draw. This decision was fair and Just.
but II did not satisfy a number Of persons
who had picked a favorite.
O'Brien forced the fighting. but Erne's
work was OF a cleaner and more scientific
character. O'Briens blows fell with IA
force that was not behind Ernes II was
the old case OF clean boxer against "a
hurricane tighter. OF the two " Brieu's
face bore the worse marks. Both his eyes
were badly damaged, and his mouth aud
nose were pufred up. Erne's left eye was
smashed. but this will not hurt him half
as much as the punishment he received on
the body during the mill. O'Brien invari-
ably got in piledriving blows on the stOm-
ach, ribs and kidneys, and the frequent
visitations Of his fists left red welts on
the Buffalo mans body.

Both were covered with blood, but
O'Brien's face was the worst loOklng,
both eyes being bunged up and his mouth
badly puffed.
When the gong finished the bout neither
