A GLOVE CONTEST TOURNAMENT.
C. McLaughlin, of Treadweli and Kid
Gallagher, of Juneau Meet
With Gloves.
THE KID WINS ON A FOUL.i
Gallagher and McLaughlin came
over from Juneau on tho 4:45 l>oat.
There were also many others that came
on the same boat to witness the contest.
The 9:15 ferry from Juneau was crowd
ed and not a few bright women with
them to see the fun, for of late years it
is considered all right for ladies to at
tend glove contests. Of course Tread
well, the Mexican, Ready Bullian aud
Seven Hundred each sent a large dele
gation and by 10 o'clock it was pretty
lively around town.
The Standard was the principal ren
dezvous for the crowd, but they kept
comiug and going between that place
and the Douglas, where the exhibition
was to take place.
Tickets were in good demand at ?2.50
each, and a little after half past ten
ticket holders commenced tilling up
the chairs and benches around the
ring.
C. McLaughlin, one of the contest
ants, is a native of Florida, thirty-five
years of age, five feet ten inches tall,
and weighs 1(50 pounds. He has been
in Alaska for the last seven or eight
months and until a few days ago was
employed at the Ready Bullion as an
electrician. He came from Tacoma to'
Treadwell, and expects to soon leave
this place for either Atlin or Porcu
pine. He never engaged in a prize
fight or even a public contest with
gloves, except in the Athletic clubs
and gymnasiums in his native state,
lie is a pleasant appearing fellow, aud
from the talk the News man had with
him we should say he is a man of edu
cation and refinement. Ho has known
his opponent for about two weeks and
there is no bad blood between them.
McLaughlin had for his seconds,
Smith, Broughtou and Hall, who are
also from Tacoma and personal friends
of his.
Kid Gallagher, the other principal,
is twenty-seven years of age and was
born at Nortouville, California. He
has been in Alaska for the past fifteon
mouths and has put in his time miuing
and prospectiug. He is five feet niue
and one-half inches high and weighs
but 145 pounds, being one-half inch
shorter and fifteen pounds lighter than
his adversary. The Kid has had con
siderable experience in the ring and he
has been, with only slight exceptions,
a dead winner. In all he has won thir
ty-seven contests, had three draws and
suffered one defeat, which was in 1896.
He was formerly sparring partner of
Dol Hawkins, who was a hard man to
beat in his class. The Kid, it will be
remembered, defeated Charley John
sou at Anaconda, Mont., iu 1893, Ed.
Burke at Butte in 1893, and Donver
Cyclone at Phillipsburg, in the same
state iu 1891. His last contest was at
Wallace, Idaho, with Dick Carroll, I
7 '
which resulted in a draw, after fifteen :
rounds, on account of his breaking
! some of the bones in his hand.
He was seconded by Jimmie Kelly,
Tim Conley and Theodore Carson.
THE RING
was eighteen feet square, roped, and
was in the back part of the large room ,
occupied by the Douglas Music Hall at!
; the corner of News avenue and First
I street.
At 10:45 the Kid made his appearance
in the hall with his overcoat on and
closely buttoned up. The crowd gave
him a hearty greeting by clapping of
; hands.
wniLE WAITING
the Standard Orchestra dispensed some ;
music that was very agreeable to the
large crowd that was seated and stand
ing around the ring. For a change one
of the Standard girls gave a skirt dance
that pleased the audience very much.
? The daucing was of the best while the
kicking was "out of sight." The crowd
clapped their hands and cheered in
such an enthusiastic manner that it
left no doubt of the appreciation of
this part of the entertainment.
At 11:40 the master of ceremonies
I
announced that a bout would take
place between the Dago Kid and John- j
' ny Smith. The Kid smiled while he
sat in his chair.
1st ROUND. Smith led with a
smart blow 011 the Dago's face and one
ou his head, and gets one in return.
Dago backs off and gets several iu the
face. Smith pushes the fighting and
shoves the Dago to the rope with a j
rush. Dago comes back with a stag- j
geriug blow ou Smith's face. Dago's
eyes show punishment. Round closes
with honors pretty even.
2nd ROUND. Kid gets a good blow
iu on Smith's face and Smith lands
lightly with hia left. Kid, bracing up,1
lauds on Smith's face, which gets red.:
I Round closes about even.
3rd ROUND. The boys jumped in- (
to the center of the ring and oom-;
menced pegging away in great shape, j
It was a hot number. They clinched
but on command broke away. Then
stood up and were more cautious and
neither made a good hit until round
! closed with honors even.
4th ROUND. Smith gave the Dago
a tap on the right cheek and following
up the blow rushed the Dago onto the
ropes in his own corner. Smith reach
ed for the Dago's neck and made a good
landing. Smith made another pass
with his right, but missed and fell j
down. Smith landed several blows on
the Dago's face and the round ended
with honors evou and Referee Johuuy
Clark decided it a draw, which was a
very just decission.
.At the close of the coutest between
the Kid and Smith some more skirt
dancing followed which was equally as
good as the first.
It was 12:15 when Kid Gallagher and
McLaughlin took seats in the ring.:
Gallagher had won the toss for cor
ners and took the one most distant
from the door. Jack Fletcher was cho
sen referee and each contestant named
a time-keeper.
"Shake hands," said referee Fletcher
and the two fellows advanced to the
center of the ring aud obeyed the or
der.
1st ROUND. Time was called and
the first part of the round was a hot
number. Both men got in their work
very rapidly. The Kid would tup Mc.
on the face and Mc. would return the
compliment. Both men landed good
blows on the face and body. One of
the latter near the end of the round
surprised Mc. very much. Honors
about even.
2ud KUUiNJJ. mc lunas wnu 111s
right 011 the Kid's face. He tries to re
peat but falls 6hort. Agaiu he lands
on the Kid and the Kid went down on
the floor and Mc laughed. Mc landed
hard on the Kid's head and for a while
just pouuded him on the head and he
seemed to enjoy it. They clinched juid ;
the Kid went down on the ropes. This
round was notorious for cliuches and
the referee had trouble in keeping
them apart. The round ended with
about an even show down, a little in
favor of Mc if there was any difference, j
3rd ROUND. Mc led the fighting
and the Kid was 011 the defensive. Mc
lauded on the Kid's face and he tried '
to retaliate, but his blow fell shod and
from the force of it he fell to the floor.
There wasn't much done in this round,
but such as it wg*#*lfHs in favor of Mc.
4th ROUND. Mc. lauded a body
blow with his right, then lauded one |
on Kid's face followed by two more.
The Kid slipped and fell under
the ropes. The Kid lauded good
and hard on Mc,'s face and afters fid-!
dliug round the ring and laughing the
round ended with honcrs even.
5th ROUND. Mc landed on the Kid's
face three or four times. He did some
flue flobr work in this round. The Kid
lands three good blows and Mo return
ed the compliment. Me was surprising
his friends with his shiftiness on the
floor and the work he was doing.
Oth ROUND. Mc landed on the Kid's
face. The Kid warm* up and lands
blow after blow 011 the head and face
of Mc. "Good,"says Mc and gave the
Kid a left jab in the face, and the
round ends with tilings nearly even.
7th ROUND. This round started
with pair of good taps on the Kid's
face by Mc. Kid landed hard ou Mc.'s
face and slipped and fell backwards.
The Kid again lands on Mc.'s face and
body getting the benefit. Mc. retali
ate? with some daisy lauding" and
it way Me.'s round.
Nth ROUND. Mc lands his right
and left on the Kid's face, follows it up
with a light tap utid outre more rate Ilea
the Kid iu the same place. Thou tlicy
become cautious aud do uo affective
work for some time. The Kid breaks
the mouotony by punching Mc in the
face aud Mc sh.vs "good." Thou they
fiddled around to the end of the round
and honors wore about even.
9th ROUND. Mc. spatted Kid's
face and l>oth exchanged blows of all
kinds iu rapid succession. Mc. gets a
punch that sends him onto the ropes.
Mc. lauds ou the Kid's l>ody and the
Kid gives him oue bettor and lands
heavily on Mc.'s face and lx?dy. It was
nip and tuck, probably a little in tho
Kid's favor.
10th ROUND. The Kid starts things
rolling with a good laxly blow on Mc,
and follows it with one 011 the head
and another 011 the face, and then rush
es his big antagonist into the Kid's cor
ner. They spar for an opcuiug. The
Kid gets it and lets fly on Mc's head
and body. Mc looked tired aud the
round ended decidedly in favor of the
Kid.
llth ROUND. Mc led the flghtiug
and both came up looking well. Mc
landed on Kid's face. Tho Kid gave
him as good as he sent. Again they ex
changed blows. The Kid landed on
Mc's face. It was give and take when
time was called, alter which referee
Fletcher stepped to the center of the
ring and said that Mc had hit the Kid
after time was called and he gave tho
decision to tho Kid on a foul.
Of course the crowd was disappoint
ed, but the decision of tho referee is,
we understand, admitted by Mc to l>e
correct.
The men looked well after the con
test aud each received congratulations
from his friends.
It was a friendly coutest.the two men
are the best of friends and neither one
suffered auy harm.
