KELLEHER GOES
INTO DREAMLAND

With Jimmy Murphy heading the
card with point victory over Jack
Egan. OF South Boston. the Defiance
Athletic Association put over one OF
the best all-around smokers that
has ever graced the boards in VIII
mington. last night at the Pythian
Castle.
Murphy was forced TO extend him
self in the second and third stanzas
as Egan was right after him every
minute. exchanging blow for blow.
But the boy who got his fstic start
in Wilmington waded into the fourth
round and gained the points that
gave him a shade. The bout went
only four rounds. Egan substituted
for X. o. Al Brown. Of Philadel-
phia.
The eemi-windup affair was three
rounds Of sensational milling, with
flank McGovern, Of Port Richmond.
slight winner over Tommy Cor
man, Of Kensington. In an extra
bout of three rounds. Young Mullen.
Of Kensington, fought Willie Nc
Closkey. Of Port Richmond to a
draw
The only tame affair on the pro-
gram was the bout between frankie
Lewis. of this city, and Joe Neeson
Of Chester. Lewis has been suffering
from an injury received in the
frankie Erne bout several weeks age
and although he was confident OF
taking Neeson across he only man
aged to draw with the Chesteritc.
A big surprise OF the evening was
the slashing bout between Jack
Reeder, OF Defiance. and Buckley
McGinnes, which resulted in n very
slight shade for the Tenth Ward lad
Reeder is not a polished fighter, but
with an advantage in weight man
aged TO win by outslugging McGin-
nes.
The only knockout Of the evening
came in the first bout when Battling
Barnes added Danny KelleherAto his
list He sent n series Of left jabs
TO Kelleher's jaw in the second ses-
sion and followed up with a right
hook that sent the Edenite to dream
land.
A battle royal following the wind
up was one Of the real features OF
the card. Young Kid Williams man
aged TO Outright three other gentle
men OF color, and in doing so took
an awful lacing himself.
George Null refereed the prelim-
inaries and Jack MCGOWAN acted in
the windup.
Rev. Father Francis J. Tucker
made a most interesting address. and
was roundlx ann1auToa la, tho bo,,co
which numbered around LOO.
Special mention should he given th'
musical end OF the smoker, which
was by far the most entertaining evei
given here. The applause for tn,
various performers was as great al
that given to the boxers. and De
fance takes this means Of extending
their thanks TO all who assisted.

on all these teams the dogs are hot

But ono and an. they play a pret-

Always try out for the bacon just
