the beginning Of the bout until TIE refer &c
tntersered and stopped the msIl. when
the ninth round had nearly expired. me
work OF both men was very rapid Cree

there was not word OF protest uttered
when the referee gave him she aght. There
were about 3.sdo persons present in the
clubhouse 70 see the fight
O Br3en WAS the FIRST 10 make his appear
ance for the stag bout. He was accompa-
NED by his seconds. Danny Mcbride.
'sSeotty'' Faulkner. Tim McGrath and
Jack B1rns. Creedon followed him MIN
ute later. eSquired by Jern Mace. So&ly
Smith and Benny Murphy. The men were
announced 30 60 twenty rounds at catch
weights Both men showed thu results OF
faithful training. When they shook hands
a $40 O'Clock Ereedon easily had the adj
vantage In height and reach.
Round l-Both opened with light lests
on the face. Then they mixed up with left
labs on the face ard rights on the body.
Creedon sent the left TO the head and body.
O'Brsen landed left on the body and
erection replied with left on the face.
OTBren Slammed his right and left on the
head and forced Creedon back After this
he planted two good lefts on the face with
out a return.
Round 2-rhey blocked cieverly until
OsBrlen lanSte right swing on the back
Of the head They then swung rights and
Ieftx on the face and neck without iet-up
for half q minute. Neither man showed
any effects from this rapid work at the call
OF time
Round 3-oBrien opened with left on
the face and right on the neck. Creedon
tabbed a left on the face. Creedon sent
hts left hard on the face and o. Br.en did
the same. O'Brien swung for the jaw,
but fell short. and Creedon placed his
right glove on the cheek. Both jabbed
lefts on the face.
Round 4-Creedon opened with a left lab
on the face. OBrisn swung his right on
the head and jabbed left on the ear.
Creedon landed a heavy right on the neck.
bat the blow did not stagger OBrien.
Creedon uppercut with left on the neck,
but O'Brien was still ready for him. Cree
don sent right on the neck and left on the
wind. O'Brien landed a left on the face
and swung right on the neck.
In the fifth. sixth. seventh and eighth
rounds the hghting was fast. Both men
landed on the face and body. but the
blows were ineffective. At the end of the
eighth both were seemingly very tired.
and a good blow would have finished either
man.
Round 9-They clinched at the start.
O'Brien landed left on the face and Cree
don backed away. He came back with a
left on the face. Dan put three lefts on
the face. and O'Brien landed left on the
face. Creedon kept up a constant slug
ging with both hands on o'Brien's head,
and O'Brien leaned over the Australian
TO avoid punishment. Dan still kept
smashing O Brien with both hands on the
head and face relentlessly. OBrien was
unable 10 defend himself. and the referee
stopped the bout. and awarded the fight
TO Creedon after two minutes and fifty
eight seconds of fighting in this round.
