AY (Special to The Evening World.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 1.—There was a terriue wattle here last might. Robbie Fitzsimmons, a rude, rough prize-fighter, hit Connie Cough- Wn, an Irish gentleman, real hard three or four times at the Washington | Sporting Club, and mussed his hair. | Oh, fudge, it can't be true? But, it 1s, and Connie might have been hurt | wal bad, if Mr. McCormick hadn't taken a towel and thrown it right into the ring, right at that horrid Fitzsimmons's feet, and called out to Mr. Rocap, the referee, to make him st2p hitting Connie. M’CORMICK TO THE RESCUE, jow you make him .stop,” said Mr. McCormick, and then he climbed right into the ring and pushed Connie into a chair and brushed his hair | » where that horrid Fitzsiinmons had musseti it. Those prize-fighters are such rude, horria things, anyway, and it gerved Connie right for having anything to du wah them. Perey Dewdrop and Harold Sappy say they wolt have anything more to do with Connie because he associated withystich rough oven, and they &re going to blackbal! him at the next pink tum purty.

He made a liar out of the printer who set up the word “fight.” The opening ; sound of as pretty a farce-comedy as was ever handed out in the boxing line} saw the end of the “fght.”” Coughiin’s only excuse for being In the ring at all was the fact that he had on a pair of tights and had his hands covered with boxing| gloves. Even his seconds couldn't stand for this excuse for a whole round, and! tossed a towel into the ring. It's a waste o good paper and Ink to try and} @escribe a fight that was as far from being a fight as a Chinaman ts from being @n angel. GOOD MONEY PAID, TOO.
