straight lefts on the face and after
Moore had swung hard right on the
jaw. the gong saved O'Brien. Moore
had a decided advantage during the
third round, but in the fourth O'Brien
made the contest very interesting
Both played for body and face, but
O'Brien did not please the experts by
his fancy movements. In the fifth
round Moore fought cleverly, but
tO'Brien went back at him with rapid
work, using both hands on the body
and face. Moore protected his jaw
with the left mitten, but the force of
the blow was so strong that 1t reached
Moore's jaw, and the ST. Paul man
went down and out in short order
