Jones' chest and ribs, which only made
Jones smile. He delivering both hands
on the Jaw, knocking Scotty off bis base.
At this stage a six footer wanted TO climb
over the ropes and claim a foul. The po-
lice rushed him off TO the cooler. Scotty
was down six seconds, but gameIy strug-
gled to his feet, only to be knocked down
again. Jones landed heavily in the pit
of his opponents stomach. Hill was
knocked over the ropes, but a piano
in the hall broke his fall, or he would
have been amongst the spectators. He
was on his feet Immediately, trying hard
10 stave off a knock out, which was now
staring him in the face. Jones now woke
up and fought his man all round the
ring, landing when and where he liked,
and Scotty being about to fall face down
warks, a vicious upper cut from Jones,
landed under the chin, placed Scotty on
his back. While the seconds we're being
slowly counted, Scotty took no notice of
the passing time. A bag pipe would
never have awakened him. The ten sec.
onds being up Jack Jones was declared
the winner. Ia thirty seconds Hill came
to, and rolling ever merely murmured,
fair play" Hill was badly punished.
Jones was strong and had few marks on
him. The fight lasted six minutes. The
