 the superb gameness and great stamina of Cleary carried him through the other three rounds.
 It was Kilrain's fight all the way but the referee-Billy Edwards-an- nounced a draw, while the crowd talk ing look at the almost unmarked Xiii rain and then at the staggering hulk that was Cleary, hissed, booed and shrieked "robber"
 Police prevented Kilrain from SCOT ing via the knockout route over Jack Burke. "the Irish Lad" They met in five-rounder in Boston on Decem- Der 1, 1884, with all the physical ad- vantages in favor of Kilrain. Jake planned to crush Burke to the mat by the sheer fury of a first-round at tack and practically succeeded. As the opening session ended, Burke was in a pitiable condition It seemed un- likely that he could weather another round of the Kilrain attack. But he wasn't asked to. With the end of the first round. the police jumped into the ring. Their intent was to stop the fight But such a roar of displeasure went up from the assemblage that the police compromised by ruling that the battle could go on but that all rough ness" must be eliminated.
 The rest of the affair was a ping

Imm mediately afterwards Xii rain proposed to Burke that they meet in a finish fight in some other city, flor any side bet you name,' But Burke, realizing that in meeting Xiii rain he was overmatched. refused. Kilrain's activities in 1885 embraced four battles. Three resulted in knock out victories. He put William Sher- riff, ''The Prussian," to sleep in two rounds. Knocked out Jerry Murphy | a giant in the same number of rounds and battered John McGlynn into un- ' consciousness in four-rounder in New Bedford, Mass. His other fight was a four-round draw with George Fryer, an English battler.

Editors Note: This is thu fifth
 of series of articles which Mir
 Corbett is writing concernir the
 pugilistic career of Jake Kilrain,
 one of the greatest heavyw eights

 Jake Kilrain made his debu in pu- gilistic fast company early in 1884, when he clashed with Charlie Mitchell. the great English battler
 Prior to that time Jake had been fighting men who are classed as little more than third-raters But his splen- did showing against them cc'nvince6 the sporting world that the 1country boy was destined for highert things. They gave to Jake his first big chance against the Briton in a four rounder in Boston on March 27, 1884.
 Kilrain attempted his old rushing in and swinging away tactics on Mitchell But he couldn't break down the de- fense of the Englishman. Mitchell proved too clever for Kilrain and in a battle, filled with action froen start to finish, the best Kilrain could get was a draw. But even such verdict
 
 rains showing against the .ientific Mitchell showed that he is coming along with giant strides and in the none too distant future he W Il be a dangerous rival of John L. StIlIivan,' predicted a writer at the tint.
 Kilrain's next battle was =against Cleary in a battle in New ork on June 26, 1SS4-a contest replete with sensational incidents.
 Cleary was one of the most terrific hitters in the business. Neither man was really scientific. Each was of the bruiser type. And when tho crowd gathered for the fistic clash it's sen timent was that the first m4n who gets home a real punch wins"
 Almost before the echo of he cali for time had died away. Kilraifl. leap ing at Cleary, drove a savage right to the stomach. Cleary wabbled, Jake realizing the advantage he had agained followed quickly with a rightrhander to the jaw.

And all my days with %yearning;
When | have learned that all the

And | have lost the way of mirth.
And found the way of weeping
All, then, dear heart, how would you

How could you know my sorrow
If | had never told you of
Your worth ere that tomorrow
So, while we walk together here
With sunshine warm above you,
Oh, listen as sing your praise,
And tell you that love you'll
