enthusiasm throughout the bout and

night Brady had Parker bewildered for
the majority of the session. Parker
weighed in twenty pounds heavier
than Brady but this fact caused the
Chica-o boxer no trouble, except that
he was unable to land a blow that
would make his opponent take the
count.
Each man was knocked to the mat
once but seemed to feel no III effects
from his contact with said portion of
the building.
The first round was practically

be feeling out his opponent. Brady
rushed the lighting and landed several
body jabs.
In the second Parker had the advan-
tage for some seconds and scored a
few taps. Brady had the advantage
in the clinches and tapped Parker
for a few light ones.

until the gong.
When the gong rang for the fourth
Brady rushed To Parkcr's corner and
sent his man to the ropes where he in
