ny CHARLES F. MArHIsoN.

II is questionable If Jimmy Johnston
has discovered f1ghter capable of de-
throning Jack Dempsey, but he gave
1900 persons who gathered in the Fourth
Regiment Armory. Jersey City. last night
the most entertaining series of bouts
staged anywhere in recent months.
The troupe OF trained burlesque boxers
that have been schooled by Johnston for
the past few months gave an exhibition
that drove the onlookers to hysterical
laughter and gave full return in merri-
ment for every cent taken at the gate.
After the funniakers had done their
turns the two best men in the class
Jonathan Rockerfellow of Long Island
City and Mickey Collins of Jersey City
were put on against two negroes who
were not novices by any means. Rocker
fellow stopped Chesterton Andrews.
210 pounder. In two rounds. but Smoke
Jones gave Collins n hard tussle for
six rounds. the white boy winning by
shade.
Jerome Quits EARLY.
Barney Feintuch Of Brooklyn, a tall.
short work Of Steve Jerome of New York
who scaled 1S5 pounds. Harry Ertle,
the referee, stopped the slaughter after
2 minutes and 40 seconds Of the first
round. Jerome was fat, fair and
fluffy young man with long corn colored
hair that topped up and down as he
boxed. He was an extremely good ma
tured youth with jovial smile that
did not leave his face until Feintuch
landed smash on his opponents jaw
that made his wavy locks dance vio-
lently and his eyes to dim. Jerome
seemed to be 10 years OF age and looked
as though he fed on cream puffs and
lolly pops. When he had been suffi-
ciently pounded he was led to his cor
ner by the referee and said as he tried
to catch his breath
"Feintuch's a tough bird. ! can't go
no four rounds. l got enough In one
round. Good night. No more fighting
for me-"
Next came Joey Nelson of New York.
1872 pounds, and Herbert Link whose
appearance clearly indicated he was not
missing. Link was also in evidence at
the end of minutes and 10 seconds of
the first round. He was the victor by
a Knockout, as Nelson, who had been
pounded to a state of submission. was
Link knew too much for Nelson. He
is a tough kid" said Nelson, explaining
his defeat.
Referee saves Corbett.
Eddie Sullivan. railroad fireman of
Jersey City, entered the ring with Frank
Corbett of San Francisco. Announcer
Humphries called attention to the fact
that the young man from the coast had
dark hair. the same as Jim Corbett, but
lacking the pompadour effect. AS the
fight progressed II was apparent that
the color Of his hair was the only re-
semblance that Frank Ccrbett bore TO
Gentleman Jim. Corbctt swung with
his right constantly and had no defence
for his jaw or his body. sullivan landed
his left or the jaw with staggering
effect and pumped rights 10 tho body.
The third round was bali over when
sullivan shot Il right TO Corbctt's heart
ard the Californian doubled. dropped
his hands and walked out OF the danger
zone. Ertie. who dld not propose TO
have any Of the ncvicos hurt. stopped
the combat.
Mn koy Collins. ring rame for Henry
Biel. n member OF the Jersey city fire
department. walked into the ring wear
ing n shock of fiery red hais. cut POM
padour. and fierce expression of coun-
tenance. Collins weighed 1s3 pounds aud
his opponent. Dave Rohls OF New York.
scaled 1875 pounds. Collins knew al
together too much about boxing Tor
Rohis and soon had his man backing
away under the impact OF heavy shots
to face and body. As soon as Rohls re-
allied he was in tho wrong aisle he

private life.
