was little execution until the twentieth.

gruelling punishment he had endured.

again by a succession of well placed
smashes about the body.

Knocked out by the referee. When he
had been taken to his corner and re-
gained consciousness he declared he had
been struck below the belt and claimed
foul. Referee Roche refused to enter
tain the claim, however and paid no
attention to Sullivan's protest.
