ted his head into Graham's stomach
and winded him. Graham's friend cried
foul, but the referee paid no attention.
In the fourth round Graham did hin
first decided offensive work, and soon
had his man going. He planted left
and right in the groin, followed quick
ly by a left and right in the upper
chest, which sent Ford to the floor.
He. was unconscious for 10 minutes. The

an expert to say when the contest ceas-
ed to be scientific sparring exhibition
and became 4 prize fight, but Ford had
been completely Knocked out before
the expert saw anything wrong. Tho
principals, who had been placed under
$500 bonds to keep the peace, were not
moiested by the police.
