Couhig, of Dunkirk, N. Y, was tonight

no harm. In the third round Connolly
was knocked down and took the count to
six In the eleventh round Couhig
changed his tactics and made a chopping
block of his opponents head and face,
Connolly being powerless to defend him
self. He was knocked down with a left
swing, but on the count of nine was on
his feet, only TO be hammered all over
the ring till the fight was stopped The
men weighed in at 1873 pounds. Before
