Moore was more scIen fhc than his rival But Matty possessed a wal Top that made Moore forget his c7ever- ness many times and take refuge be- hind his mitts.S
 The early part found Moore dancing around, sticking out his left which se.- dom failed to lind SGing pace on Matty's face. The latter made desperate swings and a few landed; particularly on Moore's right rit s. These wanops burt. Judging from More's expression.
 In the first five rounds Moore had a nice lead, but in the sixth he surprised the crowd by jogging 1t Tn tEEs period he landed not more than three blows. At the same time Baldwin stuck a few stingers to h1oore's map which made the Pal back up and side step as much as possible. In the fol- flowing period Moore pursued the same tactics. Baldwin kept wa loping him and Tn one effort threw Moore again st the ropes. Like a flash Moore re- bounded and caught Baldwin with a corking right, swing right on the chin.
