Donohue had the best of the firat three rounds, Lut. in the fourth Price started in to knock the "Dodger" out, but failed, the police stopping the bout in the middle of the round, The judges agreed on Donohue, ‘The next pair were scheduled to box three rornds at catch weights. ‘They were Jack Kenny, of East New York and Jue Daly, of Ridgewood. The first two ‘rounds saw Kenny toying with Daly, but in the third he started for a knockout, and would have succeeded but for police interference, Both men agreed before the fight that the audi- ence should decide who was the winner. and the vote was Kenny's, ‘The last bout was @ six-round affair at catch weights, between “Ducky’ Smith and Charley Dyeycott.
