stomach. The eastern champion dou-
bled up like jackknife and fell over

ring gasping for breath. but managed
to get up before the ten seconds were
counted. Neil went at his man like
Young tiger and rained a shower of
blows on the almost defenseless Forbes.
Onother blow in the stomach sent
Forbes down again and Referee Graney
counted him out Neil evidently did
not hear the end of the count. for as
Forbes struggled to his=fRet Neil land

man under the ropes. There was a
vigorous cry Of foul from the Forbes

Considerable interest was manifested in
this contest. as the men had met before,
when Neil claimed a foul. which was
not allowed by the referee and the de-
