zled the fans with his lightning
speed. Clancy made the ringside
fans groan with imaginary pain
every time he socked his powerful
left to the body. His aggressive
ness and speed. although a bit less
than his opponents, enabled Clan
cy to meet Henry on terms that no
one believed other than even.
Henry's footwork was marvellous
but differed greatly from the dane
ing tactics Of many good boxers,
He is more of the Benny Leonard
type of fighter. using his two good
legs to step in and out and to hold
his ground in the mixes. He is al
ways set to deliver a crushing
blow and at the same time step
away from danger. At times he
made punching bag out of Clan
cy's features but took many hard
blows himself.
Despite the fact that both boys
packed surprising power in prac-
tically every punch, they were in
such excellent condition that the
end Of the 10 rounds found neither
much the worse for wear.
Henry Takes Lead.
Henry stepped out with the bell
in the first round and won it by
a good margin. He punched, not

to all portions of the body while
Henry tried vainly to get away
from the position. The round was
Clancy's.
Both boys stood ground In the
