Ireland Wins In
Ei
Preliminaries by Johnson and Dil =
lard , and Smith and Richardson.
The boxing contest at t. Nio-
brara last Friday night was begun
at 9 o'clock p. m. by Johnson , of
company B , and Dillard , of com
pany D , of the 25th infantry , get
ting into the ring. Mr. Langley ,
of Ainsworth , was referee of the
evening and W. A. Kim bell was
time keeper arid master of cere
monies.
Johnson and Dillard shook hands
and made for each other , striking
right and left with several clinches
and breakaways , Johnson doing
the leading. Johnson landed hard
loft on Dillards jaw and followed
it with a right swing which landed
on the face and staggered Dillard.
Several hard punches in the face
and a left swing for the head
brought Dillare to the floor but he
was up and fighting when the gong
sounded , but practically knocked
out and gave up when the gong
sounded for the second round.
The second bout was between
Billy Smith , a local man who has
had considerable experience in box
ing and doesn't know what it is to ,
"get licked , " and Kid Richardson ]
who took part in the previous contest - '
'
test , and is Ireland's sparring
partner. The fight was fast and
furious from the beginning with
wild "swings , " "ducks" and
"clinches , " each being hit repeat
edly in the face and body so fre
quently that a short hand reporter
couldn't have kept up with their
movements. It was plainly evi-,1 ,
dent that Richardson was in much
1
better training , and hardened to
givetand take blows without losing
his wind.It became a test of endurance -
durance and wind with them , even
in the first round which seemed
twice as long as it should have
been , the blows finally becoming' ' i
light jabs that were not evaded ( !
and .sapped the strength of the one | '
giving the blow as much as the one ,
1
receiving it , though neither was ,
hurt in the least. Once Smith
made a lunge and tried to land
with a right swing but RichardsonJ ;
ducked and Smith fell full length
forward on his face. Richardson
got in some good licks in the second
end round and had the advantage
in his favor , though there were no
knock downs. Nearing the close
of the second round Smith becom
ing completely exhausted threw
up his hands and walked back to
his corner leaving the victory to
Kid Richardson.
PRINCIPAL EVENTS BT ROUNDS.
Round 1. Several blows right
and left exchanged. Smith landed
hard right on jaw. Richardson
returned hard left and right on
breast. Richardson rushed Smith
to ropes and put left to face.
r Smith failed to land with right
swing and fell forward but was up
and game when the gong sounded ,
Round 2. Richardson landed
several times on head with right
I1 I and left. Smith ducked a right
swing and blow after blow was exchanged -
fr changed with successive ducks and
swings in which Smith fared worst.
Richardson rushed Smith to ropes
with several blows to head and
breast and Smith clinched. Smith
rushed Richardson and landed with
right and left on face. Several
rushes and clinches followed in
which blows were rained on each
other at every effort but were only
light jabs at close in fighting and
arms mixed and entangled each
other. Richardson rushed landing
right and left successively and
ducked , bumping their heads to
gether and again jammed his head
into Smith's breast. Smith rushed
and put right to breast , missed left
swing , landed right to neck and
clinched. It was plainly evident
here that Smith was winded. He
made efforts to return several suc
cessive blows to head and breast
but they were not vigorous andj
put up his hands after a mix up
and gave up near the close of the
second round.
The main event of the evening
between Hamp Ireland , the color
ed champion of the 25th infantry ,
and Jim Farrell , of Norfolk , which
by the way is his fighting name ,
began at U:45 p. m. 250 persons
were present to witness the bout ,
some coming ' 75 to 100 miles with
j ' , a team and others from different
j ! points east and west , though the
! crowd was not as large as was ex-
| j pccted for the event. Ireland was
'cheered j ' . as he walked down to the
stage and for some little time after
taking his corner. It was appar
ent when the two men stepped up
to shake hands that Farrell was 20
pounds the heavier of the two and
was taller and broader across the
shoulders , though he was not in
training and his flesh was soft. At
the sounding of the gong both men
bounded into the ring and showed
by their first efforts that they were
more tlian ordinary men in the
ring.
PRINCIPAL EA'ENTS BY HOUNDS.
Round 1. Af ter sparring for an
opening ' Ireland got in a left swing
to Farroll's jaw which brought him
to his knees but he was up instant
ly and more cautious. Ireland put
left to wind and a clinch resulted
in ] which the comparative strength
of ( the two seemed nearly equal at
that time. Ireland put left to wind
and ; rushed to a clinch andimmed-
iately after the breakaway Ireland
rushed and landed a hard left swing
on ( Farroll's face which staggered
him and a general mixup ensued
;
by Ireland following up his lead in
which he put a stiff right and left
jab to Farroll's face and several
exchanged ' in the air went wild of
their ] mark. Ireland tried a left
swing ' but Farrell ducked and as
he straigntened up Ireland put a
stiff left and right to his face and
they clinched just as the gong
sounded. The round was clearly
Ireland's and he was loudly cheered
by his admiring friends.
Round 2. As the gong sounded
both men bounded to the center 01
the ring and began sparring for an
opening. Ireland tried a left hook
for Farroll's jaw and fell short.

sent a left to face and Farrell re
turned another hard right swing
to j jaw and Ireland went down
again. Ireland got up and sent
left 1 to face and got a right swirfg
on his left shoulder and went down.

Farrell ] ducked and they clinched ,
in which their strength was given
a test for a moment , as each gave
the f other a tug. Ireland aga.in
tried f a left swing for the head and
missed and Farrell came back with
hard ] right to face and Ireland went
down. The gong sonded and both
took t their corners. Farrell had
the j best of this round.

his ] guard up and broke the force
of the blow. Ireland put left to
face j and Farrell put left to Ire
land's ] jaw and followed with right
to \ jaw , and Ireland countered with
left ] swing to Farroll's head. Sev
eral swings intended to do some
work failed to land for either and
they j rushed to a clinch in which
Farrell jabbed Ireland in the ribs
and was cautioned by the referee.
After the breakaway each was a
little more cautious and Ireland
landed a stiff jab on Farroll's nose.
Sparring was light at the close and
the gong found them ready to take
their places in the corner , though
Ireland had the best of this round.
Round . Both men rushed in
Jfresk apparently antf Ireland gut
left to face and repeated with left
and right to face in which he
seemed to be doing the work when

clinch. Ireland put left to breast
and tried left swing but failed.

roll ducked and they came to a

failed to land hard by either and
light blows struck each others
arms. Ireland put a right to
breast and fought slowly waitiig
for an opening. Ireland put in a
hard jab on Farroll's right eye and
got away. Fan-oil was crowding
the fight in this round and Ireland
backing off waiting for opporhini-
tie * in which he landed each time
and rot away clear , excepting one
clinch.
Hound 6. Ireland led with lelt
to wind and jammed his right
shoulder into Farroll's stomach in

when Ireland went down and the

as the count proceeded his head
drooped and he sank tothe'n'oor
and was counted out. The bout
was closed and the crowd yelled
for Ireland as the champion.
Quiet was restored and Ireland
came to the front of the stage and
announced that he would meet any
man not over 158 pounds in the
country. Tommy Sullivan , the
second for Farrell , stepped to the
front of the stage and announced
that he would accept the challenge
for Jack Sullivan of Wyoming ,
whom he claimed was the best 158
pound man in the country.
Jack Donovan and Tommy Sulli
van were Farroll's seconds.
Ireland's seconds were Com.
Serj. Green and Private Hays of
the 25th infantry band. There
was good order throngout the eve
ning and those who were there
expressed themselves as well pleas
ed with the entertainment.
N. B : In round 2 it is claimed
by some that Ireland was not
knocked down but once and that
the other three times , he went
down to dodge a blow. It is the
intention of the editor to be fair I
to all parties and our position some
1
those on the stage we may be mis 1
taken. 1
