Kaufman gave Sam Berger an awful

onds. Berger foored him again with
a left to the same spot. Kaufman
again took the count OF nine and was
up and fighting. In clinch Berger
threw him to the mat again, but
Kaufman came up strong and fought
back hard.
After the third round Kaufman
fought In close and did damaging
work with right and left upper cuts
that Berger apparently could not
avoid In the last few rounds he grew
steadily weaker, while all the time
Kaufman was boring In and upper
cutting in clinches. In the ninth
roud Berger went down for the count
from right on the jaw. He got up
and Kaufman slugged him all through
the rest Of the round. When the tenth
round opened Kaufman went at his
man and very soon beat him into
state Of utter heIplessness. Berger
could not hold up his hands or head
and was just about to fall to the floor
when his seconds threw up the sponge.
