Slavin Kilrain Fight Ends Without Decision in Ninth Round
In New York on June 17 the $10,000 glove bout between Frank P Slavin of Australia and Jake Kilrain of Baltimore ends in the ninth round with referee Jere Dunn delaying a verdict. Timekeeper John Kelly claims fourteen seconds elapsed after Kilrain appeared down, while Kilrain and backers dispute whether he rose before the gong. The fight may be ruled a draw if managers and reporters corroborate Kilrain's feet before the bell. Kilrain showed resilience, Slavin dominant after the second round, and both men fought in grim condition.

Archer's Big Steal Claimed In Bond Case Ruling
In Annapolis on June 18 the state court of appeals released two opinions on Archer bond cases.
