him to whiri half around. Jake followed this
mp with terrific right and left facers, and the
round ended in his favor.
In the third, after light interchange, Jake
went for Slavin again and hammered him to the
ropes, but this seemed the end OF his strength,
for soon after Slavin shot out his right and
caught Jake under the left ear. Down Kilrain
went like log. He managed to stagger to his
feet but il was evident his strength was gone.
After another clinch he received another terrible
blow, which feled him to the stage. Painfully
and hall insensibiy Jake managed to stagger to
his knees and the gong saved him.
Tho fourth round had barely opened when
down he went again Those terrible heart blows
had evidently done their work. Jake was out of
IT, Blood was pouring from his nose, which
was said to be broken, and this, combined with
the water on both mems bodies. made them hor-
rible looking objects. Four times did Jake go
to grass in this round, but again and again he
rallied, although there was no force in his
blows, while slavin was full of strength and
confidence Right and left handlers we re show
cred upon Kilrain, whose only chance OF stay
Ing ten rounds was by clinching, and in doing
this he was sure to meet rib-roasting.
In the fifth Jake landed repeatedly on Slavin's
head without result, and soon another terrible
Highlander sent him down and nearly put
him 10 sleep. Once Slavin had Jake in his
tslavin's) corner in puddle of water and was
about to pound him there, when Referee Dunn
interferred. The Australian tried 20 push Dunn
aside, but the referee insisted, and the gong
gave Jake another lease of life.
In the sixth round there were more clinches.
and again those dreadful body blows beneath
Kilrain's heart Jack seemed TO pick up little,
and landed a neat upper-cut on Slavin's jaw,
but in the elinch which followed he again suf-
fercd severely. Jake was little more than
ehopping block for the Australian, and had IL
not been that both men were dripping with
water and the hard leather gloves were slippery,
slayins blows would have finished Jake before.
In the seventh Slavin no sooner got in range
than he went for Jake's ribs with the same vim
as in the first round. After breaking away they
exchanged few Intellectual long-range blows,
which only further demonstrated Jakes help
lessness. Blood literally poured down his face.
Some good exchanges were given, however.
Jake landing once fairly with what seemed TO
be q anal effort, which only made slavin smile.
In the eighth Jake went in for his saving
clinch, and throughout the round the referee
was kept busy separating the men. Jake once
landed his lett on Slayin's head, but there was
no force in the blow, and in the clinch which
followed Siavin gave Jake one in the ribs The
sound OF the blow was actually heard outside of
the club house. The sympathy of iority of
the audience was with Kilrain who was dying
sopluekily, as he really was beaten in the sec
ond round
In the ninth and last round Jake managed to
come to the scratch in pretty good shape, but
si'er s.aNin had landed upon him once or twice
ne was again OF blood. He managed,
no"sSer' to get in two good blows on Slavin's
neau, though there was little force Ia them
