STEWART WINS
DVERM’CARTHY
Bf SLIM SHADE
NEW YORK. Aug 6 "I'm not dis
couraged and I know my friends are not
either, was the optimistic utterance to
day of Luther McCarthy, the Springfield,
Mo,, while hope, who was beaten on
points by Jim Stewart, of Brooklyn, at
Madison Square Garden last night.
The contest was so close that ma-ny
thought that a draw would have beCTi
a better popular decision.
McCarthy showed that he has plenty of
strength and gameness, but that he lacks
ring skill and science.
U was McCarthy's first appearance here
and he made many new friends by his ,
clean lighting.
Twelve thousand persons saw the bat
tle, the crowd being one of the biggest
that ever saw a mill at the garden
Several other bouts were staged in con
nection with the big fight. In these Fred
die Hicks. of Detroit, bta’ Willie Lewis
ano George Kirkwood, of St. Louis, won
from George Cheney, of Baltimore.
