times, once sending him clear through the
ropes into the audience. but McGann
climbed back with smile before the
count OF ten was up.
McGann was knocked through the ropes
and on the stage twice during the six
rounds. and after the fight he said that

or he could not place them right was
evident The knockdowns which he ad-

blows. The crowd was with McGann
after he had come UP from the sixth
knockdown, and cheered him wildly.

In this case extra contests will be ar
ranged to decide the rubbers

would make the former team tied with
