t The result was a great surprise to all
concerned with the exception of Moore.
| who was the most confident boy in the
| world when he entered the ring. With
out detracting in the least from Moore S
credit it must be said that Driscoll did
not display half the cleverness and speed
that he showed against Abe Attell and
other pugilistic stars on his former visit
to these shores.
! Jem became easily winded and ap-
peared to have lost the judgment of dis
| lance and the remarkab BILE accuracy that
characterized his boxing when he fought
| Grover Hayes in the same ring year
ago.
Moore on the other hand was in SUI
perb condition. His footwork was speedy.
| his headwork clever and his general
| shape grand. There were no knock
downs. 1t was simply a test of condition,
and Moore won.
Scrappers Arrive.
After the prelims everybody stretched
until d great cheer announced the ap-
proach of Moore Pal was accompanied
by Jimmie DE Forest, his manager and
his brother, Frank Moore. Another cheer
greeted Driscol he sprans through the
ropes. Charlie Harvey, Jimmy Johnson
and Boyo Driscol took care of Jim. After
the gloves were adjusted Jack Michigan
entered the ring to act as referee. Jack,
who looked peaked, received great ova-
ton from the crowd.
Moore started with d left lab that Dris-
coll ducked. and then began a hurricane
mix from which Moore emerged with g
bloody nose. Pal then put over three
ia bs to Driscoll's nose and they mixed IL
again. Both Travelled at a rapid pace and
honors were even when the bell rang.
DriscOl opened the second with Il left
to the body and then began some great
infghting. Moore having the better of it
at this style. Driscoll evened it up with
a good left before the bell sounded.
Moore Punches Hard.
They threw science TO the winds for a
while and slugged in the third, Moore
beating Drscol to the punch. Jem see
ing that he was second best at this style

The fourth round was Moores. He
forced the milling at a lightning pace,
and had Driscoll missing and holding be-
fore the round was a minute old. Jem
rushed and missed, but Moore put over
some hard ones that made the crowd
wild. It was Moore's round
Moore more than kept pace with Drs-
coll in the fifth. He slammed in wallops
| in the clinches at long range and when
rushing in. Driscoli appeared to tire in
the round, and again Moore had shade
the better Of it.
Then came the sixth Moore cut loose
and began throwing punches right and
left. DriscOll, cool, tried to stem the
PUSHES, but was unable to do so, and
finally met them with counter rlIshes.
But the Philadelphia was the fresher
and stronger, and although Driscoll land
ed good one to the jaw it apparently
had no effect on Pal. They were going
hard when the bell ended il.
