his right. and left on the chest. Mccoy
tried a left for the head, which Bonner

laughing.

the mouth and repeated IL a second later,

the clinches. Mccoy opened the sixth with
a left on the mouth. and Jack crossed his
right to the head. A lot of rough work fol-
lowed. in which each man took his share.

as he was unable to go on, the ~Pennsylva-
mans seconds threw up the sponge.
