covered consciousness. He lay prone IN
the corner of the ring while his seconds
worked over him, trying to bring MIN
back He was breathing hard, but was
unconscious. He had to be carried from
the ring, and regained consciousness IN
| the dressing-room. The Knockout
came unexpectedly. Leeds did all the
leading in the first ten rounds, and was
completely exhausted when he was put
to sleep. The blow was mild one, and
the Atlantic City boy went out from
sheer exhaustion. The utmost secrecy
was observed while Leeds lay in the
dressing-room. The newspaper report
ers were denied admission, and the po-
lice were called in TO help keep the re-
porters out 1t was learned that when
the ammonia bottle was placed to
Leeds nose after he was brought to the
dressing-room he became conscious
for a moment. 1t was only momenta-
rily, however, for he relapsed into un-
consciousness again soon after.
At just II 40 o'clock Leeds opened his
eyes and moved his head. Conscious
ness returned slowly but surely, and
few minutes before u O'Clock Leeds was
assisted from the clubhouse and taken
to New York.
