 Sicgcr Wins Sizzling Bout.
 The bout between Root and Sieger was a sizzling one, being full of ac- tion from start to finish. The boys were very evenly matched. both being hard hitters and aggressive. Root packs a very heavy punch in his right, and he several times landed on Sic gers head. Sieger used a left to the face with good effect, and occa- sionally drove a hard right to the ribs. Sieger's best round was the ninth. when he staggered Root with a series of heavy rights and lefts to the face. the Clevelander being rather confused when he went to his corner at the end of the round. The judges agreed on Sieger as the winner. The decision was correct. as Sieger outboxed the Clevelander throughout and inflicted heavy pun- ishment in the last two rounds. Roots adherents found fault with the deci- sion. Kid Mcfarland was the ref cree. .-. ..- Kid Norfolk, who boxed Jack Ward, I followed the example of Sammy Sie- ger and turned over s2.5o0 of his | funds toward Ireland's poor children.
