The Boxers' Lively Saturday Night

THE BOXERS' LIVELY SATURDAY NIGHT “Bull” McCarthy Bests Dan McConnell Before the Southwark Club’s Merry Push AMATEURS AT THE NAVY J. D. Shibe Wins the 125 Pound Tourney, Defeating Edward Dix After a Game Struggle—The Winners in Other Events. The wind-up at the Southwark Athletic Club last night between the redoubtable “Bull” McCarthy, of this city, and Dan McConnell, who glories in the fact that Camden is his place of habitat, should have satisfied the most exacting. The first two rounds were of the mildly exhilarating kind—feelers, as it were. In the third round, however, the boys got down to business, and from that on to the conclusion it was a merry case of biff, bang, boom! In the fourth round McConnell began to rush, a style of fighting which agreed to a “T” with Bull’s straight lefts. It mustn’t be supposed though that McConnell wasn’t doing some execution, for he was. The fifth was a case of mixed pickles, McCarthy’s superior experience making the other Mac look like a novice. In the sixth round McCarthy scored a clean knock down, and otherwise made it embarrassing for his opponent. Previous to the main event Young Dorsey and Bug Ford fought a draw. “Reddy” McGuire retired “Al” Smith in a round, and Harry Smith bested Paul Doane.
