowd was saved two rounds of ennui
when Martin broke his hand in the
