IN AMATEUR RING
Trinity Club Boxer Stops But
Ter in Second Round in Mad
ison Square Garden.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

Ben Butler. the, big, red haired
thumper of the Trinity Club, Brooklyn.
bumped into tartar at Madison Square
Garden last night in the person of Alex
Scliar, the Jack Dempsey of the anna
teurs. Scliar stopped Butler In A sec
onds of the second round.
In view of the fact that Butler de-
feated Gordon Munce. Metropolitan
champion. in bouts at the Trinity Club
last week, he was the popular favorite
to win over Scliar. Butler certainly
looked the victor for he put Scliar
down for count early In the frst round.
Scliar is nothing IL not game. and he
resumed the battle with vim and soon
sent Butler TO the canvas Butler took
the count, and got on his feet only to
be felled again. He was on the floor
when the bell ended the round
Butler was shaky when he reached
his seat and was wabbly when he came
out for the second round.
Sliar knocked him down three times
In quick succession and referee Forbes
stopped the bout.
A chocolate colored negro named Rob
ert Anderson greatly resembling the
late George Dixon, furnished the first
thrill of the night when he knocked out
red thatched Irish lad named John
Flood in the third round. Flood had
Anderson on the floor twice In the first
round. and once in the second
Anderson put up hot battle in the
third round and sent Flood down on
the back of his head He was uncon-
scious when he was picked UP by the
referee and lugged to his corner.
