KAY ALWAYS
GAME BOXER.
The bout wss staged in the Sydney
stadium and many of Kay's friends
turned out to encourage his efforts
against the Yankee. He weighed slightly
less than Virgins, but he always had
been known as game boxer and he
did not appear to figure that Virgins
weight would be too much But right
at the start Of the bout Virgins made
himself quite ut home to Kay's unorthu,
dox methods by frequently reversing his
position and fighting with his right arm
