In the opening rounds many of his
leads went far over Tremble's head, but
the purpose was evident Tremble is
clever at ducking and avoided several
well meant leads. O'Brien, however,
when making an extra wild lunge let
loose an apparently disconnected grunt

Tremble refused to be taken in and
Jack started after him in the eighth.

A grand finale occurred in the fifth
round, however, when Haines acci-

the blood in torrents. Godfrey was a
slight and in a wild rush endeavored to
clinch with Haines. Referee Robinson
was the nearest at hand and Godfrey
grasped him in a bear-like embrace.

Robinson decided that would be about
