Kilrain Foogbt Plucky, Bat tb Bet er
Man Won Immense 8nniiof Money
Change Hindi.
New York, June 10. The
hlavm-Kilrain contest which took
place at Ilolmken to-night was the
greatest contest of the kind that
has taken place in this city or en
virons for many yea) s. Not evea4-X7Kok county is becoming noted
in the palmiest days of the old
Madison Square Garden, where
the only John L. Sullivan met all
comers and put them to sleep in
his own inimitable style, has a
match attracted such wide spread
notice. Taere was a most as much
money wagered on the result of
this battle as on the Suburban
handicap. Thousands of dollars
have been bet. Slavin had a
s'ight call in belting, but Kilrain's
friends were not backward in tak
ingnpliets. A majority of bets
nude were that Slavin would
not knock Kilrain out in a stipu
lated number of rounds.
Slavin won in the ninth round.
I he contest was a hard one and
Kilrain made a game fight. Slavin
fought on the agitrcsive. He has
a tremendous forearm and hand
and got in bis upjiercuts w ith good
ell'ect. Kilrain showed himself to
be a very clever and game fighter.
THE WINNER'S KKCOHb.
Slavin made his debut in the
prize ring at Chasters Towers,
(Jiieensland, in 1SS5, defeating
Martin Power in thirteen minutes,
Then he beat Tom Burke, the
champion of Queensland, knock
ing bun out iu four rounds, lie
beat Shanahan, of (iympia, in two
rounds; S. Burke, of Roekhaiup
ton, iu ten seconds; Professor)
ISabbs in a round and a half;
Bli-:h, the Sydney heavy-weight,
iu one round ; Tom Taylor, a pupd
of Peter Jackson, in two rounds;
Fogarly in three rounds; Mike
Dtxiley in eight rounds.
Then he fought a draw v ith
Costello in a battle lasting two
hours and a quarter. Afterwards
after many unsm-'essful efforts to
'e'. another fight, he agreed to
top Costello in six rounds and
failed to do it. lhen lie wan
matched to fight Jackson, but
having hurt his w rist in the set-to
with Costello, lie was forced to
lo.-e that honor and the deposit.
Then he beat Lang, the heavy
weight champion of New Zealand,
and Jack Burk, of I mdon, who
went Irom America to Australia,
in eight rounds. Then he went to
London and knocked out Bill
ioode in live rounds last October.
His "draw" with Jem Smith
when the outrageous conduct of
Smith's Brummagem heelers dis
graced their tavonte forever is
lamiiiar to everybody. The fight
lasted fourteen rounds, and was
all in Slavin's favor. His last fight
was with Joe McAuhfle. Joe was
knocked out in the second round.
