times during each minute, but Wright
was quick to crowd his opponent upon
the first sign of weakness, and in an
other minute had him pinned against
the ropes of the ring In Wright's own
corner.
There was clinch, but Wright still
crowded and swinging blow with the
right hand struck the helpless Cole

instantly he dropped to the floor limp
