Special to The AstoriaxJ San Francisco, May 26. Joe Choyinski, the well known local heavy weight and Jack Davis, of Omaha, fought to a finish with five-ounce gloves at the Occidental Athletic club to-night; 1,500 members were present The mystery surrounding the record of Davis caused the talent to be leary in betting and as the result little money changed hands, with the odds of 2 to 1 with Choyinski on the long end. In his fight with Jim Corbett he demonstrated beyond all question that he was nimble on his feet, and could hit a terrific blow and was a glutton for pirnishment. With these facts in the wind the average sport attended the exhibition to-night with, full ex pectation that Choyinski would liter ally chop his man to pieces. Choyinski entered the ring at 915, and was soon followed by Davis. The former weighed 165 pounds and the latter tipped the beam at 170. Time was called at 925. Both were of about equal height, Choyinski looking to be the heavier of the two, and both were in perfect condition. The fight ing from the start was the most furious ever witnessed in any athletic club on the coast In the second round both men were very weak Choyinski having a shade the better of it, using his left to good advantage driving Davis' head back. Just as the gong rang at the eighth round Joe gave Davis a terrific left hander under the chin that knocked him down. When he came to the scratch of the 9th round, he was so weak that Choyinski had little difficulty in put ting him to sleep. The Omaha man's cleverness was a surprise, but he can hardly be considered a good match for so hard a hitter as Choyinski. Gone Before a Higher Court. Special to The Astokiax. Silver Cut, N.
