In the fourth round Slavin had the
best Of it. In the fifth Jake was re-
peatedly knocked down. He rallied
wonderfully, but Slavin maintained in
his lead. In the sixth it was evident
that Jake was hardly able to stand the
punishment. In the seventh and eight
rounds Slavin had everything his way,
and Jake seemed not to be in it.
In the ninth round Kilrain was
knocked down, and although he ap-
peared to gain his feet in the prescribed
time the time keeper announced that the
fight was over.
I There is much excitement, and great
sympathy is expressed for Kilrain,
whose friends claim that he was un.
fairly treated. They assert that he
would have rallied in the next round,
though admitting that Slavin had de-
cidedly the best of it when the battle
was declared ended.
Slavin did not appear very much dis,
