From the Sunday Morning Toronto Telegram....In Halifax Jack Munroe gained a measure of revenge over Joe Kennedy with referee Hugh MacNeil's stopping their return bout and awarding it to the local lad with a minute remaining in the final round...MacNeil said he stopped it when one of Kennedy's seconds tossed water on their man as he pulled himself up on the ropes near his corner...At Tattersall's Arena in Chicago big Sandy Ferguson knocked out Yank Kenny with little effort...James Jeffries the former boilermaker needed only a round and a half to put away Jim McCormick...There is talk that the Marathon Club in Chicago will put on a card featuring a six round contest between Denver Ed Martin and Jack Johnson the Galveston heavyweight...Promoter Leo Roberts is trying to get South Afrika's Corrie Sanders to headline a card at Coaltown's King Street Arena this Spring...
