fight at the football game between
the Beverly Red Jackets and the
Viola A. A. at the formers grounds
in this city.
The Camden team, which is COM

with Kerns and Corrado among the
rooters. Both are reputed as ex prize
fighters and both were under the in
Auenee of liquor.
Throughout the first two periods,
there was interference from Kearns
at every play when the Red Jackets
were headed for the goal, and at the
beginning of the third period, with
the score 6 to 0 in favor of the Viola
Club, Beverly let loose and were
within few feet of scoring when
the two fighters again interfered
and started to clean up the team.

hand and placed Kearns under ar
rest. Then the fun began.
Meet All Corners
Kearns was laboring under the i'm
preston that he could lick all comers
and started on Burns, but Jack was
out to get his man and get him he
did, exchanging blows for at least
five minutes with the scrapper and
when the Kern's followers saw their
idol getting licked, some one struck
the officer with an umbrella, opening
a cut over his right eye that requir-
ed three stitches. This was the signal
for a free-for-all. Chick Holmes, who
was an onlooker, was suddenly sur
prised by sound right to the jaw,
and was more surprised to find that
one of his former teammates of the
Camden base ball club, was back of.
the delivery and for this one blow,
Chick returned about ten, putting his
man out of the fray. y

pair of badly discolored eyes.
