did not make the desired connection with
Carter's jaw.
Carter opened proceedings in the fifth
with a hard right swing to the head.
Gardner came back with left to the body
and then stumbled leaving himself wide
open. Carter was not properly balanced
to take advantage of the opportunity and
lost it, He went at Gardner fiercely for
the remainder of the round A right to
the head seemed to rattle Gardner slight
ly. They exchanged rights, Carter get
ting the worst of the bargain Carter
then landed a left to the body and one to
the head, and just at the bell uppercut
Gardner.
Carter made a brilliant showing in the
first half of the sixth. He sent two lefts
to the jaw and followed them with a
right to the body. He staggered Gardner
with two rights to the body. These were
his last effective blows. In a clinch
Gardner's terrible right shot up between
Carter's arms and started him on the
down grade. Gardner then stood and pep
pered him with rights and lefts to the
head as Walcott did in their memorable
fight. Carter finally went down under the
fusilade. The bell saved him and he was
carried to his corner.
He had no defense in the seventh and
his brain must have been in a terrible
whirl. Gardner was over anxious and
missed one chance for left swing When
Carter seemed helpless he turned on his
opponent and plugged in his right to the
body. He took an avalanche of blows and
again came back Unexpectedly with q
right to the jaw. Carter went down again
and was again saved by the gong at the
end of the round.
This only meant prolonging the agony.
He took blows which would have felled
an OK and would not stop fighting until
finally his senses deserted him and he
went down limp, inanimate object on the
floor Of the ring.
The ten seconds quickly sped by and the
fight was over. Gardner tried to praise
Carter for his gameness, but all he could
DO was to tap him on the shoulder with
his gloved hand.

rounds He finally got the range and
played effectively for Snailham's head
In the seventh round Snailham stumbled
and his opponent was quick to take adj
vantage of the opening. He ripped a
right to Snailham's stomach, but the lat
ter recovered his balance and landed a
right to the head, knocking Gilfeather
down. Gilfeather had much the better of
the eighth round and in the ninth did
good execution with his left Snailham

tenth round did not change the aspect of
the fight and it was declared a draw.

Winnie OConnor and John Grove was
declared a draw, although O'Connor did

looked like miniature Of Bob Fitz-
| simmons as to build and with typical
| ''scrapper's dial' of a face, was full of
| fight. The boys went the first two rounds
at half speed, but the remainder of the
bout was full Of fighting O'Connor
walked into a hard right in the third
which drew blood to his nose. In the last
