spinned his opponent around with his
right arm and caught him behind the

had landed.

When the two heavyweights entered
the ring at 1920 o'clock each was

examined each others hands. Daily
lowered two inches above Morris. The
latter, however. was apparently much
the heaviest.
When the gong had sounded the two
giants met in the center of the ring.
They both boxed cautiously, evidently
feeling each other out. They clinched
and exchanged light taps to the body
and face. Kisses came from several
sections of the house and II was ap-
parent that the crowd wanted more
action. 1t was then that Morris sent
Daily to the mat. II was all done so
