The fight was to have been a
long one which was agreed on by
both contestants to be to a finish.
Both trained hard for the bout
and were very confident of win
ming. The fight was good while
it lasted, but no one was looking
for the finish so early. Wren was
the favorite, 6 to 5 and a con-

lost, the purse being $3.50.
FIGHT BY ROUNDS.
Round Both men rushed to
the center of the ring, but were
very cautious. Ross had left for
jaw but received hard right in
the lower regions that made him

followed up what he thought
was his advantage and Ross
caught him with right and left
on the jaw. Ross round.
Round Wren rushed, but
Ross left jags were SO effective
that he held the redoubtable

an opening and swung right to

Round 3-Ross rushed to finiss:

right swing that lifted him off
his feet, but was up and beat
Wren until he was covered with
blood. Round even.
