OF unusually tame. Saylor with
wild swings was a person to size
before taking many chances. Mandot-
one knockout had given Saylor rea
son for being cautious.
In the third and fourth rounds Say
Tor began execution and by pulling
Mandot into awkward positions was
able to work havoc with his long
swings and uppercuts. He held the
advantage until the seventh round
when Mandot got under way. The
baker boy was inside the many swings
and leads for his face were often
barred by clever use of the forearm.
With the men in the middle of the
ring in the ninth Saylor let loose a
wide right swing and caught Mandot
on the cheek bone. 1t moved him
back a pace, lifting both feet OFF the
floor Saylor was unable to follow up
the advantage, for Joe quickly went
into close quarters and the bell soon
rang.
In the tenth Saylor again had a
good lead, but the final two chapters
went to the southerner. The divided
opinion of the spectators made it APP
pear that a draw would have hurt
