It was a good mill and everyone ap- preciated it. “Jimmy” Murphy certainly covered himself with glory. This boy will bear watching, don't forget it. In our midst last evening was that redoubtable trainer of alleged cham- pions, Mr. T. F. Gunning of Hartford. This fellow does not care any more for the spot light than a farmer does for a load of hay. When his part of the evening’s entertainment was over, he insisted on sitting on the stage where the calcium lights would play on him. Hereafter managers should hang his picture over the ring. “Young” McAuliffe of Bridgeport was introduced as one of the mext | participants in a coming show fn this city. Waltz of Hartford. “Ding” Prendergast entertained the crowd during the wait for the star millers, by his attempts to brace up the ropes of the ring. “Ding” holds the indoor and outdoor records as a bracer in this section. Charley Bergen was introduced and he challenged the winner of the Drummie-Medar bout. Our old friends George Mulligan and Joe “Kid” Shea were at the ring- side. Neither has lost any of their popularity judging from the reception they received. Manager Walsh showed that he in~ tends to conduct bouts along the prop- er lines, when he entered the ring and warned the “hoodlums” that the bouts would be stopped if they continued with thelr noise. Walsh has the fans and authorities with him in this. Joe Ryan has been signed by the matchmaker of the Liberty A. C. of Hartford to box Young Mack of Mer- iden in the preliminary of the Waltz- Ketchell bout in East Hartford on February 9. The boys met recently in this city. It was learned last evening that the { return match between Battling Lahn and Semmy Waltz is practically com- pleted. Jerome Hennessey one of ‘Pete™ Fitzgerald's proteges issued a chal- lenge to meet Waltz. He is a likely looking clean cut chap. Did you see the bell that 11 Kilby held? Some bell, it resembled the one that tolled off the sounds for the call of butchers for that noon day meal. selves often, to send home the right. The bout opened with both lads cautious and fiddling away for an opening. Medar did however suc- ceed in bringing blood from Drum- mie’s lips, with a jab, and the round several smashes to the wind. The latter was the most aggressive of the two, his judgment of distance being excellent and his continual boring in was far more effective than that of his opponent. The boys held each other on even the fourth round when by tion.

In this round the boys began to stick together like the ‘“Gold Dust Twins,” and it was necessary for Referee Willis to pry them apart. Drummie in this round hit Dave ra- | ther low, but the latter did not com- plain showing himself to be a gamo boy. The sixth round showed Medar to be some walloper when he rapped Drummie two of the hardest smashes during the fray, and Johnnie rocked from their effects. In the seventh ; round Drummie again assumed the aggressive and piled up considerable of a lead before the bell sounded. Fast work on part of both boys fea- tured the eight round, and in the anxiety to put across the decisive blow, they became wild, missing sev- eral fine opportunities. Medar got away at a fast clip in the ninth round but a number of his blows were cleverly blocked by his agile oppon- In one of the clinches that occurred in this round, Drummie sent home a vicious back hand blow which for a moment made Medar wince, but Dave came back for more, lead. A slight accident to Medar's ring attire caused a brief wait in between the rounds, and when he responded to the bell he appeared as the ‘“Un- masked Marvel.”" He appeared weary in this round, and hung on fast to Drummie until the patience of Referee Willls became ex- asperated and he stopped the mill to warn the boys about holding. Medar protested aided by his long winded ad- visor in his corner, but a gentle re- minder from Willis that he was the boss, ended the vocabulary of the pair. In this round Medar landed a telling mash on Johnnie's left eye which par- REDS GET INFIELDER LOUDEN.
