though a head taller than Wolcott, was
kept busy The first round was occupied
by sparring for an opening The second
was a hot n1x-up, but neither scored In
the third, Referee Burke had to caution
the fighters, and told them the fight
would go fair or not at all. This round
ended about the same as the previous
round. In the fourth round WOlcott had
the best of it, but Morris got first blood.
The round ended with a lively mix-up,

closed by fast and furious fighting. and
Wolcott had the best OF it as the gong
