Mollie Mcdonald, Doc Croll and
Shanghai Murphy made up the Beers
train of attendants. Billy Jordan sent
the boys away and from the first round
until the finish it was a soft job for
Jack Welsh He didn't even muss his
cerlse necktie. Unholz evidently held
Thompson high in his affections for he
pressed him to his bosom in the first
round and the only time he would let
go was TO step back to get some air.
From the moment the fighters put up
their hands the tight fans realized that
another jest was being perpetrated on
them, but they took it good naturedly
The rough necks in the gallery began
the spectators in fthe better seats took
up the cry and they kept it up until
the bitter end.
Mollie Mcdonald kept yelling at the
Boer to fight low, but this caution was
unnecessary.
The opening spasm was one vicious
round of wrestling and hugging. I'm

knee cap, but apolOgized, and the ref
cree let il go at that without a dis
qualification. Thompson managed to
reach the BOer with a couple of light
jabs in the stomach.

The third round was almost as bad
as the second. The fighters were play

kept after him and Unholz resumed
his wrestling tactics.
In the fourth period Thompson real
lied that he had 2 tapioca before him
and started to hammer Unholz around
the ring. The Boer managed to keep
Thompson off by clinching and only
showing the top Of his head. Once
Unholz stuck his chin out too far
while coming in and Thompson hooked
his left right TO the point and Rudy

clinch.
IN the fifth round Mollie Mcdonald
beseeched the South African to box
cleverly. Unholz looked puzzled at
these instructions and seemed to want
an Interpreter to find out what his
second was trying to tell him. Thomp
son shook Rudolph up a good bit in
this round and the Boer kept trekking
around the ring as though he We're

In the sixth round Unholz forgot
himself and tried to fight. Thompson
soon convinced him of the error of his
way by cutting him around the ears
and occasionally sending in singing
lefts and rights to the stomach
Thompson tried new tactics in the
seventh round. Very likely in the ex-
citement of the going the cyclone
thought he had a boxing glove on his
head and led with his mob for Unholz's
chin. 1t was a cruel butt that Thomp-
son handed the Boer, and when Rudy
went back to his corner his forehead
was cut and bleeding from the bump.
The eighth and ninth periods were
worse than any of the preceding
rounds. Rudy evidently could see his

wrestle any more. He didn't seem to
want to crowd Thompson any and kept
backing around the ring with Thomp-
