	“’Young’ Griffo, of Australia, and Charley McKeever, of this city, met at the Olympic Club, at Athens, Pa., to-night in a fifteen-round contest, which was decided a draw, although a majority of the 2,000 spectators believed McKeever had a shade the better of the contest. For the first seven rounds Griffo put up an excellent fight, and showed his old-time form. McKeever was slow throughout these rounds, but in the eighth he began to loosen up, and in the last five rounds laid all over the antipodean. Especially in the fourteenth did the local man show up well. He hit Griffo where and when he pleased, and in the final round Griffo seemed very tired and kept away from McKeever.”		“’Young’ Griffo, of Australia, and Charley McKeever, of this city, met at the Olympic Club, at Athens, Pa., to-night in a fifteen-round contest, which was decided a draw, although a majority of the 2,000 spectators believed McKeever had a shade the better of the contest.
