OTHER BOUTS.
NEW YORK, June 11.
A message from Philadelphia states: Ernie Schaef, of Boston, scaling 200 lbs, won a ten round decision from Tommy Loughran, weighing 1891b5., the bout convincing the onlookers that Tommy Loughran is now about finished as a heavyweight contender. The loser gave Schaaf a game battle, but his younger opponent was too swift for him, and he ended up fresh while Tommy’s condition was poor. At New York, the Britisher, Jack Berg, took a ten rounds decision from Herman Perlick, Kalamazoo, Michigan. The fight was fast and spectacular throughout.
