I lightweight champion Of the border.
put up the classiest bout Of the ev-
ening in four rounds Of never-ceasins
milling that abounded in swift leads,
! clever blocking, ducking and side
stepping. The foOtwork Of Orrison
was clever in the extreme although
the lack Of rosin caused both boxers
10 slip frequently and robbed their
exhibition Of some speed Orrison,
who is Gundy's teacher-and highly
successful one from the clever work
shown by Nick last night-Went
through about all the tricks of the
ring with his student and several
times introduced strangers 10 Gundy.
Once coming off the ropes like a
catapauIt shot OrrisOn went some
seven or eight feet across the ring
with such speed that Gundy could not
avoid a wallop. The two did not spare
each other, both getting blood and
absorbing some hot kicks. In a mat
I ter OF defence OrrisOn proved ex-
ceedingly clever while Nick's steam
enabled him TO wage equal conflict
This bout alone was well worth the
price Of admission.
Good Draw

four round draw. Null was the ag-
gressor, RubinO using a good left and
saving himself by clever fo0twork

his best in close quarters while Ru-
bino excelled at long range work
