Reilly always made dash at the start
but sobered down upon receiving one Of
Woods terrific punches. The white man
quickly rallied, however, and resumed
hostilities, as il he liked the game and
enjoyed the beating handed out to him.
"In the six rounds OF fighting, Reilly
was sent to the mat 10 times. He went
down, however, from such blows as would
have rendered Bob Fitzsimmons out for
keeps had he received one or two from
Gardner. There was no tapping about it,
each blow was sent home for keeps. On
the boat up from Oakland Reilly admitted
that he was beaten, but was willing to
take another chance with Woods.
Eddie Grancy, who acted as referee
OF the bout, announced at its conclusion
that the contest sayored more of the real
thing than any fight he had ever wit,
messed. i never in my life saw such a
determined fighter as Woods, said
Grancy. lie has terrific punching powers
and has the ability to put Joe Grim or any
