to Cy Smith in their ten-round
battle before the Empire A. c. in Man
haitian last night. 1t was a wonderful
fight, in which both men fought every
second they were in the ring, and 1t
was marvellous how both men stood
the grueling pace.
Hurley had the better of the first,
third, fourth, seventh, ninth and tenth
rounds. Smith had a slight lead in
the fifth and sixth, and the second
and eighth rounds were even. Hur-
ley had Smith beaten from every stand
point. He did most of the leading, and
when Smith tried to mix he did not
break ground for a single instant, but
stood right up and beat his man at
his own game. On the other hand
Smith had to cover up to AVOID pun-
ishment when Hurley unoorked one
of his famous whirlwind broadsides.
At the inhghting Hurley outclassed
his rival, and he outboxed the Hobo
kenite. Smith tired in vain to get
over a knockout with that right upper
cut. but Hurley c~leverly avoided 1t,
and at times made Smiths efforts to
land 1t look foolish. Smith tried for
the stomach, too, but id little dam
