They met again the following October, in san ] Francisco, and the white man lutied Walcott to sleep in the seventh round. Both fights were of the whirfwi1d or der. After the Hartford seance both were compelled to take a week off to recover from the effects of each oth- CTS punneling.

 The first preliminary was between Al Greenfield of England and Tom Wilson of Philadelphia. It went the limit of six rounds and was won by Greenfield.
 The second preliminary, between Dick Grant of HaverhiH and Tommy Devfne of Boston, was fast and good light. It went the scheduled eight rounds. and Devine, who had forced the serapping, received the decision.
 Walcott was the first of the big men fo enter the ring. George Byers, Frank Kaveny and Joe Bresna1ran, his seconds, accompanied him. Carters reception was enthusiastic. Patsy Haley. Joe Macias and Kid Rowland looked after him. Carter protested against Walcott's gloves, but the diff culty was soon settled The betting was even as the men went to their corners, Carter looking in splendid condition and Wlafcott fit for a great fight.
