the offensive, but he lacked the vim
and the dash of the earlier rounds.
Mccoy, on the defensive, danced
around the sides of the ring as the
sailor came IN at him. They clinched
several times, and the crowd, hguTiRg
that several rounds of desultory fight
ing were ahead Of them. slipped back
into its seat and prepared TO take
things easy. And then, of sudden
things began to happen and one sem
sation followed another.
Mccoy, coming out OF a clinch.
landed two light lefts on Sharkey's
ter him. AS Mccoy continued to
elude him the sailors face took
on a look of intense disgust. He
wanted to stand toe-to-toe and slug
it---but not Mccoy. The Kid grace
fully backed toward hts own corner
and as Sharkey came at him was In
the act of side-stepping out OF dam
ger, when Sharkey, with quick. un-
expected rush, shot short left nook
clearly to the point of McCoy's jaw
Mccoy was against the ropes at the
time, but as the blow landed he slid
down to the floor and fell with thud.
Mccoy was not out completely. but
the blow SO dazed him that he was
unable to move. His eyes winked
conyulsively and his Jaw seemed tenn
porariIy paraiyzed. His body quivered
and he turned half way around. his
head resting on the lower ropes OF
the ring, his eyes looking out help
lessiy into the sea of faces.
The house was in an uproar. Nat
urally, as soon as Mccoy went down,
Referee Hurst leaned over him and
began his count. In the frenzy of
40 e{f ay ant <aIInyunS
heard Hurst tolling~ of the seconds.
About one second after the referee
had chanted the fatal ten Mccoy
staggered to his feet and made move
toward Sharkey. All this time the
sailor had stood back waiting for Nc
Coy to arise. He hadn't heard Hurst
complete the count--nor had anyone
else--and didn't know that Mccoy
was out officially. So when he saw
Mccoy tottering toward him he
rushed forward like a mailman and
then set himself and let loose a fear
full right that landed under McCoy's
ear.
For the second time Mccoy went
down--and that time he stayed until
all doubt as 10 whether or not he was
out had been banishd. But Hurst
didn't count over Mccoy the second
time. All he did was TO push Sharkey
into his corner and motion to Nc
Coy's seconds TO give him assistance.
The crowd for a few minutes couldn't
understand why Hurst wasn't count
ing and the uproar continued without
abatement.
Finally Hurst was able to still the
tumult sufficiently TO explain 10 the
crowd that he had counted out Nc
Coy the first time he hit The mat.
Then Bedlam reiEned again, some
kissing. the majority cheering And
SO II continued until long after the
lighters had left the ring and the po-
lice moved to dispense the immense
crowd.

II is not necessary to shampoo your

use OF really good shampoo. The
easiest TO use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to

the natural beauty of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little expense,
hy dissolving a teaspoonful OF Can
throx. which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup of hot water,
This makes a full cup OF shampoo

the top of the head. This. when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand OF hair, chemically dissolves
all impurities. II is very soothing
and cooling in it's action, az well as
beneficial to both scalp and hair.
