EDDIE COUNTED OUT
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

6I ETS'S 60 now, Oscar; let's get
IL out of here: we've been here three
rounds too long" shouted Frank Bag
Icy to Willie Jackson as the gong
changed for the fourth round of last
nights windup at the Olympia. And
one minute and eight and one fifth sec
onds later Referee Lou Crimson had
dropped his right arm for the tenth toll
over the fallen, writhing form of Eddie
Morgan, game little Britisher, thus
bulging out the already fat knockout
record of William, the Right Hand
Soother of Slumber.
Morgan, pluckier than he had ever
been credited, assimilated a terrific
trouncing for three rounds. The sleep
poultice-four punches in all--consist-
ed of a straight right to the jaw, two
wicked wallops to the body and an up
percut to the chin. Eddie went down
fat on his back, his arms folded over
his head. For the first half of the count
Morgan didn't move a toe, then he be-
gan to roll and wiggle from side to side
as if he were anxious to get up. But
Eddie was out.
II, ". PleaSes All
The knockout punch pleased every

Johnny Kilbane failed two weeks ago
revelled in their satisfaction, while the
Staunchest rooter of Morgan was glad ir
