but failed @ land, Taylor c1untcnng him
hard In the Jaw. He took advantage Of the
Chicago boys surprise, and pasted him two
more IN quick succession in the mouth and
neck the latter knocking him TO his knees.
The seventh opened with a Cinch, then,
breaking, Taylor, who seemed the stronger
of the two, forced mattCrs and raincd storm
of blows against q Hcrns' ribs, finally knock
ing his man down. This was Taylor's best
round
But as strange as it may appear the South
Omaha man was not in the next. O'Hcm hit
him hard and often, one blow laying the
gasa,Sed os,Sd, o,.S; check open ,aifresh and md
manning optic. A hard lmock-down from
O'Hcln's right ended the round.
Again in the ninth O'Helm forced the fight
ing, iabbing Taylor repeatedly with his left,
and smashing him in the ribs with his right
until it looked like a Knockout. But the
South Omahog was game and he took his
cruel as II he had been brought up on 1t.
When Taylor come up IN the tenth both
eyes were about closed and his face and chest
were swathed in blood But he wasn't out
yet by, long ways and rushing
in he dealt O'Hem reminder OF this
fact that made his teeth rattle
o Hern recovered and drove his
right against Tins frontispiccc with such
vehcmcnce that Tim went down like log.
He was up though, not exactly like acat, but
up all the same, and rushing blndly ut the
Windy City representative he administered u
SOChuOijlgcf JnaJ ScnJ MIN against one OF inc
posts as il he had been hit with an AK.
The eleventh round was all O'Hern's. He
had Taylor groggy and blind all through it,
and hit him at Will
The twelfth was a repetition of the pre-
ccding round, save at its close Taylor gave
about as good as he received.
The thirteenth was opened by a straight
right-hander from Taylor on the side of
O'Hcrn's head, but the Chicago man got
back with interest, punching Taylor in his
sore eyes and bleeding mouth in style that
was sickening to behold.
In the fourteenth Taylor again took the in
itiative and catching O'HCrn with a swinging
right in the jaw, had him groggy, and the
next instant sent him down with hard body
blow. O'Hern arose quickly and, obcying an
admonition of his second, went after Taylor
like house a-tirc, but the calling of time put
a check to his good intentions.
He continued this determined onslaught in
the fifteenth and landed left and right in the
neck on the jaw and ribs at will Taylor was
nearly gone when time again saved him.
"Put on the kibosh!n called O'Hern's sec
ond, as he made for his man in the sixteenth,
and this he would have done without adoubt,
for his first smash sent Taylor sprawling on
his back, and when he arose like u drunken
man, it was clear the end was near. Again
O'Hern smashed the bleeding, trembling,
staggering man, and he whirled like top,
then he took another in the ribs, and was fast
succumbing to the terrible onslaught when
Chief of Police Maloney jumped through the
ropes and stopped the fight.
A scene of wild confusion followed, but the
referee knew his business, and mounting
chair he said, "Gentlemen this fight is
draw
And the crowd scrambled from the hall,
some of them satisfied with the result, but
the majority very sore on Chief Maloney be-
Gauge he shut the affair off before O'Hern
could have gotten in one more blow, which
would have undoubtedly put the CORY Taylor
to sleep
