nounced officially.
Louis White refereed the mill, which
was very interesting and snappy one
that decisions may be depended upon
to make the aspirants step their fast
est.
For the first four rounds the bout
was fairly even. Benjamin was the
better boxer Of the two and used a
snappy left jab to good advantage, but
at close quarters Hartley got in some
stiff body blows. In the fifth round,
however, Benjamin began to take com
mand. He jabbed Hartley's face and
mouth raw with the left and then
whipped terrific right to the body,
which made Hartley clinch and hold.
Benjamin Misses Chance
Benjamin followed with solid lefts
and rights to the jaw which made
Hartleys knees sag. The Californian
had an excellent opportunity to pu. is
man away right here, as Hartley was
practically out on his feet at one time.
But Joe became wild and missed every
opportunity after he had measured his
man, and Hartley by sheer gameness
weathered the storm.
Hartley was very much to the bad
again IN the ninth round and probably
was saved by the bell for the second
time. He wilted under a shower of
body blows, but Benjamin again over
looked e. fine chance because of his
wildness.
Inc last session was thriller in
which Hartley fought back like a tiger
every instant. In this round the Bronx
boy more than held his own, admins
terirg stiff body punishment to the
Californian. The judges very correctly
awarded the decision to Benjamin,
though the gallery inhabitants Kissed
and booed long and loudly.

England. and Young Andy CLANCY,
Baltimore's aspirant to the feather
weight crown. CLANCY weighed 1861
and Noble 1854 pounds. Kid Nc

Briton Lacks the Punch
The Briton proved himself very
clever and agile boxer, especially at
long range, but he seemed strange
and inexperienced at infighting, Nor
did he have the strength Of Clancy
and could i'll protect himself in the
clinches. Nor did the Engliahman
seem to have punch in either mitt
that would dent putty.
CLANCY had the Englishman practi-
cally out on his feet in the ninth
round. He caught the Briton with
stiff right to the jaw that rocked him
to his toes and then landed a series
Of hard lefts and rights to the body
But Charey didn't, or couldn't follow
up the advantage and by use of q
few \ k left jabs Noble was able to
weather the gale until the bell. AT the
end both boys were very tired. CLANCY
was awardt1l the fight, which he well
merited.
