Both missed light left leads. Myers legs
seemed weak and McAuliffe tried to coax
him to lead, in the hope Of crossing him
with the right as he came in. Myer was too
foxy, however, and would not be gulped
that way.
ROUND i2-The referee jumped to the CEN

though nothing unfair had been attempted,
and the men were permitted to box. Myer
missed a left for the head, and nearly fell,

The Wilfiamsburger was made the recip-

fact that New Orleans was known as Myer
city. The Williamsburger' seconds opened
champagne in his corner, while Myer was
offered glass of wine by his conqueror,
which was accepted, and a hearty handshake
wound up the greatestsbatrle recorded in the
class since the days of Billy Ed

those good old timers of the days gone by. !
Myer Wasn't In Il.
Any close observer of men, any keen
studen of human impulse, saw at the out
set that in his heart Myer did not expect to
defeat his opponent. There was in his
stolid face no CLINT of hard resolve.
He was there because the match |
was made. because he had been |
trained for the encounter, because others,
if not himself, believed there was chance |
for him to succeed. The two men are |
scarcely to be compared as to scientific |
form. One shambled, the other trod firmly.
One slouched loosely as he squared away,
the other was alert, springy, confident.
The offensive throughout the battle was
assumed by McAuliffe. Myer, to be sure,
led occasionally. He could not always
stand and wait and gave his foe his own
time for rest.
