McFadden Is noted as one Of the best
defensive fighters in the ring. He Is
also one OF the strongest and toughest
pugilists and is a very powerful hitter
He has never been knocked out and has
never even been sent 70 the floor In a
groggy state. McFadden's main fault is
lack OF aggressiYeness when he thinks
his opponent is dangerous, and this has
several times lost him battles he would
otherwise have won.

opponent and takes any punishment he
may get In the hope Of delivering a
knockout blow meanwhile Now this
style OF fighting is exactly suited 20

the great obligation under which he

his production Of "Cyrano de BerRerac,"

ground that the role OF Flambeau was
not suited 10 his style and method.
There may have been absolutely moth

well have been true, for Coqueln was
