Nothing Like His Old Form, but Got ® Drawn Decision. ‘The 1,200 sports in Oakland Rink, Jer- sey City, last night who witnessed the boxing tournament of the Pastime Ath- lec Club might well have stayed at home, for they saw a very unsatls factory show. The management had secured three special bouts, the featur of which was that between Cal Me Carthy, who has not been seen in th ring since he was defeated at Coney Inland a few years ago by Bobby Burns, of Providence, in eight rounds, and Joe Craig, of the Scottish-American Athletic Club, Charley Johnston, of the Cable Athlet- le Club, and Tommy MeVey, of the Jersey City Athletic Club, were billed to meet at 115 pounds for six rounds. Neither knew anything about boxing, and they simply slugged each other all around the ring, McVey was lucky enough to land both fists a number of times on Johnston's jaw, Johnston be- ame groggy from fright and ran away McVey followed him and landed a swinging left on his jaw, which floored him, when he was counted out. Time— 1 min. and 66 sec, ‘The second bout was to have been be- tween Eugene Hornbacker and Joe Rey- nolds, at 125 pounds. Reynolds suddenly complained of being sick and said he would not fight. They sparred four welentific rounds. ‘Then came the bout between McCar- debate thy and Craig. A referee caused a lon) decided to accept Gi MeCarthy condition, an fon that there w 1 figh The crowd was sadly disappointe for the first rounds each seemed afratd of the other, Heginning the fifth round they warme and in a few blows, Mc Craig's body and fi ished his ribs and stomach heavily with right hand swings. McCarthy had about the it was ntly good ral opin- {dently forgotten how to box, as his leads for Craig's stomach were very wild and fatled to land fre- quently, “Had Cratg known the game, he would have followed McCarthy up ind would probably have knocked him out but, he used his elbow repeatedly on Cal's face and jaw, for which he was loudly hissed In the tenth and last round, Craig rushed at MeCarthy, but falled to land his swinging blow. "MeCarthy made no defense ‘nd seemed tired, The bout was declarec ‘a draw, McCa.thy's friends were sadly disap- pointed at his poor showing, and it Is safe to say that the McCarthy who fought a “seventy-round draw with George Dixon a few years ago, will n ver be seen in the ring again, as It was admitted by his friends that he has forgotten all he ever know about box- ing and is at present a " has been.” NICK MULLER GETS OUT.

When Boston pulled out in favor of Denver last year {t was understood that the Western con- tingent had been ged solidly to vote for the Beaneaters this year.
