He was a mighty good fighter. however, and had defeated Tom Molineaux, the America negro. The latter had once knocked out Cribb, but one. of the Englishman's seconds tricked the referee in the matter of time, and Cribb recovered and in the end knocked out the color ed man, breaking his jaw. When Don- nelly accepted "George's'' challenge he had never before fought in the ring. and his previous bouts had all been rough and tumble affairs Nev- ertheless the Irish sports backed him to the limit with their cash. Curragh in the County of Kildare, was chosen for the scene between the first great ring scrap between an Irishman and an Englishman, and on the morning of that fourteenth of September over century ago nearly 35, 900 spectators were gathered to witness the encoun- ter. It was a one-sided affair from start to finish. Hall soon found that he was no match for the powerful Hi- bernian. He went down repeatedly, but managed to stay through eleven rounds. Two minutes of the twelfth round had elapsed when Donnelly put

Lewis and O'Hagen were on. ponents in local ring several months ago, when the English boxer scored A chick knockout victoryS but during the recent racing season at Saratoga the men met again and O'Hagen is re- ported to have given a good account of himself

s'DAN'' DONNELLY HAD
 GREAT CAREER IN RING

Although the record of the worlds heavyweight champions does not in- clude the name of sir Dan Donnel- ley, that merry Celt is rightfuily en- titled to place in the rolls of great fighting men. Dan, a native of Dub- lin, was a carpenter until his twenty sixth year. It was 103 years ago to- day, on Sept. IA, 1874, that he fought and won his first ring battle. Boxing was just beginning to become popular in Ireland. Pugilism had attained a great vogue in England, and Tom Hall, who fought under the name of George" invaded Ireland and chal- llenged all the fighting men of ths

the Engiishman down for the count.
 Donnellys next battle was with George Cooper, another Englishman, in December 1915, and he was again the victor after eleven smashing rounds. He then went over to Lon- don, and in 1919 took on Tom Oliver, whom he defeated in thirty-four rounds, before an audience that in- cluded half the nobles of England. The Prince of Wales was among those present, and at the conclusion of the bout he jokingly "2snighted" the Irish fighter. From that time until his death, which occurred less than a year later, Donnelly was universally known as "Sir Dan" His popularity was attested by the fact that fifty thousand people marched in his fun eral procession.
