to make a move. He feinted with his
right, but did not lead.
Mcmillan evidently thought that he in
tended to do so as he guarded with his
left and duckiug low made a pass at the
stomach. As he got away Raedy weakly
made an attempt TO upper cut him and
then smiled at his failure aud walked TO
the far side of the ring.
Mcmillan followed him and sparring for
an opening landed a straight left hand jab
that though il fell somewhat short, sur
prised Pat with the ease in which he got
it in. 1t landed fun on his right optic,
but did no damage whatever.
Both men then moved to the center OF the
ring and Mac made Il pass with his left
aud falling short swung with his right
and caught Kaedy blow on the ear that
bowled him completely over. He did not
go all the way down as he caught himself
with his right hand aud in moment was
up aud in position.
