s'Be careful" the manager warned as the. gong for the first round sound ed and Pat stood up. He's liable to come at you like man eater.''
 And like a man eater Kelly did come at him, rushing across the ring in wild fury Pat, who in his easy way had advanced only a couple of paces, gaug- ed the others momentum, sfdestepped and brought his stiff arched right across to the jaw.
 Then he stood and looked on with a great curiosity.
 The fight was over.
 Kelly had fallen like a stricken bull lock to the floor. and there he lay with out nov ement while the referee, bend ing over him, shouted the ten seconds in his unheeding ear.
 When KelIy's seconds came to lift him Pat was before them. Gathering the huge, inert bulk of the man in his arms, he carried him to his corner and deposited him on the stool and in the arms of his seconds.
 Half a minute later KeIIy's head lift ed and his eyes wavered open. He looked about him stupidly and then to one of his seconds.
 ssWhat happened?'' ?'' he querded hoarse- ly. Did t6e roof fall on me3"
 As result of his fight with Kelly, though the general opinion was that he had won by a duke, Pat was match ed with Rufe Mason. This took place three weeks later, and the Sierra club audience at Dreamland rink failed to see what happened. f4szsgs
 Rufe Mason was a heavyw eight, not ed locally for his c1everness. When the gong for the first round sounded both men met in the center of the ring Neither rushed. NoE did they strike a blow.
 They felt around each other, their arms bent, their gloves so close te- gether that they almost touehed. This lasted for perhaps five seconds.
 Then it happened, and so quickly that not one in a hundred of the au- dience saw Rufe Mason made feint with his right It was obviously not 8 real feint, but feeler, mere tenta- tive Threatening of a possible blow
 Itswas at this instant that Pat 1oosed his. punch. So close together were they that the distance the blow travel ed was scant eight inchs. It was d short arm left jolt, and it was ac complished by a twist of the left fore arm and a thrust of the shoulder. * It landed flush on the point of the chin, and the astounded audience saw as his body sank to the floor. But tnk referee had seen, and he promptly proceeded to count him out.
 Again Pat carried his opponent te his corner, and it was ten minutes be

What hapPened7" 2" he queried hoarseiy- fore Rufe Mason, supported by his seconds, with sagging knees and roll fngs g1assy eyes, was able to move down the aisle through the stupefied and increduIous audience on the way to his dressing room.
 .eNo wonder. he told a reporter, tsthat Rough House Kelly thought the roof hit him.
 After Chub Collins had been put. out in the twelfth second of the first round of fifteen round contest Stubener felt compelled to speak to Pat
 tsDo you know what they're calling you now ?" he asked.
 Pat shook his head.
 "One Punch Glendon.''
 Pat smiled politely. He was little Interested in what he was called He had certain work cut out which he must do ere he could win back to his mountains. and he was ph1egmat tiealIy doing it, that was all.
 tsIt won't do,'' his manager contin- ued, with an sominous shake of the head. ssYou can't go on putting your men out so quickly. You must give them more time.''
 ..Pm here to fight, ain't I?'' Pat de manded in surprise.
 Again stubener shook his head.
 It's this way, Pat. You've got to be big and generous in the fighting game. Don't get all the other fighters sore And it's not fair to the audi ence- They want run for their money.
 Besides, no one will fight you. They'll all be scared out. :. And you can't draw crowds with ten second fights. I leave it to you. Would you pay $1 or $5 to see ten second fight P
 Pat was convinced, and he promised to give future audiences the requisite run for their money, though he stated that, personally, he preferred going fishing to witnessing a hundred rounds of fighting.

AT had got practically nowhere

 laughed when his name was
 mentioned. It called to mind funny fights and Rough House Kelly's remark aboutet the roof.
 Nobody knew how Pat could fight They had never seen him. Where was his wind, his stamina, his ability to mix it with rough customers through long gruelIfg contests?
 He had demonstrated nothing but the possession of a lucky punch and a de pressing proc1fyity for dukes.
 So it was that his fourth match was arranged with Pete Sosso, a Portu-
