the preliminary of ten rounds at 1870
pounds, put up a rafting bout
Thomas was the aggressor and out
pointed his opponent to 1. Up to the
end of the fifth round when the bell
rang neither of the fighters seemed to
have heard the gong, and they con-
tinued fighting viciously until separated
by the referee. In the sixth round
Riley began wrestling and threw Thorn

the referee. Then Thomas knocked
him down with a right swing, but was
in turn thrown by another wrestling
match. The referee then disqualified
Riley. Thomas was very justly de-
clared the winner.
