JIMMY PFCRRY delivered the goods again when he defeat ed Tommy Devlin, of Phila delphia, in a smashing ten-round mill at the Gate City club. But Devlin, weighing fully ten pounds less than the Pittsburg mixer, fought a game, uphill battle and earned the friendship of every fan in the house. it was a give-and-take battle from start to finish. During the ear ly rounds Devlin, who is a mighty shifty boy. outboxed Perry, but the latter's extra weight and rugged ness proved too much for the Qua ker after the fifth round. Perry would have, undoubtedly, stopped Devlin had he been in first class condition. Jimmy Is troubled with a lame back and was unable to do hardly any training. Rut, nevertheless, he made good. ’A few more Perrys and Atlanta fight fans would always be sure of getting a .’tin for their money.

MAY 8. 1912. -± >WRII -y JJEVLIN D'D A BR.ODIE ON HIS HACE Ls POR NINE BELLS I™ ” TH - TEHTH shoot ft over six inches to bring home the money. Devlin verily had been tipped off to the fact, for he was always on the lookout for It. Rut he didn't know that Jimmy has the happy faculty of whipping a stinging left to the stomach. And he kept the south paw going all evening. * I'p to the fifth round it was fair ly’ even. Jimmy then let out a couple of notches and handed out a severe walloping to the Philadel phian. Near the end of the round Jimmy got it close and jammed a wicked right uppercut to the jaw that shook Devlin. A clinch fol lowed. Fell to Save Himself. When the referee tore the men apart Devlin was a bit wabbly and as Perry started to measure him for a right he deliberately dropped to the floor. There was no ex cuse 1 for the tumble other than to save himself, and when the referee refused to give a count Devlin scrambled to his feet. That he was not hurt was clear ly demonstrated by the fact that he shot a stiff left to Perry’s head, one chise. Also the association will be able to spend enough money to get a ball club not but what the.' seem to have one already.

John Wille, who was in Devlin’s corner, jumped into the ring when ■fomrny located the soft spot on the floor, and many of Perry's friends thought the referee should have de clared him the winner right then and there. But Wille jumped back to the floor as soon as he saw Dev lin was not injured. As both boys were still full of action, it would have proven a big disappointment to the fans to have declared Jim my a winner on such a technicality. The seventh and eighth rounds yvere all Perry’s, and while he land ed many telling blows he found Devlin too clever to stop. In the ninth Jimmy eased up a bit and the milling was fairly even during this period. In the final session Perry fought at top speed. A right hook to the jaw dropped Devlin for the count of nine, and when he arose and rushed in close Perry worked on the body with both hands, and the final bell sure brought joy to the game little Quaker. Devlin Deserves Another Go. Devlin deserves another bout here with a boy of his own weight. It tt as not the matchmaker’s fault that Perry outweighed Devlin, as the latter has been meeting 145-pound ers in the East and making good. Devlin knew that he was going up against a heavier man than him self. and he alone Is to blame for the beating. But let us have some more matches with Perry and Devlin meeting men in their own class. Two more willing lads never climbed through the ropes. ANNOUNCEMENT I respectfully ask the voters of North Atlanta to elect me to the unexpired term of the late Judge S.

This, of course, in , eludes the expenses incurred in the train ing period for the try-outs and for other incidentals. It is expected that the $3,- 000,000 mark will be easily reached before the last flag is hoisted. Sweden naturally | will open its coffers more generously than the other nations this year, because the Swedes have the honor of supervising the games.

May B.—The boxer who can create a de mand for his services through efforts made in a losing battle is a rare bird. Two of these in the same ring form a curious combina tion. Usually all that is required of a loser is that he drop out of sight, the quicker and harder the drop the better. Frankie Conley and Jack White have been matched to box twenty rounds before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon on the afternoon of Friday. May 10. Both boys were knocked out in this same ring by Mexican Joe Rivers, but in the face of these disasters each lad qlaims. with a certain degree of truth, that he is still a "card." White came to the coast, with one of those fancy “Eastern" rec ords. His stock had been boosted by the fact that Abraham Attell had just "waddled" out of a New Orleans engagement, the natural inference being that the crafty ve- Perry Wins Decision Over Devlin in Hot 1 Ten-Round Battle teran considered the “Chicago Cy clone” too dangerous to experiment with. Jack entered the ring against Rivers with an air of supreme con fidence and a dazzling costume of peacock green. In the opening round he shaped up like a top notcher and we al! settled back In our seats expecting a long and des perate struggle. A chin shot in the second round took all the fight out of the Chl- After this point his fin ish was a mere matter of gameness. From a loser's chair Jack shook hands with Rivers and frankly ad mitted that he had been beaten by a better man. He made no ex cuses whatever except to say that but for the jaw jolt in the second he would have put up a better fight. This manly stand won him many friends, and immediately there was a demand that Jack be sent back into the Los Angeles ring for an other trial. Frankie Conley was waiting to box anybody from Abe Attell to Jack Johnson.
