Tivermore followed it up with another

backing away fast and neither bloW
struck sduarely. Harris did some dirty
lighting in the third, for which he was
cautioned by the referee and hooted by
the crowd. He struck Livermore TOO
low two or three times. Livermore con-
tinued to play his right hooks to the
law, and again led on points by count

Iivermore increased his lead slightly
in the fourth round, although Harris
put more steam into his blows and
fought more aggressively than in the
preceding rounds LiVermore fought
coolly and with good effect and had
the shade at the gong. Harris fought
LiVermore to a standstill in the fifth

Troubles over the six-round route
Hobo showed more aggressiveness than
usual in the opening round and thereby

self Dougherty continued to pile up
points in the third, and by showing a
better judgment of distance and more
cleverness he scored frequently and
took very little punishment in return.
Dougherty added to his lead in the
fourth by keeping up an incessant
shower of blows to the head and jaws,
and two or three times had Troubles

of lack of steam behind the blows
The fifth round was beauty. Troubles

also landed effectively with right and

cash under Troubles right eye. 1t was
