Barry's first fight after a long layoff. Both weighed in under 112lbs. There is a theory that the referee conferred the draw decision to allow Barry to retire undefeated.

"(sic)On points Barry had the advantage, but under an agreement that if both were on their feet at the end Referee Hogan had no alternative but to call it a draw." Chicago Tribune

"Jimmy Barry sparred four rounds with Frank Bartley and got the crowd good-natured by a clever exhibition." This bout could possibly be an exhibition bout as it was not the main event. Chicago Tribune

ref: Bat Masterson

Stipulation of a draw if both were on their feet at the end.

Many thought Flanagan appeared to have the advantage.

They boxed with skin-tight gloves on the turf of a dimly-lit tent on this raw, cold evening. At the close of each round Barry was picked up by his seconds and carried to his corner and held in a blanket until the gong called him out.

A scheduled fight to the finish. The boys were scheduled to make 100lbs. "After the first round it was a foregone conclusion that Barry would win, as he was both too clever and big for the plucky little Paterson boy...Gorman was severely punished, but stood the ill-treatment manfully to the end. In rounds nine and ten, he was knocked down many times, but always managed to respond in a plucky manner. His seconds finally threw up the sponge in the tenth round and Barry was declared the winner." (Chicago Tribune)

Police intervened.

"The bout was to have been a friendly one, but the boys got to roughing it after the first few punches. The men were warned to go lightly or the bout would be stopped." Source: Evening Herald
