A NORTH END GLOVE FIGHT.
J. Desmond and J. Sullivan the Contestants — Eleven Rounds Fought — Desmond Wins
A quiet company, numbering about twenty-five persons witnessed a lively glove contest at the North End Hal on Atlantic avenue yesterday afternoon. The match was for $25 a side, and was fought by J. Desmond and J. Sullivan. All the parties present were friends of the contestants and from them the seconds and referee were chosen. Both men were in fine condition, and went at business at once, using ordinary boxing gloves. The fight was according to the rules of the American prize ring, and the men appeared to by pretty evenly matchd until the seventh round, when it was plainly to be seen that Desmond was getting the better of Sullivan. Desmond then orced the fighting, and Sullivan dropped to the floor several times to avoid punishment. Three rounds were thus fought, Sullivan growing weaker, so that when time was called for the eleventh round both men were very reluctant to come to the scatch, but after much urging by their seconds they stood up, but Sullivan was so exhausted that he could hardly raise his hands and his blows were futile. After a few passes, Sullivan was knocked down and threw up the sponge. Desmonds was therefore declared the winner.
