Forty rounds of boxing, thirty-four of which were thrilling, kept the fish t tans on the tiptoe of excitement ex-citement most of the time here last night. The slowest j:o of the card, unfortunately, was called a draw, much to the disappointment disap-pointment of tho majority of the spectators, spec-tators, who were of the opinion that Dutch Brandt of Brooklyn had a larne enough margin on Frankte Rice of this city to earn the verdict. The opening seito, which brought together to-gether Mattio Herbert of New York and Ihek Griffin of Texas, also was declared even, but the referee had no trouble deciding de-ciding Joe Tlplitz of New York the winner win-ner over Nick Gundry of El Paso, or that Kill Kramer of Milwaukee was the master ot" 'Knockout" Joe l-ily of Brooklvn All of the bouts went the limit of ten rounds and tho arbiter should have decide,! de-cide,! nil of them. Herbert bv his a--crossivenws. had an ed-e on Griffin and Brandt had a little something on Rice |
