yesterday morning between Martin Dur
kin OF Kansas City, and Frank Neal of st
Louis. From the start to the finish Neal
had the best of the fight, although he could
not get in q knockout blow. Blood began

in smasher on Durklu's nose and wss
given the frst knock down. From then
on the St. LouiS msn found his opponents
head with ease and batted him about
the ring as be pleased, drawing blood
at every blow. They punched, kicked auc
sIugged each other without regerd to rules
or the decisions of the referee. Neal got
Durkin IN his corner against the ropes. and
bending his opponents back almost double
over the ropes struck him several times in
the face. The crowd became excited when
Neal refused to break away. Finally some
OF them pul lied the TOnes down and dragged
the St Louis man of of his victim. Dur
kin's second claimed the fight on foul,
hut il was not allowed. The referee de-
clsred the tight q draw.
