ms offensive tactics were futile. and his de-

unable to hit Holcombe with any erfect

suit as the darkey seemed 90 be able 70
stand an awful amount OF punching and
then he generally gave as good as nc re-

swinging left that landed full on the point
of the jaw. IL followed several lighter

made feeble effost to continue the fight,
but was unable to get on his feet within
the prescribed ten seconds. II is claimed
Tor Nally that he had not properly trained,
and that he was not IN frst-class condition.
Many who saw the night are still OF the
opinion that Nally is the better man. and
that in another fight he could reverse tho
decision of last night.
