WEBB V. DECONHART.
Sx business like "rounde ware fought between Seaman Webb, H.M.S. Ambrose (131 lbs.) and Seaman Deconhart, H.M.S Hawkins (140 lbs.) the decision going to the latter. Webb had to give sway a great deal in weight and reach but he was in no sense afraid to sail into his man, continually trying to force openings. Deconbart was quick with his left and often landed heavy blows to the face. Every round was produc- tive of good bard fighting, but Webb, who naturally had to work harder to get to hitting distance, was visibly tired by the time the sixth round was reached. It was a generally expected decision that Mr. W. Logan gave.
