Hot Springs, March 12.—Joe Gang
was given the decision over Steve
Crosby at Whittington Park last night
in the eleventh round of what was to
have been a fifteen-round go. Crosby
was all but out, and it was a humane
act on the part of his seconds to
throw up the sponge. Gans had the
best of the argument from the start,
though Crosby would occasionally dis
play cleverness. Tommy Ryan was
referee and “Honest John” Kelly
timekeeper.
The next fight here is between
Tommy Gilfeather and Morris Rauch
on the 18lh.
