TO avoid Carriers onsaughts by clever
foot work. O'Brien managed to dodge
nearly a dozen blows, any ono OF which

wind. O'Brien landed first and soon had
the blood flowing from over Carter's eye,
which later gave him some trouble. In
the same round O'Brlen caught Carter
on the jaw while his guard was open
and tho BroolSlyn man was sent rock
ing across the stage. The second round

enough to put him out, Carter was a

and tried TO land knock-ou blow OH
