1t was real scrap from the first dingle
Of the bell until the final echo of the
jangle had died away. After three
rounds of the prettiest mixing seen in
a Seattle ring for many moons, the

between the boys. The disagreement
resulted in q fourth round. At the end
OF this gession the judges again failed
in a decision. "Biddy" Bishop, well
known for his ability as referee tnen
baked and refused to declare for one
or the other of the boys. 1t was final

retaining his title. He fought Bill

to extend himself.
