MISUNDERSTANDING
To His Corner, Beaten

Il was hard to tell how II would end.
The common sense view Of II was that
Kaufman, with his superior natural
advantages, his greater weight, and
his well-known hitting power, would
eventually gain the mastery, but an
occasional squirt on Barry's part kept
everyone guessing.
Murphy says that It was after the
twentieth round that Barry was at
Kaufman's mercy. There surely was
nothing wrong with Barry's fighting
equipment in the twentieth round.
for he cuffed Kaufman's face to his
hearts content In that three min
utes' space of fighting, backing big
Al to the ropes and sending in lefts
and rights in turn. Barry was pref
ty roughly mauled in the twenty
third round, and again in the TWEEN
lty-fourth, and just about this time
Teddy Murphy, from Barry's corner,
was doing some tall coaching.
Have It ready and let 1t go!" Yell
ed Murphy, and one only had to
watch Barry moment to get the
meaning of the advice. Whenever
Barry heard Murphys voice he let
fly n threatening Highlander in the
direction of Kaufman's jaw. This
was what he was to have ready and
let go, and why Murphy should be
taking so much trouble In urging
Barry to use hand that was sup
posed to be crippled after the TWEEN
tieth round isn't very clear. Maybe,
however, the purpose was simply to
lintimidate Kaufman.
And still the rounds OF sameness.
1t was Barry ducking, clinching or
loosening with rush, with a show
er OF lefts and rights, OF Kaufman
towering and probing for an open
ing. The twenty-eighth round start
ed with never anything that bore the
faintest resemblance to a knockdown
up to that moment, and then Kauf-
man began to work a left shift. He
missed with It occasionally. but he
shifted in timely fashion in the TWEEN
, lty-ninth and Barry received Earring
: crack on the jaw. The thirtieth
, round found Kaufman doing neater
J work, and Barry's eye, which was al
! ready puffed. was pretty tightly clos.
ed
In the thirty-second round II look
ed bad for both men in turn. For a
while Barry reached Kaufman's face
, with the left, and the blood came
: down over Kaufman's lips and chin
} Then Al had good luck In timing
Barry's rushes with right uppercuts
and Barry began to look like loser
The thirty-fourth round found
Barry slightly In trouble from a RICH
= uppercut at the beginning, and he
acted as though he wanted to lose or
I u foul. In any case, he smashed ava,
I at Kaufman's body with little care
5 as to the direction OF his blows.
E In the thirty-fifth Barry sprung .
5 surprise, both on Kaufman and thu
Q spectators. While wading in will
a his head lowered he cut loose with I
y. left-hand swing that took Kaufman
Z. between the eyes, and almost sen
him to the floor. Al seemed to sitter
himself while STOPPING and thus pre-
n vented the fall. Then he straight
r ened and started in again as fresh a
z paint.
o From this point on Barry tough
= In a logged, hopeless way. His guar
s was poor. and he received many
y shock from AIS right. Barry los
!. lground steadily in the thirty-sixtl
n and thirty-seventh rounds, and thel
L came the thirty-eighth. and the frs
IS knock down OF the night.
