in the Tenth Round.

New Orleans, Dec. 2S.-Jack DAILY and
Jack Everhardt met before the Tulane

would not issue a permit for more than
10 rounds, and charged $500 for that.
Everhardt said he had trained for 20
rounds and refused to go on until he
received an agreement that If both
men were on their feet at the end of
the 10th round the fight should be de-
ciared draw. Everhardt tried to
make 1t a rough and rushing fight from
the start but DAILY was clever enough
TO keep away from punishment DaIy's
lett was weak, so that there was not
much harm done until the seventh
when DAILY learned to use his right
and kept ii going on the body. In
the 10th round Days right did
rushing business on Everhardt's BODY
and there was danger of a Knockout.
Then Everhardt clinched and wrestled
and saved his skin until time was call
ed, and Referee Duffy declared it
