That boy Melichar from Cedar
Rapids gave Tommy McCue a worse
beating than many realized, winning
every round except the fifth, when
McCue cut and almost closed his
right eye and then hooked him all
over the ring. Melichar displayed
rare recuperative powers in the
sixth. and. with his four-round
lead, only . knockout could have
robbed him Of victory.
McCue's style and method of at
tack and defense did not make him
very popular with the crowd. He
stalled too long on the defense and
showed q tendency to hit low. Had
he known more about following up
his opportunities, Melichar could
have put the Joliet boy away in the
fourth round. He staggered McCue
hve times. only to step back and
give him time to get his bearings.
The Mowdy-Kelly battle topped
the card for slugging. These boys,
who never fail to please. dispensed
thrill after thrill. Mowdy carried
the first, fourth and sixth; Kelly
earned the second. while the third
and fifth were even.
