tired and his face was bruised when
the final round ended.

gressiveness caused the Hudson county

blows.

punches. Kurtz vas %applauded when

best blow. He used this considerably,
and nearly every time 1t worked eff
fectively.

third round by planting a neat left to
h Iron Mans jaw. Thu latter,
however. stood the punishment. and,
though Kurtz wal leading throughout
the majority of the round, Seiger was
not In bad condition at the bell.

artist eFain showed superiority. He
paid little attention to the Hobokenite's
body. but with lefts and rights deliy-
cred from manv angles, he continually
rocked Sieger's head.
