clever boxer but McGoorty's strength
and cleverness made his showing much
the best. In the very first round Of
the contest it looked as if McGoorty
would be able to land sleep produce
ing punch and he had Kelly in deep
distress. In the second round Kelly
had recovered lot and from that time
on while always loser he managed
to keep away from McGoorty ard pre-
vented him from landing knockout.

one of the best ever seen in kanosha
and q crowd which taxed the capacity
of the big building was on hand for
the main bout.

reference with the go and there were
no ministers at the ringside to aid
the sheriff in maintaining order. There
were no kneckouts and it would have
been a hard matter to have declared
the show a violation of the Wisconsin
law.
