In the eighth Judge hooked his left into
Ryans stomach.
Round 9--Thls was the fastest of the
early rounds. Judge was at Ryan like n
hurricane forcing him about the ring
and battering away at Ryan's mouth
Judge crossed his left on the jaw Just
before the bell rang and had Ryan in
distress.
Round 1O-Ryan was showing the effects
of Judges fast work. The Scrantonian's
left was working like Il piston and usu-
ally finding its mark Once Judge re-
ceived q right in the back of the neck.
Ryan was very tired and his lips were
badly swollen and his nose bleeding.
Round 11--Thcre had been only an oc-
casional tricke of blood from judges
nose and mouth during the few preceding
rounds. In this one he always had Ryan
clinching and once forced him to drop
on one knee and avoid punishment
Round l2-Twice Tommy Ryan dropped
to his knee to rest Judge continues to

His arms fell across Ryan's shoulders
and clung there as near to dOpedom as
did ever a boxer and stand up under the
strain. 1t was with difficulty that Ref

his left on the face and a poorly directed

Round lS-Judge's gamencss was shown
when he slowly stepped from his cor
ner and made an attempt at clean fight

not able to prevent Judges clinches.
Round 19-Judge showed a wonderful
recovery and was after Ryan from the
start. Ryan missed a left swing for the
head, as did Judge. The latter put his
left twice on Ryans face but could find
