in his class" His last fight was pulled
off about fifteen miles from Seattle, his
opponent being Billy Scott. There were
four rounds and it was demonstrated
beyond a question that Case was the
best man." although Scott showed a

the jaw. 1t was eight seconds before he
was up and at work again and during
the four rounds he pluckily returned
