The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-10-20

fighting, but Tom stopped him by a straight one on
the whistler, and then closed This led to some
sharp but very wild in fighting in Toms corner
and at last Bob was down on his knees with all the
worst of it.
4. Bob came up blinking with his left eye, which
had evidently got peppered in the last wild rally
and seemed as II about to close. 1t was now dis
covered that the ten minutes had inst expired, and
that his bet of G20O saved. He lost no time in
getting to work, but giving one or two sideway
steps he dashed in, planted his right on the ribs
and then one or two sharp counter hits were ex-
changed, While lodging and stepping in and out,
Bobs spikes came into dangerous collision with
Toms shin, and inflicted a serious wound; Tom
pointed to the injured spot and shook his head
whereupon Bob apologized, assured him it was un-
intentional, and promised to be more careful for
the future. The wound was excessively deep, and
only shows the extreme danger of using such absurd
spikes, which are utterly useless to man who in
tends really to keep his legs. Tom after little
lodging, got heavily on the damaged pepper and
nose, and received hot on the jowl which knocked
him clean off his legs Counter hits were exchanged
Tom getting very heavily on the left pepper and
receiving hot one on the jow First knock doon
for Brettle, who was enthusiastically cheered as he
went to his corner.
5. On coming up there was no mark of Bob's
visitation on Toms jaw, but the effect of Toms
blows on Bob's muzzard and eye was very visible
His conk and left pepper were swollen, and the
claret was still visible from his whistle trap The
hackers of Tom offered four to one, but in only one
instance was it taken, viz: by Bob Travers, who
invested tenner on his pet. Bob, after little
queer manouyering, rushed in left and right, and
got the latter in on the body, but not heavily.-
He looked serious, and walked round and round.
but finding Tom ready he tried dash, succeeding
in landing the right on the body. Tom got heavily
on the forehead, and then counter hits being ex-
changed, Brettle got slightly on the neck and Tom
with his right caught Brettle very heavily on the
left shoulder, and Bob went down in his (Tom's)
corner. Tom ran after Bob as he was being carried
to his corner, with curious look of anxiety and
alarm his countenance, evidently thinking he
had inflicted some dangerous injury. Finding,
however, that the blow had not had the serious eff
feet he feared, he walked smiling to his corner
6. Bob came up looking very serious, and several
times led off left and right, but quite out of dis
lance. Tom then stepped in and tried his left,
which Bob cleverly avoided, and then returned
on the chest. They quickly got to close quarters,
and after sharp exchange on the neck Brettle fell
forward on his hands in Toms corner Tom missing
a terrific upper-cut with his right as he fell
Z and last. Bob missed several well intended
lunges with the right, and then walked around the
ring; he came again, and tried the left with SINH
afraid of Toms right, which had already missed
him so narrowly. Again and again did he step in
and out, and as Sayers tried to catch him
the hop he would point and grin; at last he got
slightly on the chest receiving little one on the
cheek. Bob retreated, and then hit out most fu-
riously, but missed, and Tom countered him heav-
! y on the shoulder; at the same moment Bob mme-
dately put his right hand his shoulder, as if in
tried to stand and prop his with his right, but
from the expression of his countenance something
was evidently amiss, and on Toms approaching
him he got down in his own corner apparently suf-
fering considerable agony Solid Coates, his UNI
pire, at once went to his corner, and on inquiry
found that he had dslocated his shoulder, either
by the force of his own blow, or from the effect of
Toms heavy counter; and this being the case, of
course he had no option but to resign the victory
to Tom Sayers, who was hailed the conqueror in
fifteen minutes.
Tom at once went to shake hands with his fallen
foe, and then resuming his toggery, quickly reap
peared among his friends without mark to show
that he had been fighting: medical friend who
was on the ground quickly attended upon poor
Bob, and lost no time in restoring his arm to its
position, and the poor fellow injured in mind
than body, soon sufficiently recovered to enter
freely into conversation with his friends, many of
whom believed and, we hear, still believe, that he
had to the full as good chance as Tom Sayers at
the time so disastrous termination to the battle
occurred. That this so is of course, but mat
ter of opinion That Bob's own opinion did not
coincide With tn at of his friends may be gathered
from the fact that he has since called upon us to
state his intention OF retiring from the Ring. He
says that he knows of no of his own weight
who is likely to try conclusions with him; he has
no intention of again over-matching himself as on
the present occasion, and as he has good business
in Birmingham he thinks he we'll afford to
leave fighting alone, at any rate active pro-
lessor of the art
