him. Erne then sent a succession of
left and right swings on Lavigne's
head and face, which made the Kid
groggy. In less than half a minute

Kid came back, landing occasionally on
the head, and it looked as though the
Kid would go out.

much of his speed. Erne watched his
opportunity, and instead of forcing the
fighting, waited for Lavigne to come

of the mill when the bell sent them to
their corners.

bruised when he came up for this
round and E,rne showed no signs of

in quick succession on his mouth and
nose. Lavigne tried left for the face
but received forceful left uppercut in
the wind, which Erne followed up with
a right on the ribs. ETne was now do
ing the forcing and sent his left and
