effective, and after planting his right
to Jaw several times he had English at
a disadvantage, but could not finish
him. Both showed great gameness, but
were weak at the gong.
The fourth was another rough house
session with English coming back with
surprising strength after a preceding
grilling round. English played his
superior cleverness to make openings,
and landed some effective wallops.
Both boys staggered under the effect
of the blows they stopped, but English
had a margin of advantage at the
gong.
Although very tired English went
after Herberts in the'fifth in a man
ner that several times threatened to
end the bout, but he lacked steam in
his blows and could only rock Herberts'
head. Herberts was stronger at the
gong, but English had done the more
effective fighting in the round.
Lack of condition plainly showed in
the battle that English put up in the
sixth. Although he landed almost at
will on the jaw and head of Herberts,
his blows lacked steam and all he could
do was to rock Herberts' head and
stagger him a bit. At that English
had good lead in this round
The seventh round was a repetition of
the preceding ones, being all English
but again English failed to muster
enough steam to land the knockout
that several times was imminent. He
had Herberts bleeding freely at the
mouth and several times staggered
Herberts with right swings to the jaw

onto the ropes in a dazed condition, but
could not finish him.
English increased his lead in the
eight and had Herbents bleeding freely
from the mouth and nose from the eff
feet of straight left jabs, but although
again finding 1t easy to hit Herberts
almost at will, he was unable to put
him out. English had a good lead and
slowed up a bit, as if saving himself
for the finish.
The history of the ninth round was
a repetition of the preceding ones.
English did not try any strenuous ex-
ercises, but he walloped Herberts every
time the latter got too close, and never
took any punishment on his own ac-
count Herberts, as usual, was bleed
ing freely at the end of the round.
Herberts tried to make a rally in the
tenth, but all he could do was to es-
English was entirely too clever for him.
and after they had mixed 1t In lively
fashion for nearly two minutes Eng
lish caught Herberts with a left hook
to the jaw that staggered Herberts into
the ropes, and 1t seemed that another
blow would finish him. He recovered
and stuck out the round, however, by
good noodle work. English had such
a big lead at the end that there was
no question regarding his right to the
decision.
The windup card was the affair be-
tween Bubbles Robinson and Ad Vol
CAST, scheduled for ten rounds. There
was little delay after the English Her
berts bout until the boys appeared in
the ring. Wolgast came into the ring
first, attended by Teddy Murphy, Mau-
rice Sayers, Hobo Dougherty, Mortimer
Swanson and Louis Meripol. Bubbles
followed a moment later, attended by
the Congo Coon, Artie Reynolds, Harry

boys were sent on their way by the
gong.
