been going on for a dozen rounds pre-
vious. Cans hit me low frequently,
much lower the blow which Siler
said fouled him. 1t was not a swing,
it was not below the belt. The coon
had me in a grip of iron at the time
and I couldn't have injured him if I
wanted to.
IN the ~forty-frst round he vom-
tied terribly and staggered up to me in
the final round. He did the clinching,
not me. He simply grasped both my
hands and hung on. When we were
close to his corner, he facing his sec
