MUNROE WAS WHIPPED IN TWO ROUNDS Scared and Awkward the Big Miner From Butte Did Not Stand a Ghost of a Show in the Ring. The Contest Ended So Quickly Neither of the Men Realized That It Was Over. MONROE NOT IN SAME CLASS Jeffrie Say He Trained a if He Were Going: to Meet Corbett or FitzKiiiimoiiM, but This Was Xo Fight at AH. San Francisco, Aug. 26. Like the veriest amateur In the prize ring. Jack Munroe of Butte, Montana, wnt down and out before Champion James Jef fries tonight In the second round. The man from the mining regions made such an extremely sorry showing that the great throng hooted him a he pro tested to Referee Graney against the decision. The miner wa scared and awkward, and Jeffries In the first round had him twice on the canvas taking the count. Jeffries directed his bombardment, against the stomach of hi opponent and each shot was followed by a blow on the Jaw- that sent Munroe to his knees. Jeffries went back to his cor ner after the . opening round with a sneer and laugh on his swarthy face, while Munroe' seconds busied them selves with smelling salts and restor atives. When the two came together for th second round the laugh on the cham pion's visage changed to a look of de termination that boded ill to the miner. Forty-five seconds after the gong' sounded, Munroe, counted out, was ly ing on the floor, a bloody, bruised mass of humanity. The man from southern California did not understand that the victory wa already his, nor could Munroe , realise that his pugilistic star had so early set. and the two men In a mo ment or two were facing one another and Jeffries landed a terrific blow on the Jaw of his staggering opponent. Graney came forward and ordered Jef fries away, telUng him that the fight was ended In his favor. Munroe tot tered to his corner, with the blood streaming from his face, and fell Into his chair dazed and helpless. When he came to a realization that the fight had gone against him, he arose, and going over to Referee Graney. began , to make a protest. The huge crowd understood from his protesting gestic ulations the purport of his talk and a mighty volume of hooting gave evi dence of the sentiment of the specta tors. A great throng witnessed the con test, estimates of the number In at tendance ranging from seven thousand, and It Is believed the gate receipts ap proximate $35,000. Jeffries accepted the victory as a matter of course and said: "This fel low Is not In Corbett's or Fltzslmmons class. I am only sorry I had not a chance to give him a few more and harder knocks than 1 was able to do. I admit I have some bitterness against Munroe, for it was through his friends and from his camp that I have been called a cur. Why, I have trained as If I were going to meet Corbett or Fltz slmmons. There was actually nothing to this fight." Se utterly crestfallen was Munroe over his crushing defeat that he begged to be hurriedly taken away from hla dressing room and was quickly taken out of the building. When asked for a statement concerning the fight he refused to be Interviewed, saying he had nothing to say. Today's Wathr. "Portland, Aug. 26.
