on he had things all his own way.

Abe worked hts arms like piston rods. and
the padded fists hit Pal hard many times

q back-hand left blow with great force
that opened up q way to freedom.
Abe dropped Moore to the mat in the
fourth round with q hard right hook to

he took eight for count: The knock
down seemed to rouse all Of Moore's
fighting blood, for he jumped up briskly
at the call OF eight and fairly smoth-

he ripped in two let's to the face. Moore's
face was badly bunged up on the left
side, the eye receiving the brunt of the
fusillade.
