liminaries, feeling, betting, &c, about the prize
fight between Morissey and IIeenan- This we

country. Hardly amore brutal performance has
been recorded by the press since news began to
appear in tPye. The blood thirstiness of the
champions and their aiders and abettors, would

century. Think of Morrissey being SO mashed
into jelly that he chad to be carried to the
scratch" the two last rounds, while his oppo-
nent ''fell fainting" at the eIeventh-and was
too faint to come to time" on the 18th. Both
fell together at one round from sheer exhaustion
bleeding and mangled like couple of bull Digs.
