berjack who was as strong as a
6-year old mule.
Tommy at first baked, but when
he saw the misery Fitz was in he
consented to take the Cornish
mans place. Ryan generally isn't
afraid of anything; he has boxed
as much with heavyweights, as he
has middleweights. and he is used
to the heavy swings.
Well, when he stepped into the
ring on this particular night he
felt a bit nervous when he saw
what he was up against. The big
fellow didn't have any fighting
clothes on, but he had pair of
arms that looked like piles with a
couple of hammers attached to
them.
When time was called the big
fellow who had been nsed to roll
ing logs around in the woods made
a run for him and bounced one of
his fists at Tommy's head. AS
every fight fan knows. a pugilist
always hits straight out, jabs or
swings. That wasn't the case with
this fellow. He swung his arms as
if he were chopping a log in two.
The bout went along until the
third round. Tommy says that his
head by this time resembled a
clothes rack, There were bumps
sticking out all over the back and
top of it, The lumber jack hadn't
hit him once in a tender spot.
Near the end of the third round
Ryan saw that he was In a predic-
ament that would mean not only
loss of the forfeit purse, but y lot
of kidding from Fitzsimmons and
his party.
The lumberjack was beginning
to tire some, so Tommy sailed in,
and only the fighter who has met
Ryan In the ring or training camp
knows what that means.
Ryan passed over an uppercut
that almost sent the big fellow
over into the audience. The next
one reached the big fellows solar
plexus and down he went like a
log. Why. the whole building
shook, said Fitzsimmons, after
Ryan had returned to his dressing
room.
