was no room for a difference OF opinion

ten rounds the tow-haired descendant OF
the fighting Norsemeu ripped and tore
his way to a clean-cut victory over the
Chicago boy, beating MIN at every stage

To the surprise OF many, Williams
seemed to grow more formidable as the
hattie wore along. while the champion
showed the effects Of the furious pace.

whaebone, for he accomplished what few
other boys have ever done-he outroushed

In the sixth round he made Coulon miss
and whipped over a left to the chin that
made the champion settle, back on his
heels and reel pace, but Johnny was cool
under fire, and kept out of danger until
the bell rang.
Williams ripped and tore away at the
body, and when Coulon left the ring many
red spots about his solar plexus bore silent
testimony to the force Of the Southerner
punch.
Coulon was as cool as a cucmber when
the bell rang. while Williams was just
