kilbane helping him to his feet when
ii was apparent the blow was not a
very severe one and shortly after
wards missed a hard swing. O'Keefe
did not relish what was coming his
way and covered up in scared fashion
and also held hard In clinches. An
overhead blow ofKilbane missed Had
it landed it might have spelt harm.
Okeefe became more confident then
and worked with his left jab with
good success.
There was more fiddling in the sixth
and then O'Keefe fell for a ruse to
do some mixing and the beating he re-
ceived was a caution to future efforts
in this line, as Kilbane roughed it
with him in great style and landed
almost at will and with good power
behind each blow. He fairly showered
rights and lefts on the Philadelphian
and drove him around the ring. It
was in this round hat Kilbane
showed some of his calibre.
Series of Kilbane Uppercats.
A series of uppercuts were UNI

fell back on his dependable left jab,

showing, and went after him with a
vengeance. They were still battling
while the bell was ringing, and Kill
bane good naturally tapped O'Keefe
on the head to get away. He showed
the same good feeling in other rounds
when they were working overtime.
The work of O'Keefe in the ninth
was classy, and he Travelled after Kill
ban without a show of fear. Kilbane
devoted his attack to the stomach and
landed often, but found O'Keefe a
willing customer. The champion used
a left hook and O,Keefe went back
for him with his left. The Philadel-
phia boy has knocked many out, still
his heavy punching did not seem to
have the effect he desired on Kilbane.
Jumping from his seat, the cham
pion showed fine form in the last
round and gave no rest to O'Keefe in
his efforts to land, forcing the Quaker
town boy around the ring and soon
the latter was holding hard in
clinches. while Kilbane fought and
twisted 10 get away Then towards
the close O'Keefe started to mix and

boys. They were well applauded when
the bell stopped them.
Goodman X ohler Bout Good.
Jack Goodman, of the westside, and
Paul Kohler, of Cleveland. making his
first appearance in the East, furnished
a bout which had the spectators
happy. The Cleveland boy by clean
punching had something of a lead
for a time, but Goodman, smarting
under the apparent lacing, came back
with a vengeance and topped off his
exhibition with punches and earned
himself a draw.
Willie Beecher and Tommy Garry
whaled each other in great style in
their bout. Garry did not seem to be
in the condition hoped for, and when
Beecher. in his rugged style, had him
in distress from stomach pounding,
Garry would come back with vicious
swings. There wasn't q l~istless mo-
ment throughout the five rounds they
mixed it. a halt being called by the
referee in this session when 1t was
quite evident 1t was gameness alone
that vas standing by Garry.
