Loughrey on points. and his victory
created a great stir. L Georges was
good enough TO beat such a tough
American as Loughrey, the French
fans argued. he was certainly good
enough to hold the welterWeight

There was now but one more
step to be taken by Georges to
secure hia claims 10 French well

Within the next few weeks Georges
began cashing in on his champion

said that this bout was really IN
