Over 100 admliers of tho mnnly art
witnessed a fast 10-round glove contest
last night In Howler's hnll between the'
two lightweights, Stephen Judge, of
tills city, und Martin Judge, of Phila
delphia. Tho Philadelphia lad proved his su
peiloilty and might hnve had the less
expei fenced Scinntonlan out In two
moio i omuls, but a diaw hail been
agieed upon In case both men weie up
nnd willing to continue aftei the tenth
lound, and the decision was a diaw In
nccoulanco with the- agieemont It
was a bitter light fiom thu beginning,
but was mnireil by two clicumstaiiccs,
the disposition of both men to clinch
nnd tho certainty that the Scranton
Judge was outclassed.
Ovei an horn was consumed In a
quibble1 over the iccelpts, the Phlladel
phlnn holding out for his guaiantee
of $"i and expenses The ptoceeds at
$1 pel admission would leave little oi
nothing foi the Sci .niton end of the
exhibition, nnd the latter debated a
long while in thelt effoits to get the
Phlladelpliians to waive a point oi two.
A conipionilso was flnallv hit upon
v.heiebv M Judge was to receive "0
and e)enses and the contest was to be
limited to ten i omuls instead of llfteen
as oiiginall announced.
WENT AT IT IN EARNEST
The wi angle only solved to embitter
the pall, and they opened the ball at
10 30 o'clock, each anxious to get even
by putting the othei out In a minute.
E J Coleman was selected at the
ring as lefeiee and "Al" Hose and
"Joe" Diiesen timekeepers Thiee
mlnute lounds with one-minute iests
weie fought. A 21-foot lope and post
ring was used
Dining the afternoon Stephen Judge
had weighed in at ITT1 and the othei
at 13I' pounds, another cause of the
prellmlnniy and justified kicking b
the Philadelphlan, as the limit had
been set at 133 When the pall en
teied the ling the evpeits picked the
foieigner as a wlnnei on account of his
gieatei muscular development and np
paient condition, though the Scian
tonian had the advantage In weight,
helghth and leach The foimei woie
knee tights and the lattei a bieech
cloth In S Judge's coiner were his bi other,
James Jude, and John Tlghe. Behind
the Quaker City lad weie "Joe" Leon
.u d, of Philadelphia, and "Pat" Hop
kins, of this clt.
At tho beginning Stephen lushed the
fighting, did most of the leading and
seemed lather too leady to get into
what appealed to bo his opponent's
low, open, and Inviting stle of de
fense Raiely in the Scianton man's
rushes did lie land moie than an occa
sional light and stialght left lead In
i etui n he got the shouldet and short
aim bod blows that took much of his
wind befoie many lounds hud been
fought
ItUSIIINO AVAILED NOT.
Stephens' lushing tactics availed
him nothing and weie encouiaged aftei
the ill bt lound, thu Philadelphia!! using
with good effect elthei ills light oi left
on the body
In the foui th round the Scranton lad
came to the .sciateh with a little more
cnutlon He was on the offensive, how
ovei, but fnied about us badlv at long
distance as he had in the piecedlng
l omuls Haiely in the counteis did he
get the best of it Tow aid the close of
tlio lound theie wns a seiles of clutches
whli li hail featuied the opening and
which followed neaily evciy exchange
up to the close of the battle
The Philadelphlan was doing the lead
ing in the llfth and in the slth tiled
Stephens' own i ashing game The lat
tei came Ui) for the seventh, with his
steam slightly Inci eased and disposed
to do the leading, but was ulwaib' met
with the shoit aim sw lims and bodv
punches that featuied the fight
throughout
Jlin tin. landed n left swing at the
opening of the eighth and Stephens b
ducking avoided the same kind of medi
cine tiom the light. Stephens' straight
lefts weie weak and foi one he got
an upper cut, followed by a stialght
light punch on the nose that gave the
Quuker III st claiet When the lound
closed tho Sciuntonlan had leceived
much the woist of It.
Each man staited to mix it up in the
ninth. Jiaitln landed seveial swings
and sent Stephen to his coiner with
his chances for lasting decidedly ques
tionable. The Scianton lad bobbed up
in the tenth and final lound appaieutly
much lefieshed and full of coinage
He was weak, however, und could make
use of but stialtiht left Jabs in oppo
Eltion to the Philadelphia's continued
swings and body punches
When time was called It appeared for.
tunate foi tho Scinntonlan that the last
lound had been fought.
