The men entered the ring at 1880 and
after being given a short talk by Doe
Krone. the referee and shaking hands,
they started in. Anderson met Papke
with a left to the jaw which was re-
turned BY Papke. Anderson then tried
his rushing tactics to get Papke to the
rOpes. This was where Anderson MADE
his mistake Instead Of going TO the
ropes Papke met his man and cleverIy
blocked a left swing to the jaw. see

one to Andersons neck, following with
a right to the jaw and two sti1 upper
cuts that put Anderson down for the

get up but only fell back in an ex-
hausted condition. Papke stood in his
corner with a smile on his face and

After the fight Papke said: Il eX-
nActed To nut Anderson out before the
limit was reached, but when 1 saw the
chance in the first round I thought
then was as good time as any. I

20 years old.
Anderson says: Il have no excuses
10 make. / was knocked out and
knocked out square I see now where
I made my mistake. and that was in
trying to rush him to the ropes /
should have made him the aggressor
and had I done 50 I am sure the result
would have been different. 1 have
knocked more than one man out with
the same blow that Papke gave me.
| am going to try, though, and get an
other match with Papke. / will meet
him before any club on any PROPOSE
ton he wants; winner take all and
would like a side bet along with it.
