CURDELL AND C0RNYN BOX
TO Fifteen ROUND DRAW

Jack Cordell reached the arena a
few minutes after Pat. and the re.
eeption that he was given must have
shown him how popular he Is with
everyone The Marines were pres.
ent in force. and they rooted as one
mar for Jack. Cofdell wore white
trunks and. although looking conf

Billy warham did the announc.

Bert Bower held the watch that

and u led left. but Pat blocked u
easily. Then Cornyn repeated the
business. and rushed Into q clinch.
The men hung on for some time
and then as Jack got free he tried
a right swing for the Jaw, but fai e |

ring, The round was Cordeli's, and
his supporters looked pleased with
themselves.
The third spasm was Cordell's by
a mile. and Pat took some. hard
! punches in the face. In fact. he
was not too happy when the round
ended. and many peope thought
that Cordell had Cornyn safe.
However In the fourth round
Corpyn did better. and he fought
back and clInched whenever things
became too hot. In the clinches
Jack kept hammerng away at the
kidneys. and soon red spot began
to appear on Pats back. In thA
clinches Pat tried some uppercuts,
and then visited the dinner depart

He danced in and out like two

cut loose and tried again and again
to knock Pat out with a right ia

The lucky seventh saw the tide
turn In Pats favor, aud although
Jack still forced 'he hghting. his

however, kept Pat in his own cor
