When the fight began Burke lowered
over McSherry by half head. He was
broad and muscular. The college man
looked like anything but a well-trained
athlete. He didn't have half of Burke's
muscular development. He was rather
pleasant, good-looking fellow. 1t seemed
q shame as they came together for It
was evident in an instant that he might
know a little about gymnasium boxing,
but nothing at all about actual fighting

black eyes sparkled with pleasure and
anticipation.
