For the first six rounds Foley out- pointed Barry. Foley had height and He also displayed greater cleverness and rained lefts and rights on Barry's face. Barry took the punishment without a murmur. He retal- iated in kind and his blows seemed to have more force. . In the infighting Barry did the best work. The body blows took vitality from Foley and he slowed up materially in his work from the fifth to the tenth. In the tenth Foley landed three heavy rights to the stomach and Barry went back each time, but came back fast, and when the round closed they were at it hammer and tongs. In the eleventh Foley caught Bar- L e e R S o e Piles Cured Without the Knife. Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Piles. No cure, No Pay.

RELIMINARY to the champion- ship contest Harry Foley and Dave Barry, local welter-weights, fought eleven rounds; the former FITZ SAYS HE HAD TO GO AFTER JE ITZSIMMONS: I told Jim I was gone as soon as' I got that smash. It was a leit hook that did it—one of my own. The smash on the jaw that followed it did not hurt mte. I had to go in. If I'd stayed off he'd have followed me up and beaten my head off. He's always right after you. - He'd have killed Corbett if Corbett had . | fought him as I did. Jeff's a grand fighter, No one can beat him if I can’t—and I can’t. I thought I had him all the way along. I must have been doped in my first fight with him. I didn't see him after the third round then. My intention was, should I win the fight, to give Jeff the championship. I wanted it to go to some one who could hold it, and Jeff could. The eighth round, was it? A woman said I'd lie down in the eighth? I did, didn't I? Yes, my plans are all completed. I'm going back to my physical culture school at Bensonhurst and tend to the youth of America and build them up as I am. through the surging crowd to his dress- ing room outside the pavilion. Men press- €d in around him, uttering words of pralse and patting him affectionately on the head and body. ry a right to the body and followed it with a right upper-cut on the point of Barry's jaw, knocking the latter down. Referee Jimmy Britt stood over the fallen boxer and counted slowly. Barry arose at nine and Foley protested that Barry was out. Britt decided differently and sent the men together again. Foley went after the dazed man and landed heavy blows, send- ing Barry down again. Dave arose again and held on, but Foley shook him off and dropped him with a stiff clip on the jaw.

You made a great fight.” Bob jocularly expressed the opinion that the only way to put Jeffries out was with a sledge hammer, and some one re- plied that Fitz ought to be able to handle that implement to good effect. r. Cox was summoned. He said that Fitz's left thumb wds sprained and that he thought one of his right ribs was cracked.

The excellent manner in which Chief Wittman's men handleéd the crowds speaks well for the discipline in the depart- ment. Every officer did his duty and as a result few if any accidents were re- corded. The Mission station sent fifty men to guard affairs outside the arena. Six mounted policemen kept the crowds from getting too close to the entrance on Valencia street. Captain Anderson de- tailed his men in the right place and in- structed them to attend strictly to busi- ness. That the officers did their duty was evidenced by the manner in which the crowd was handled. Ticket-holders were formed into line and after their tickets were Inspected they were per- mitted to near the entrance. Detectives kept a sharp eye out for suspicious char- acters and no robberies were reported. Officers were stationed on surrounding housetops that overlooked the arena and no one was permitted to climb to these places of vantage. Policemen guarded the outside fence and prevented the small boy and his big brother from burrowing his way in. No one attempted to climb the tall fence and it is a fact that no one entered the arena unless he had the in- fluence of a politician or a ticket. | CHIEF WITTMAN PRESENT. Inside the structure Chief Wittman looked after affairs. The head of the de- partment was not in uniform, but he sat close to the ring and his experience aided kim materially in stationing his officers at the proper place. Officérs sat at every cor- ner of the ring. Captain Anderson had a seat near the steps and was ready to spring within the ropes at a moment's no- tice. The ticket holders in the gallery made no attempt to scale the wire fence | and enter the reserved seat section. They had a good view from their places and po- licemen stationed at various points pre- vented any such move. Perfect order was kept by the officers. There were no minor fights over seats to enliven the proceedings. The bluecoats aided materially in assisting the ushers to place tieket holders in their seats. Manager Alec Greggains made a ten- strike move when he visited the Chief of Police a few days before the fight to arrange for a detall of officers. Greggains thought. he would need the entire force, but as he was averse to paying $230 a man, as provided by the charter, he satis- fied himself with fifty. SEE THE FIGHT FREE. It dawned on him that he might receive good assistance from the men off duty by allowing them to see the fight without cost. Greggains then informed the Chief that if it was agreeable to him he would invite the men to attend the fight on con- dition that they come in uniform and help things inside the arena. The men he paid for, he said, could be stationed on the out- side. Scores of officers availed themselves of the chance and attended the contest in full regalia. 3 Chief Wittman was well pleased at the work of his men. He was delighted that notfing happened to spoil the evening's entertainment. Not an arrest was record- ed, and this speaks well for the order that was kept at the figRt. Despite the watchfulness of the men of the law, a small boy named Carl Lind, living at 1512 Bryant street, climbed a telegraph pole close to the battleground, and in his anxiety to see the contest caught holdof a live wire. He was thrown to the gfound and suffered severely. The boy was removed to the Railroad Hospital, where his injuries were at- tended to.
