4 LII the town II t~alkIng-and the
~ Brown-Hogsn fight Is tho topic.
4 whewl That was a hghtl
A funny thing Is that n week or so
ago the wise bunch quietly passed
around a tip that Hogan wasn't game.
That. now that the night Is over. looks
like q real Joke.
Danny Morgan called me up on the
phone yesterday. evening. Dan seemed
70 be very hoarse. suspect that ne
had been talking about the fight a lit
tie and the unaccustomed use OF his
vocal cords strained his throat. Here
and there I cuiled out a few things
that Dan said.
Say. can that Hogan nght7 Well.
lot me tell you he hit Brown harder
than any other guy ever hit him In his
life. That punch OF Bert Keyes's was
a love tap beside some that Hogan
landed-take It from me. / thought
sure two or three times he'd knock
X. O.'s head of. For the frst time in
my life / thought Brown was going 10
BE- Knocked out. Now l know nobody
can hurt him.
And say. X. o. hit that guy some
punches In the body hard enough to kill
an elephant They said that guy isn't
game. Well. he's the nrst man ! ever
saw take the hardest punch *. q. could
sling, and not back up. In that ninth
round X. o. hit him on the Jaw as
hard rs he ever hit anybody In his life.
n Hogan didn't move back an inch.
He just leaned In and looked for q
chance to shoot that righ h over agaiI
He'll clean up all the other lightweights
4 a r0unA hara alra Has tho hpqt that
ever came out Of the West.
Yes. Brown will fight him again.
any timo. X. .. has Wolgast first. then
Murphy, and then he may take Hogan
on. This Wolgast light IL a pipe. *. o.
VIII beat him easy this time, The
Dutchman Is getting better every time
he fights. Did you see his right. He
knocked out two OF Hogan's teeth with
q short right hook. and he dropped
him with the right. x. o. has two
good hands now. take 1t from me. He'll
get Wolgast inside or ten rounds. or
I'm a Dutchman."

- tors. Lou manages Leo liouck.
the middleweight. He had a few kind
words TO say for Leo.
II don't deny that Klaus shaded
Houck In six rounds the other night"
said Lou. "He did. ! admit It. But
he can't hurt Houck. and nouck would
put him away In n twenty-round nght
as sure as I'm standing here. I'll make
n side bet OF 1900 that Houck beats
Klaus in = longer fight any time Klaus
wants to mak the match. Houck IL a
world beaten and he'll be champion be-
fore long"

all tho local middlewelghts have slip

each on the same night ! would be
