and endeavored to again bear Mccartney
to the ropes. despite the repeated warm
! ing of the referee, who finally had to
step into the ring and lead the men TO
their corners. The excitement was now
intense; the crowd shouted and yelled
like madmen, Mccartney plainly being
the favorite. The gerden was bedlam

Mitchell resorted to his old tactics OF
bearing on his opponent. Mccartney

not forgetting his left. During the

liams stepped on the stage and putting
his club between the men, ordered the
night to stop. The referee caIIed tlme al
