Hundred Dead Cam. Sport, of tb. Twin CitlM, Minneapolis. . Feb. 18. Twelve hundred people gathered in the club rooms of the Twin City Athaletie club last night to witness tho much talked-o- f fight between the welter-weight- Danny Needham' of California ami Tom Ryan of Chicago, for a purse of $1000, J800 to the winner, Queensberry rules, to a finish. Needham weighed in at 137i and Kyau at 139J. Charley Kemmic aud Australian Smith were Needham's seconds, Billy Meyer and George Siddous acted for Ryan. Joe Mannis was chosen referee. Four ounce gloves were used. The men entered the ring at 9:15. The question of plasters for Needham's hands was not raised, as it had been decided to abandon bis claim to the privilege of wearing them. The bet-lin- g was about even and both appeared iu good condition. The first round ended in Needham's favor, after a sharp interchange of blows, with no barm done. Ryan then forced tho fighting, but ' Needham countered suceessSyjiy,,,., and . so the fight went on, round ,after round, with-out any great apparent damage on either side. In the fifth Ryan poked his left into Needham's left eye, partly closing it, and persistently tried to disable the other one, his tactics being evidently to blind Needham. The latter was ed. however, and kept playing for Ryan's wind. There was much spar-- ring and many good blows inter-changed, Needham devoting the most of his favors to Ryan's body. They took a change at chasing each other, and Needham's face began to show signs of punishment, but both were pretty fresh. In the twenty-sevent- round Ryan rushed right and left, getting in three good blows, and driving Needham against the ropes. Needham at this time aud for several rounds after was not using bis right. In the thirty-firs- t Needham forced the fighting, and in a clinch Ryan tried to throw him. Needuam received a hot right-han- smash, which swelled his upper lip. Iu the thirty-fourt- Ryan opened with an awful right, which sent Need-ham to the ropes. The latter then be-gan using his right again freely, and there was some vicious lighting. In the thirty-fift- and thirty-sixt- Kyan got in two more smashes on Need-ham's ribs, but without doing much ap-parent damage. Iu the thirty-sevent- the fighting was fast and furioii3, but ended in Ryan's favor. At 2:'.'0 a. m. President Harris of tho Twin City club announced his intention of making the men fight to a finish. Up to this thir'.y-seve- rounds had been fought, and the men were simply walk-ing around each other. Needham's lace showed evidence of severe punishment, but both men asido from that appeared in good shape. So it wetit on, many blows being ex-changed without visible results, each taking turns in rushing the other, until the tiliy secontt roiinu, '.vtien Kyan rushed Needham lo tho ropes without effect, and narrowly escaped a knock-out blow, getting two good smashes iu the ntck. Up to this time the sporting men pro-nounced the tight one of the most scientific ever seen. Not a foul had been hit or claimed. At the end of the sixtieth round tho referee announced that he understood the fight was to be Id a finish and that he would make the men light. This stirred up the audience and a bet of $100 that Kyan would win found no takers at even odds. The men resumed fighting with vigor and up to this time Ryan did not show a mark of punishment. In the seventy-fourt- round Needham forced tho fighting, but did little dam-age. He got iu a smash on Ryan's face and Ryan returned it, almost scor-ing a knock down. In the seventy-fift- h the fighting was hot nnd fast, and Rvan scored first blond. The audience went wild. Desperate infighting fol-lowed. In the seenty-sixt- round Ryan knocked Needham down with his left, clinched and Needham went down agaiu. Ryan then upper-cu- t right and left, knocking Needham down re-peatedly, ami only the call of time sated him from being knocked out.p As it was, he was carried to bis corner in a dazed condition. Before time was called again his seconds threw up the sponge. Needham's friends, who had been exceedingly confident, are down-hearted. Tommy Ryan is now cham-pion welterweight of tho world.
