Crawford's first return was a sliced backhand to Vines's baseline. Vines netted. On the next point, Crawford blocked the serve. Vines drove to the back hand corner and Crawford lobbed so skilfully that, trapped as he ran in, Vines could barely get back in time to push the ball weakly into the net.

Shrewdest prediction of the result was a drawing by Burris Jenkins Jr., which appeared in the Evening Journal the afternoon of the fight. It prophesied 1) the winner 2) the knockout...

S. gold miners have ceased bringing their output to the mints, but the Government still has to release some gold for industrial use (gold teeth, gold leaf, etc.). Net result of the U. S.
