But in the mean time Yoakam,
Il tough as q pine knot, was taking all
that was handed TO him and watching
his opportunity 10 get IN and do some
real hghting az close quarters--and 40

by Newman, Coming out Of a clinch
In the eighth the Denver boys lett

nose bleeding. His antagonist had al
last reached the weak spots-the
spots that had been made weak IN the
last gruelling fight that they had.
From that time on the fight WAS all
one way. Newman fought gamely,
bat Il was not use. His strength was
there. bur his judgment and accuracy

about the ring with swings which. n
they had landed, would have put an
end 70 the story but his knotty OPP
poncnt either ducked them Or rushed
into a clinch IN which still further
damage Was inflicted on the badly
abused face Of the Denver man.

whatever Of winning.
The X. %, punch. however, abided

left arm Of Yoakum. All he could d.
} was 20 pound and pummel his helpless
adversary, mussing him up a littl'
more each time without being able {,
administer the narcotic. He landed
y his blows a. VIII, but they had not th'
q steam behind them to do the wOfi
y that was needed.
