A LIGHTWEIGHT, BATTLE.

Detroit, July 18.1 Sammy Mandell, world's light- weight champion, eliminated Phil McGraw, of Detroit, from all serious consideration as a contender for the throne, in a ten round battle here to-night. Mandell won the decision after staging ten fast cantos of a lenthor-throwing exhibition that re sulted in McGraw's leaving, the ring, a badly battered fighter.

manager of Mandell, was in the champion's corner, and sent his man in nt the sound of the first gong to deal a kayo. McGraw proved toò tough, however, and reminined on
