14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1897. RAWKIY STRPHSED (ONOLLY A Contest of Fourteen | Rounds of Sharp and Scientific Hittine, ; | NEW BRUNSWICK MAY V.RY CLEVER | Dal’s Superior Strength Told Against That of His Lighter Opponent. KING WAS AN EASY MARK J0E Tom Lansing of Louisville Had No Trouble in Stopping Him in Three Tame Rounds. The fizht between Eddie Connolly of New Bruaswick and Dal Hawkins of this | son it was a battle for bloo 1, as there was no love lost between the men until the result determined that Hawkins was the better man. Hawkin< and Connolly entered the ring | simultaneou-ly at bhalf-past 9 o’clock. Hawkins' seconds were *“‘Spider” Kelly, Shariey Gleason and Teddy Alexander. Connolly wa- backed by Tim McGrath, Jim Neal (former.y manager for Haw~ kins) and Tom Lansing, who had just won ti e preliminary. Connolly was introduced by the an- nouncer 48 the light-weight champion of New Brua-wick, and Hawkins as light- weight champion of the Pacific Coast. Owing to an injury to his back Buly De- laney could not act as referee, and the principais then chose Frank Carr. The principils agreed to break away clean, without bitting, in the clinches. The men bad vardiy shaken hands after the gzong sounded for the first 1ound be- tore they sailed 1nto each other with both hands. Hawkins received some terrific lefts in the face and returned with a right on Cennolly’s left eye that almost closed that optic. Connoiiy put his left in hard twice over the heart and ducked cleverly from ssveral vicious swings. Hawkins had the best ot the round. In the second Hawkins opened with a | straight left, which Conuolly ducked. He tried left swings, which al<o failed to con- nect. The men stood (ff, sizing each oth-r up, and would then rush in, swing- ing both arms. Hawkins ianded a territic right on the bead and a short leit jav on the jaw. Connolly put in a terrific leic swing on the jaw and followed with a straight rigut on the head. Connolly | rushed Hawkins to the ropes and swung his lett on the head. As Hawkins crowded awav to the middie of the ring Connoily putin another nard 16it on the jaw. Con nolly had much the best of the round, and the crowd yelled with delightat tne clever exnibition by both mexz. In the third Connolly landed his left on the jaw, but with no force. They ex- chansed some long-reach punches withou material effect. Counolly bit Hawkins with h'sright free in a clinch and grace- fully said, “Excuse me.” Hawkins over- reached aright swing and then landed a straight 1 fc hard on the mouth. He tried asother ant Connolly ducked. They ex- changed & number of rightand leftswings at long range, ciinching. Connoliy put in a‘c with his right on the jaw just before he bell sounded.

In another rush their heads came together, which probab y bothered both men more than a blow would have | done, and made Connolly’s cut over the | furehead bleed more freely. Hawkins opened the eleventh with a left on the face. After several rushes and clinches Connoliy returned the compli- ment with a similar blow. Connolly missed a wild right swing, and later re- ceived a left on the nose from which he had failed to duck. Hawkins received several ~uff punches on the bodyv that made him grant. Connolly ended the round with a left swing on the jaw, but 1t did not seem to daze his heavier op- ponent. Connolly showed the most wear at this stage of the battle, his 1ace being con- | siderably cut and bruised. The oniy | margs Hawkins showed were on his | body. He was much sironger than Con- | nol.y, also. | Nothing happened until the middle of r‘ the twelfth round, when Hawkins rushed, ianding his ie t on the (0p of the head. Connolly shipped in trying to got away and went to the floor with Hawkins on | top of him. They got up laughing. Con- nolly put in several hard ones on the body and a short left unpercut on the jaw. Both men walked to their corners but lit- tle distressed in spile of the killing pace and hard hghting. In the thirteentn Hawkins again opened the ball with a straigut left lead, whicu, as usual, Connoily ducked and sent il | glancing’ over his shoulder. Connoliy | swuag nis lefton the heaa with consider- able foice. They exchanced hard iefi and right swings on ths head ut close range. Connolly ducked away fron. & wild rush and hen stoppet another rush with a straignt ieft on the face. Tue end came in the fourteenth, when the courageous New Brunswick boy met his Waterloo. A.ter several hard rusues, 1 wh ch bot: men landed frequently on the head and budy, Hawkins swung his left and it landed on the neck and jaw of his opponent. Connolly ciinched to save vimseif, but his arms relaxed tbeir hold, niis iexs wobbled and he sank to the floor, Hawkins belping him to sleep with an- otber jaw blow as he was going down ihat seemed entirely unnecessary. Connolly stayed down seven seconds | and then arose to his feet with his eyes L avout closel, absoluiely heipless. Haw- WAS ~ - LANDED THAT LEFT OME OF TH= FEATURES OF LAST NIGHT’S “PHYSICAL CULTURE" ENTERTAINMENT city at the Mec did notattr ing fratern e crowd, as the sport ¥ reason to believe | that st smacked of hippodrome, | Reports were circulated vesterday that | Hawkins was bookcd for a sure winner and that Connolly would give Hawkins the double cro The pambiers were nonplused. In fact | they did not know how to gamble, and as | aconsequence the betting in tne different | poolrooms was comparatively light. Hawkins sold a favor.te from start to | finish. The betting did not Juctuate in | the least. Hawkins sold for $10, while | Connoliy brouzh , and at these figures considerable mouney passed through the poolsellers’ hands. But a change came over the scene. At 7 J'clock last evening money on Connoliy | came in so fast that Crowley and Raggett | lookea wise and woandered what was | coming.. It was reported that Henry | Harris, Charles Quinn and Frank Brown, ail thoroughbrea sports who know a| thing or 1wo about horseracing, had ;com- | bined and invested $2300 on Hawkins to defeal Connolly at the udds of 8 to 7, with Connolly on tbe short end. This mcney was said o have been in ve-ted in Corbett’s poolrooms just pre vious to the time that the fighters were seid 10 have entered the ring and the amount was so large inat the Hawkins | people quit betting. At any rate the pools ¢ oged with Connolly a siight favor- ite, notwithstanding the bie wad of bene- fit money that was wagered on Hawkins | at the last moment. | The fight was unquestionably clever in | every particular. Connolly proved his | supeériori'y by exceedingly clever duck- | ine and a display of generalship which puzzled Hawkins lor severai rounds. The | local man 11ied time and agzin to land his | favorite r.ohi-band sw.ng on the jaw, but | the New Brunswick man was certuinly 1osted on opponent’s style of battle nd very cleveriy avoided jaw-breakers by | ducking away irom hand-smasbes by a quck (urn of the head and tuen clinching | .wavoid a return.

From the twelfth to the fourteenth, »tich was the last round, Hawkins haa 1aken Mr, Counoliy’> measure and con- itantly put left sud right on spots that were unguarded, with the resuit that Con- noily bent from the effects of a hard right- aand smash in the stomach, which was foliowed by a left swing on the jugular that ~ent 1he receiver to the floor, where he was counted out.

It was stand off, then rush in, swinging boil arms, in tue ‘ourth round, much the same asin the others. Neither man re- ceived much punishment in the fir-t part of tie round, most of the blows lanaing on the arms and body. Conuoly re- ceived a stiff one on Hawkins’ chest and body rosy from his frequent blows on those places. Hawkins’ left eve was a trifle closed. Hawkins opened the fifth round with a right swing intended which went zlancing over the New Bruns- wicker’s neck. Connolly ducked ntended to do him harm. Connolly slanted his left hard on the stomacha ouple of times and made Hawkins wince. {uwkins just scraped the top of his op- ponent’s head with a left swing. Cou- nolly, rushing in, met a stiff straight on the nose. Con- nolly’s clear, white skin was red il over | in spots from the blows he had received. Hawkins did not show the effects of the battle so much except on the chestand left side. After the opening rush in the sixth they exchanged half a dozen left and right swings at the head, windmill feshion. Hawkies put in his right hard on the face, and, trying again, founa that his man was not there. Connolly rushed Hawkins to theropesand in the exchange He rushed aguin and was met with a straigh. | leit on tue nose. Connolly’s ciean and pretty sivie of fizhting won him many rienas. T'his 18 not saying tnat Hawkins did not also fight fair, but he was not as ciever as his opponent. Not much appar- ent damage was done in thi< round. The feature of the seventn wasa right | swing that Connolly landed on Hawkins’ | juw, w. ich nearly stoppe. the Frisco lad. it was the only rood blow struck in the round. Connelly continued his clever duck- | ing tactics, geliing away every time from Hawkins' siraight and swinging lefts, Opening the eighth rouad, Hawkins put his leit straight on Connoliy’s m juth, and it rattled the youngster's teeth, He al~ogit in a leit swingon the neck, and 1a%r met one of Connoily’s rushes with another straicht left. Connolly got in some hard body blows, but seemed to have less steam bebind them than his heavier ovponent. Hawkins put in a | straight Jeit on the jaw, and found Con- noliy fighting back at him at the close of the round just as hard as ever. Connolly put in a hard left on the stomach at the beginning of the ninth, a sort of a half uppercut, ducking again and again from Hawking' left. Connol.y’s left shoulder was aimost raw from glanc- g blows that were intended for nis face. His left eye was almost black and half closed. Hawkinsshowed no facial marks, but his body was red from the waist up. Huwkins got in occasionaily on the face and seemed the sironger of the two. In the tenth they came together with a rnsh, ending in a clinch, withiout damase, Hawkins got in a hard left on the jaw, and put in a terrific leit swing over the eve that made a bad _cut from which Con- nolly bled ireel,.

The prelimina bout was between Tom Lansne oo L e and Joe King of this cily at caichweichts, each man veighing in at atout 165 pounds.

It took several minutes to bring him to, and Linsing was | awaied the fight by the referee, “*Spider’” Keliy. Connolly was seen in his dressing-room immediately after leaving the ring and said: “I baveno excuses to offer. I was in the best of condition and am willing to me-t Hawkins again at the same weight, weizhing at the same hour. The buti caused by our heads meeting in the tenth round troubled me considersbly. 1 went inio the ring weighing 131} rounds.” Altboush def-a Connolty took itin good part.

The Alaska Commercial Company Decides to Build Four New River Eoats. In the sense of selling vast quantities of merchandise San Francisco will be bene- fited by the .development of Alaskan trade, but a still more important advant- age is secured in the building ot ocean and river steamers to carry supplies to the points of destination. The faciiities possessed by the city as a manufasturing point are now apprec ated. ‘Three Yukon River steamers and sev- eral barges ordered by the Alaska Ex- plorat‘on Comypany will be constructed in this city. Iniac, the work is now under way. Yesterday men were employed to prepare the vacant lots on Spear street, just north of the Sailors' Home for aship- yard, where the steemers and barges will ve built. Large quantities of lumber have been purchased and will soon be on the buildinz grounds. The boats and barges will be construcied in sections and sent 10 Ounalaska, where Lhe sections wiil be fitted tog -ther and ihe wachinery put in. From that point the barges will be towed 10 the mouth of tne Yukon, adistance ol 700 mes.

AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC, The Jubilee Commitice Needs Finan- cial Assistnace to Make the Cele- bratios a Suce A special meeting of the general com- mittee of the California Golden Jubilee was held last night at the committee rooms, Palace Hotel.

J. Parsons, chairman of the executive committee, stated that 1t was necessary for the general committee to obtain finan- cial assistance. runds, he said, were backwaid in coming in, and as the time was getting short it became essential to take immediate action in this direction.

The Latter Blamed for the Large Number of Escaping Criminals, It Will Be Recommended That Bonds Be Issued for Improve- ments. To-day the Grand Jury renders its final report and a few of the officials of this city will feel surprised, if not angry, when they see the conients of that report. The present Grand Jury has been more thor- ough in its investigation of city affairs thar almost any of the juries that have preceded it, and iis report will be more exhaustive than any t.at have been ren- dered for years past. The most interesting portions of the re- port that will Le handed to the presiding Judge of the Suverior Court to-day will relate to the Police and Fire departments, which have been subj-cted to more than usual scrutiny. It is the treatment of the Police Department .y those who are in a measure responsible for its conduct that has brought out a sirong expression from the Grand Jury. The action ot the Supervisors in ignor- ing the demanas of tne department for a greater appropriation are treated at length and an appeal is made to0 public spirit and patriotism to maintain the de- pariment on a par with the police depart- ments of other | rge cities. The severest cou.ment, however, falls on the Police Courts, which are charged | with being resronsible for the escave | from justice of many felons as well as | scores of petty offeuders who have been taken into custody by the department. The jury tound that iully three-quarters of tne persons arra gned in the Police Couris were “dismissed” from custody by order of tue Poiice Judges. The general conduct and efficlency of the department, as well as iis personnel and ihe methods of bookkeeping are com- mended and the main recommendation is toat the city own ali of the properties used as station-houses, The Fire Depa-iment is treaed of at length, the manuer of its handling by the Chiet and commission being spoken of in a favorsble manner. Tue principal rec- ommendation isthat tue department be placed on a fuliy puid basis in order to ai- ford beiter and greaier protection to the tax-payers who maintain it. In all there are niv~ieen committee re- ports and special ¢ff rt will te made to have them incorporaid in the municipal reports when the same are next printed.

The Pacific Coast National Medieal Buresu for Co.lection and Information has incorpo- rated with a capital stock of $150,000, all of which has been subscribed. The obj:ct for which the corporation has been formed is to Art Association and the Pro- posed Mardi Gras Ball. In Freparing a Ballot to Test the Sense of Members the Issne Was | Not Clearly Defined. “'Shall we have a Marde Gras ball?’ is | the question that now agitates the San Francisco Art Association. It transpires | | that :our or five of the directors are in | | favor of the ball, but Horace Platt, presi- | dent of the association, is slightly op-| | posed to the function. It is said that Mr. Platt is piqued because some oi the so- ciety ladies ot acknowledged leadership did not attend the last annual ball, aithough they had previously assured him that they would not only attend, but would in- duce others to be present. ‘When the subjectof g.ving another ball this season was under discussion at a meeting of the board not long since, it was observed that a majority of directors favored the provosition. It was thought advisable, however, in order to test the sense of the membership, | to ask each member to vote on the sub- | | | | ject. Ballots were accordingly prepared | by tne Secretary and sent to the mem bers. ‘Through some inaiverienc: there was at- | tachet to the bultot the option of sub- | scribing for tickets, so ‘he ballot reads: | | “Mark Hopkins’ Institute of Art. corner | Calitornia und Mason sireets, I vore — ! on the question of holding a Mardi Gras | ball this year. I will subscribe for — uckets at $5 each, inciuain the Mardi Gras ball.” The chairman of the committee, Mayor Phelan, said lest evening that it was'in- tended 1hat the option of subscribing for tickets should be independent of the gues- | tion whe ier the bail was desired. Pernays | some members of the as-ociation, on ac- | count o! family bereavement or absence, may desire tue tali for he good of the association, bu: may rot be able to attend. It s possible that some one is trying to do politics in joiring 1ogether the (wo propositions, but it is hoped that all mem- bers wili vote on the main question, “Shall | there be a Mardi Gras bail?’ LICHI NUIS.
