The grand climax came when the gong rang for the nineteenth round. Nell came out of bit corner and trotted to the center of tbe ring, hla bruised lower Up hanging like a pendulum, his nose spread to twice Its normal also and his right eye a blue alot In a puffed cheek. Nell rushed In, trying to land with right nnd left upper- cut*. but wo* aent back with a heavy left under the chin. A left swing and a right brought blood from Attell's nose. Attell put In n light left to the head nnd took two hnrd lefta In the eye In return. Doth landed hnrd rights In the face and Nell reached the head with right and left. It wo* a question of bruto strength and both became exhausted. In the last round Attell fought more cnrefully, lint refused to give an Inch. Attell rushed Nell all over the ring, land ing rights nnd lefta to the head: They both were so exhausted at tho end of the round that they were scarcely able to stand without bolding on to each other.

Boston, July 6.—The chsmplonshlp asntri* tlons of Willie Lewis, the New York w*|. terwelght, got hitched to a skyrocket last night and Honey Mellody, of Charleston, touched off tbe fuse. Their bout at Chelsea lasted two min. utes and 30 soconds Into the third round, when Mellody crossed hts right with ths Gotham lad's Jaw and Willie stretched him self full length on the mat. He turned over twice, bat got no nearer to rising within the limit of the fatal ten seconds. “A chance punch. I waa careless," said Lewis. ‘I can do It quicker next time," said Mellody. Up to the sudden ending of the contest It was decidedly In Lewis' favor. The second round wss on* of tbe hardest fought ever seen In a local ring. In the middle of It Lewis hooked hla left to Mellody'* Jaw and Honey went down for the count. It looked bad for him, but he gained his feet on the count of nine and tore In like a bull dog. At the end of tbe round both boxers were weak. Mellody cams back fresher In the third, while Lewis seemed tired-, probably from tbe body blows that Mellody hid hern banding him. At tbe very start it wa* seen that the flgbt bad begun to turn In Mel lody'* favor. j League Standings j CLUBS— New Orleann .
