nnding himself c0rnered, let ny his right hand,
which landed on Maces hip. This was q hard hit.
and Mace said he would not claim the oul. eau
toned Coburn not to ''do the ike again. The meu
worked ABOUT for an opening, and 1t was some min
utes before one seemed Gear for Coburn, who
launched out with his left at Maces body, but the
blow did not reach its intended destination. Mace
then tried to get in close to Coburn but the latter
moved away as he advanced, and after some min

hands and took look at each other. They
put up their hands again, and Mace moved IN
