He caught Stewart off balance in the firet round and dropped him with a little left hook on the chin, #0 quickly delivered in a mix-up that few of the spectators saw it. In the be- @inning of the second round he hooked another left to Jim's lower maxillary, ha snap in the punch fairly upset and dropped to the floor on his hand and one knee. Everybody sat up and began to take notice, Kennedy, pushing his advantage while the Brooklyn heavyweight was Still feeling the offect of the knockdown punch, stepped quickly in and hooked left after left. Stewart, grinning, heid his right hand high, with open glove, and blocked. Then Kennedy jabbed straight and only occasionally tried the hook. -1t &@ great punch, neatly de- Mvered, and very much like the once famous “corkacrew” used by Kid MoCoy.

Once when the top of hie banget aaainst Stewart's chin Jim's teeth came Sogether with a click that could be heard in the galleries. Kennedy did quite @ little hold! To offset this, Stewart used the sane tgick he used against Morris, dropping his own hanis to his sides, twisting free, and driving im a flerce uppercut with either right or left. Some of these blows, that Ken- medy happily dodged, would have lifted him over the ropes if they had landed. It was the fastest fight between big men seen In many a day. They fought @very second of the time, and at top apeed ab the way, more like feather- weights than heavyweights. ‘CARNEY, manger of Luther McCarty, who was down in Pennsylvania training for his Wednesday night tight against Logan in Philadelphia, sat at the ringside and took in every movement. “I think Mc- Carty could outbox and outpunch elther of them,” he confided to me after t end of the tenth., “ile's go! the winner of the Wells-Palzer pout, and then you'll see how he can fight. He's only twenty, but he knows at Yeast as much about fighting as these fe@lows, and he's built for figiting in every way.” MONG those introduced were Fred A Btorbeck of South Africa, a very likely looking heavyweight who ecales 1% pounds, Al Palzer and Bom- Dardier Wells were also placed in the Amelight. Humphreys introduced Palaer first, at which Bombardier Wells looked a little surprised. Both received much epplaur. from Europe a day or two ago with Storbeck, conversed interestingly when the fights were over, “My good- ness,” said Bob, “that fellow Palzer reminds me of Jeffries when Jeff came He looks an awful lot like ‘t he? Now, if he can fight the way Jeff did in those days" — “Could Jeff fight?’ queried a bystander doshingly. “Could he fight?" echoed Bob. “There never was a man like Jeff when he came here. Hit! Why, he hit me a little tap ‘on the ribs and paralyzed my whole aide. He didn't have to move that left more than a few inches, either. Why, when Jett w @ whole ring full of Johnsons, People @on't give Jeff credit now, but he was ‘the greate: ring. If wanted to cut loose there never Was & man who could go ten rounds with him.

There ts a little story behind the black bat with which Beals Becker struck the telling blow that made Marquard a hero. For a month Becker has been unable to find a bat out of the hundred or more in the Giant clubhouse to suit him. They were elther too large in the handle or too small in the business end. He wanted one of his own design, and he told McGraw that if he got one he could break up some games.

MoDonald of New Mexico has his way there will be no heavyweight championship fight between Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn at Las Vegas, N. M,, on the afternoon of July 4, The Governor has just made an announce- vent at Adbuquerque, N. M., to the effoot that he is against the holding of the Yattle in that State, and that he will attempt to prevent it. This unexpected declaration is no doubt caused by the hundreds of letters he is receiving dally from church people, urging him to use hia influence to put a stop to the contest. While the Governor no doubt will make an effort jo have the mill called off, the chances Are that he will be un- sful, as there Is a law which per- mits of the holding of twenty-round con- tests in New Mexico.

BY BOZEMAN BULGER. BIG, black bat in the hands of Beals Becker nailed the name of Rube Marqugrd in the Hall of Fame and with a stick of somewhat Ughter hue Charles Cantcloupe Herzog came along and clinched it. To-day Marquard {s one of the three world’ record holders, having won fourteen successive games. The other two are Ed Reulbach of the Cubs and Jack Chesbro, formerly of the Highlanders. One more victory and the lanky left hander of the Giants will be in a class by himself. The chances are that he! will ascend to that lofty perch of fame, for his next start will be against Bos- ton. To win this fourteenth game for quard two hours of the pastime y day were crowded as full of %karat baseball as that period of time could etand. The crowd couldn't have stood much more without a collapse. In many respects this third and epooch- | making fight with the Pirates was the best rough and tumble, slam bang scrap ever staged on the Polo Grounds. To rt with, it broke all records for Monday attendanc The fans, who can't be fooled, had scented excitement in advance and by the thousands they flocked into the Brush Stadium, When the game was well under way 2,000 people had passed through the turn- stiles and all past figures had gone to smash.

To-day an attend- ance of 2,000 on Saturday is not ex- traordinary. On Monday, however, it was previously unheard of. GAME WAS LIKE A FIGHT FOR A TITLE. The attitude of the crowd as well as the players showed that an underot.~| jingles. rent of apprehension was straining at the nerves. It was like a battle for the world's title or a gi to decide a pennant. The m announcement of the names of Marquard and O'Toole brought forth roars of applause. Here was the $22,600 beauty picked of ail the Pirate to stop the onrush of the $11,000 rd and tear him awey from the world's record—which was almost in his srasp. The players fought ae if their family Jewels depended on the outcome, and so stubborn were their efforts that eleven innings were required to bring the bat tle to a climax, Those who did not witness this speo- tacular scuttling of the Pirate ship can hardly appreciate the nervous tension that gripped the immense crowd for more than two hours, and the happy re- Mef that suddenly followed the sate clouts of Murray, Becker and Herzog Harry Stevens {is avowal that he lost the fight went nip and ten pounds tuok to @ fin!
