at the Pioneer Sporting Club this al

beating instead. He stuck to his guns
manfully, and the wonder of il was
that he was still on his feet at the end
OF the ten rounds. Williams hit him
so often that 1t brought cries of stop

third round. Every minute the spec

so bad had Daily fought back. In the
whole ten rounds he didn't lash out
with more than half dozen punches.
He took a thousa>>l iolts to the jaw.
DAILY made a miserable attempt at
fighting. All he seemed anxious to DO
was to go the limit, and he did-at
taking punishment. Days courage
made plain the fact that Kid Williams
cannot hit. Only once did it look like
DAILY was going down. That was in
the fifth. Williams caught him wild
swing and Daily went clear across the

arms Had it not been for this DAILY
