Eddie

of

The Boxing viatch Last Friday
Night
BOTH BOUTIS END SATISFACTORILY.
An enthusiastic
gathering
which
could.
have been
much larger but owing to other
entertainments
which
were
carded
be-
fore by
many who. would have liked
to be
there, attended
the Christiansted
Thea-
tre
to
witness
the
pugilistic
contests
which
was
shortly
advertised
a
few
days
prior
to
the
event.
It
must
be
regretted
that
our
local
fighters
through
disorganization
as
we have
been
informed
were
not
able
to
meet
Boney
and the
West
Enders.
The boys
gave
a
veiy
good
account
of
(#emselves
and
everyone
of
us
present
highly appreci-
ated
the
skilful
boxing
that
was
ex
hibited
in
both
matches
There
were
nn
exhibitions.
The
men
were
evenly
matched
and
they
exchanged
freely
when
they
got
their
openings
to
do
so.
The
house
ran in
the height
of
ex-
citement
during the struggles; especially,
the
echief
event
which
was
a
four-
rounder
‘etween
oar
champion
Geo.
Brooks
and
the visiting champion
of
the
B.
W.
I.
Among
the
Fight-fans
was
also
our
well-known
-porisman
Mr. Me
Kay,
Mr.
Espersen
and
famiiy
and
a
few ladies,
a few cars
arrived from
West
End
and
amonz
the
arrivals
were
Messrs.
L.
Golden,
1.
S.
Hodge,
A.
Ovesen,
M.
Larsen
of
the
West
End
News
and
others.
Mr.
Morenger-Bonaparte
opened
the
show
witha
few
words
of
welcome
to
those
present.
He
suid
that
it’s
to
be
regreitedt at
Battiing Cornelius
owing
to a hurted
hand
from
his last
fight
at
West
End couldn’t possible
be here
but
Kid
Henry who suffered
a defeat
at
the
hands
of Cornelius
last
week
will
sub-
stitute
the battler.
Then
Mr. Morenger
rebuked
what
we termed
our | cal
stars
for
not coming
up io ‘‘toe their
mark.”
He
told
us thai there
is
lots
of
trouble
between
the class
of
yjung
men
at
this
end
who
claim
to
be
‘'boxers.””
'They
must
in the first place
bear
in mind
that
boxing is a clear
and manly
sport
which
requires
of
its
exponents
clean
living.
These
young
men
should
live a clean
lile
and
abstain
from
all vices,
put away
all
conceitedness
and
come
to
the
fore and
meet
any of the visiting
boxers
coming
to
Christiansted.
They
must
noi
only
hold
on
to
men
of
their
ilk
whom
they
must
be
sure
ol being
able
to
beat
before
agreeing
to
meer
them.
No they
must
take
their chances
so
as
to
attain
higher.
The
aucience
lisied with
inter-
est
and
then
‘“‘Mr. Boney’
in.roduced
the
officials
and
was
cheered
and
ap-
plauded
as he
bowed
and
leit the
Ring
to the Referee.
The
first
pair to duck
the ropes
were
Kid Albert (inyssen)
versus
Kid
Henry
(Bargain)
‘lhe
weights
wer.
140
and
126 respectivelv.
‘l'be first round
was
a
bit
slow
but
the
2,3,
and
4th
got
tae
house
and
spectators
wild: with
excite-
.
&
2
ment
at
the
end
of
which
the officials
asked
the
contestants
to
go
another
round
for the decision
which
was given
to
Kid
Albert
after
the
extra
(sth)
round.
Kid
Henry
was
much
applauded
for
his good knowledge
of the
game
and
he
conducted
himself
excellently.
We
must
give praise
to
the
West
Enders
for
such
a
game
boxing
Bout.
After
the
intermission
the
event
of
the
evening
was staged.
Big
Brooks
was
the
first
to
duck
the ropes
followed by tue
visiting
champion
Boney who
wore
a cloak
and
bowed
to the audience
before
taking his
corner.
It was announced
to
be
a Return
Test-
Mateh4 three
minutes
rounds
with one
minute
interval.
The
ananounced
weights
were
Brooks
180
lbs.
and
boney
172
Ibs.
Both
men were
in -excellent
physi-
cal
condition.
After the
usual
formali-
ties
the gong
sounded
and
they
sho .k
hands
and
were
in for
the
first
Round
which
tie
Champion
made
sure
of.
At the call tor the
secund
round,
DBoney
mannuvered
to his
left
by
side stepping
and
then
suddenly
pushed
wheeling
to
his right
where
he met
his
man
to
the
serateh.
They exehanged
freely but
Bon-
ey
seemed
to
be
trying
to
use
some
tactics
in
gerting :close
in
to
a cliner.
Brooks cleverly made
the Champioo
miss
more
than
once
and
the
crowd
went
wild.
Brooks found
at the call for the
3rd
Round
Boney
got
in ‘‘rhe smotter’”
and
brought
some
footwork in
play.
Brooks
kept
away
and
landed
a
good
over-
hander
with
his
right
to
Boney’s
ear,
but the
Champion
who
goi
at
tricking
Brooks
fired
his
left
often
times
and
when
Brooks
ducked
broughi
in
some
terrible right hooks
which
never missed
their
marks
in
Brooks’
face
tdoney’s
Round.
Round
4.
Again Boney anxiously
uiet
Brooks
who
seemed
tast
going
and
the
Champion
took advantage
of
his
chane-
es by hitting whenever
he liked
but
ow-
ing
to
good covering
on
Brooks
part
ne
could’nt
land
whenevar
he
wanted
to.
Brooks
got
in
a
uppercut
which
was
too light to hurt
- Boney
who
countered
with his
ieft
to
mid-rib
and
landed
a
right straight
to
Brooks
neck—Boney’s
Round.
The
house
ran
is
the
height
cos
excitement
right
throughout
this
big
bout
and
the
Referee
gave
Boney
the
decision
explaining
to
the
eager
specta.ors
that
Brooks
won
tre
2nd
round
whnile
Boney
won
thd
others
on
points.
i
Boih
men
were
immensely
cheered
by
the spectators
and
everybody
was satis-
fied.
Brooks
in addressing
tlwe audience
said
that
he
will, be
willing
to
meet
Fighting Boney in a 6 round
match
with
contest
glovesin
a
month
to 6
weeks
time if the
people
will give
their
sup-
port.
We
should
think
and
suggest
that
a
