and soon tired. In the last three rounds |
Walsh started his stiff fighting and in |

was to score a knockout. The next bout |
was not up to expectations and in the |
sixth Referee Carr notified both that !
they must get busy" This evidently |
started Walsh. but Britt failed to re |
spond and in the eighth the tight was
stopped by the referee, who informed |
Britt that unless he did better work. |
the decision would be awarded to the |
Boston Boy and the contest would end. |
