In twenty four-foot ring at Herring

rushes, but Kilrain dodge him cleverly,
and they clinched; but in breaking away

Hesrld squarely on his back In the cor
ner, where he lay bleeding from mouth
and nose and painting heavily, when the
police rushed through the ropes and
stopped the fight. Kilrsin was not
touched, while Hearld received cut on
his upper lip and another on his nose.
The short work and the two-oance gloves
used showed that both men meant bnsi-

the best slugger. The principals were at
once hustled of and the crowd dispersed
