but spasmodic, and he would die away
before the bell sounded.
Only one one occasion did he seem
to have McGurn in difficulties, and
then it certainly seemed as though
he were about to hand out a sleeping
ticket but his strength was failing
fast; McGurn took a hand, and out
of what seemed to be a beaten man,
walked a fighter full of vigor. He
gave back more than he received,
and besides that Hoao wore himself
down by the way he attempted to
hit from awkward positions. His
crouching attitude too, was against
his delivering a full-powered blow, and
he failed to take advantage of his
greater height. The end came in the
fifth round. McGurn had the best
of it, and before the round was half
way through, Hoao after having re-
ceived some hard cracks, just cram
pied up, and sank to the floor. lie was
not knocked out at all; he simply
collapsed from exhaustion. He was
counted out, and it took some time to
revive him. McGurn was not APP
parently tired, and he did not seem
to be breathing heavily enough to
blow a match out.
Young Cans and Sarcone opened
the game. They fought well, and it
was even for some time. Both men
took and gave punishment, willingly
Sarcone seemed to be unhurt, while
Cans had an eye that was rapidly dis,
appearing before a swelling. Other
wise, however, he seemed to be I'M
hurt These two boys fought well
and clean, and Cans was knocked out
by a blow that seemed rather light
He went out, however, and failed to
rise in the prescribed time.
Then came Fink and BaueTsocks.
Fink seemed to be the favorite, and
at first he looked as though he was
likely to be outed at any moment. He
fought bravely, however, and got in
some good punches, but he missed
many opportunities. He is only a
single-handed fifihter, and his ex-
perience has not been great, but he
is game, and later on he should be
able to give some good accounts of
himself. Bauersocks with a thin
smile on his face would go at it, es-
becially at the first. In the first two
rounds, Fink too livened up and
landed a lot of blows, but he made
the mistake of not following up. The
fight was going Fink's way, however,
and he soon had Bauersocks groggy,
and one singing blow almost knocked
him over. Fink seemed to have no
trouble in drawing beyond the danger
zone OF Bauersocks' wild swings, and
shortly afterwards Fink landed an
other beauty that almost carried
Bauersocks off his feet. Breathing
heavily Bauersocks tried vainly to
smile, and the bell saved him. The
fourth round at first was a bit slow.
Both men clawed the air but failet
to do any damage, and the crowd
advised them to mix it. Fink got

Rauersocks seemed to lose his nerve,
and he was on the run. He made
few wild rushes, which Fink easily
avoided. Fink then took charge, and
he was fighting much better than
ever He looked a winner all over,
and ne put three hits over that Bauer
sosks stopped with his head. Bauer
socks simply covered up to avoid
punishment, but he left himself open
for a body blow that would have been
a sleeping draught, which Fink did
not deliver. Beaursocks made no at
tempt to fight back. The fifth
round is soon written. Fink
opened up, and did not seem
to be the least tired, and got
in some excellent punches. Bauer
socks certainly fought little better,
but his smile had worn off, and he
appeared to be beaten. A dull period
ensued, and Bauersocks again began
to fight and the round finished evenly
for both men. The sixth round did
not last long. Both men began to
fight, but the end was in sight. Fink
handed out one to the point of the
jaw, and shortly afterwards he got
in a body blow. Bauersocks dropped
in his tracks, and he was counted
