tried hard but his efforts were both un-
availing and pitlful- Williams required less
than three rounds 10 wrest the titular lau-
hels from the champions brow and transfer

long time they rightly belonged.

furious. even faster than was expected even
by Williams partisans. but it hardly can be
termed sudden demise Of the champion.
