came back well toward the end, fore
ing his opponent partially through the
ropes, but it was de Mello's round.
The sixth also was for the Pdrtu-
guese. He landed straights to the face
and punished Gilmore Is kidneys some
more. In the seventh de Mello landed
still more frequently, although he seem
ed to do less damage, The eighth was
slow, but a shade for de Mello, who
landed two or three clean hooks to the
face and a well directed uppercut.
In the ninth de Mello landed on Gill
more 8 left eye, but just missed closing
il. Gilmore came back in the tenth
with left iab that left the Portuguese
only his right lamp for use during the
remainder of the bout. The tenth
opened better for Gilmore. He landed
series of short left jabs to the face
which were noticeably effective. These
tactics were repeated in the eleventh,
which was Gilmore's all the way. A
icious nppercut landed, followed by
staggering left and right to the face.
De Mello finished in bad shape, but took
his punishment heroically.
Gilmore Grows Confident.
From this point on Gilmore felt sure
of his man. He rushed the Portuguese
around the ring, landing frequently,
and apparently waiting for an oppor
tunity to finish his job with a sleep
punch. But this chance never came, or
| If it did, Gilmore was unable to put
, steam enough behind anything to do the
work. In the eleventh he had de Mello
/ in his corner repeatedly where knock
nut seemed imminent. But de Mello
took the punishment and came back
comparatively strong for the final
| round, in which he let loose his remain
| ing steam and stopped what Gilmore
had counted upon as finishing touches.
Gilmore's display of temper came
near starting something. The ring was
filled in twinkling with ringside folk,
husky and otherwise, who promised to
make short shrift of the Coast scrapper
Half dozen of the city's finest, y
however, poured oil over the occasion
and Gilmore was hustled to his dressing
room. Not without prolonged hooting
and bowling from the auditorium an6
galleries, however, and much expect
ancy of a general row that did mo-
materialize. The Portuguese con
tingent added flame to the excitement
by waving big Portuguese republican
flag over the tumult.
