JUDGE WON 'THE BATTLE
Defeated Nike Duddy After a Hurd
Fought Contest.
ELEVEN ROUNDS WEKE FOUGHT
Tills Was tho Star Feature of tho Tonrnn.
meat of tho Nonparlcl Athletic Club
at Weber's Kink and Attracted a
Largo Crowd of Sports.
Steve Judge, or the South Side, de
feated Mlko Duddy, of Old Forge, in
the eleventh round nt the boxing tourn
ament In Weber's rink, Taylor, last
night. They met in a lif teen-round con
test for a puree of $10 a Bide and half
the gate receipts.
Entertainment that was well worth
tho dollur price of admission was the
card furnished by the Nonparlcl Ath
letic club, of Taylor, nt Weber's rink
last night. In the center of the hall
a roped arena, twenty-four feet square,
was erected, nnd there the pugilistic
gladiators engaged In tho struggle for
the mastery. Sports from up and down
the valley wore among the spectators.
The crowd did not total more than 250.
Tho loud checked trouser and feBtlve
red tie were very much In evidence. It
had been advertised as a 'tournament
under the auspices of the Nonparlels,
nnd such whs tho fact: but the attrac
tion that drew most of tho sports to
gether was the spi-clal fifteen-round
"go" between "Mike" Duddy, of Old
Forge, nnd Stevo Judge, n brother of
Champion James Judge, of South
Scranton.
Men Wcro In Condition,
The men have been In training for the
past threo months nnd they were In the
pink of condition. Delay had kept the
entertainment from beginning until 10
o'clock. Then tho first event was a
three-round bout between Tommy
Gardner, a lithe youth from the Ex
celsior Athletic olub, of this city, nnd
Danny Hayes, of Taylor. P. J. Murphy,
Instructor of the Scranton Athletic
club, was the referee.
Hayes was the heavier of the two and
seme In tho audience pitied Gardner,
but they had no occasion for their com
miseration. Tho first novmd was spent
in parrying blows, but Gardner got In
a few stiff punches on his opponent's
proboscis, that made the olfactory or
gan change to the brightness of a July
sunbeam. The second round was of
the give and take order, but In the third
the fireworks opened nnd Hayes bit the
sawdust several times. The latter was
thoroughly whipped If not practically
knocked out, and the decision of Ref
eree Murphy, In favor of Gardner, was
a mere perfunctory task.
Announced us n Friendly Sctto.
Two members of the club delighted
the spectators with what the referee said
would be a friendly bout. If friendly
meant a hammer and tongs slugging
match, then indeed It was quit friend
ly. They parted in the last round with
peeled noses and the claret flowing free
ly. The sports went out and refreshed
themselves In the Intermission that fol
lowed.
Impatince was shown In the shouts
and stamping- of feet that awaited the
coming of Duddy and Judge. At 11.15
they entered the ring. Duddy wore
black trunks and had his hair shorn;
Judge's body was almost bare. Cham
pion James Judge and Richard Eavers
acted as seconds for Judge, and Tim
Murphy, of Rendham, and Thomas
Murray, of MInooka, performed a simi
lar office for Duddy. The latter tipped
the scales at 130 pounds and Judge was
a quarter of a pound heavier. They
tossed for corners and at 11.17 Referee
Murphy ordered the men to shake
hands and begin the de-bate. Joseph
Geueke, of the Nonparlel club, was
timekeeper.
First Round In buddy's Favor.
The first round was slightly In Dud
dy's favor and twice Judge clinched to
avoid punishment. Blows rained hard
and fast and the excitement became
so Intense that Chief of Police John H.
Evans threatened to put an end to the
proceedings If better order were not
maintained.
The second round was spent In vigor
ous infighting and Duddy got many
smashes on the face, but ho delivered,
hard body blows in return. Tho
punches Duddy received seemed to have
no more effect than water rolling off a
duck's back, but Duddy got the worst
of It.
Judge had a smile on his face since
entering the ring1, but the confident air
left him.
The third and fourth round both were
pretty well winded. At this stage it
looked as if the- battle would be decided
before many minutes.
Both sparred cautiously in the open
ing of the fifth, bu Duddy rushed his
opponent nnd sent h. i to the ropes. In
this round Duddy dr y first blood and
It ended with terrible 'ghtlng.
Duddy Itcgins U Wcukon.
The seventh, eighth nr.l ninth rounds
were rather tame, but In the tenth the
men came together and fought with
ferocity. Duddy was weakening, and If
time had not paved him he would have
gone down to defeat.

the round was ubout half over when
he sank limp and defeated Into his
corner.
He did not resume the scratch and

Tho friends of both were In danger of
entering into a free fight after the
battlo was over.
The fight lasted Just forty-three

if not exclusively, of stereotyped
features widely syndicated for
simultaneous publication. On
the contrary, the bulk of the
special matter presented In The
Saturday Tribune Is prepared
especlally'for this puper. That
The Saturday Tribune Is satis
factorily filling Its field Is sub
stantially manifested by a
steadily growing constituency.
No other paper ever printed In
the history of Scranton journal
Ism has achieved a fuller meas
ure of success than The Satur
day Tribune.

nanco Meets u Sudden Death.
An attempt was made In common
council last night to railroad through
the meeting a franchise to the Inter
state Telephone company. The reso
lution granting the franchise was
passed under the very noses of the se
lect members a week ago. Many of
them did not know what they had vot
ed upon until the details of the
scheme appeared exclusively In The
Tribune tho day following. Last night
many of the commoners were laying In
wait for the resolution, and after a
brief fight succeeded in sending It Into
committee.
The resolution was read along with
other measures passed by the select
branch. It gives the Interstate com
pany the right to set poles and string
wires In any street of the city, but does
not provide any recompense to the city,
Mr. Nealis' motion that tho resolution
be adopted was amended by Mr. Gllroy
to refer to committee. Mr. Seamans
presented an amendment substantially
as follows, but which was withdrawn
after Mr. (Ulroy's amendment to refer
was carried: Compelling the company
to furnish free telephones and service to
all city ofllcers and city buildings now
supplied with telephones; to furnish
free police patrol boxes ami service; to
file iin acceptance of tho provisions of
the amendment with the mayor within
thirty days, otherwise the franchise to
be null nnd void; nnd that a failure to
establish a proper telephone service
complete Its lines within nix months
of the passage of the resolution shall
revoke the permission contained there
in.
'ilicy Voted to Adopt.
The members who voted to adopt the
resolution without Mr. Seamans'
amendment and without referring to
committee are: Regan, Sweeney, Nea
lis, HIckey, Battle, Norton und Zeldle
An ordinance providing for fenders
on street cars was Introduced by Mr
Seamans and referred to committee.
Tho ordinance contains the following
"That from nnd after the approval of
this ordlnnnce It shall not be lawful for
any railway compnnles to run
any car or cars unless provided with the
most modern Imoroved fender or fend
ers with both front and wheel guard;
the same to be nt all times atached to
the car or cars for the better protec
tion of life and limb Said fenders and
gunrds to be subject to the approval
of the mayor and city engineer, whose
duty It shall be to see that the re
quirements of this ordinance are en
forced and complied with. And be It
further enacted that n failure on the
part of any of said companies to comply
with the provisions of this ordinance
within sixty days after the day of Its
approval, shall subject such company
so In default to a fine or penalty of $
a day for each car operated without
said fender or fenders; said fines to be
collected as other fines and penalties
for violation of city ordinances are col
lected."
Mr. Battle's motion prevailed that
the bills reported favorably by the ail
dltlng committee, excepting the bills of
tho People 9 water company for water
In tho Twentieth ward, be paid. Mr
Sweeney, Mr. Reagan and Mr. Nealis
alleged thnt several of the bills, which
amounted In total to $500, were not
legally contracted.
