His trip here is a combination of
business and wrestling. He is en-

He wants to study the modes Of i'm

the largest exporter and importer in
India. During his stay here Gobar is
living in seclusion at one of our most
select hotels. His meals are cooked

mainly almond nuts, of which he eats

That OGatty-Moore fight was one
of the weirdest bouts held in this city
under the Walker law. O'Gatty is a
young Italian who has an immense
following of his countrymen in this
city. Roy Moore is promising little
fighter who has made his reputation
on the basis of body punching. The
fight didn't attract a lot of attention
most of the newspapers sent young
sporting reporters to cover it. but
there were two well known newspa-
per critics present. Before the fight
the referee is alleged to have spoken
to Moore. warning him to be careful
about hitting below the belt. Moore,
who is the fairest little fellow in the
world, looked at the referee in sur
prise.
O'Gatty Stimulates Pain.
In the first round of the fight that
followed OGatty was knocked down
with a left-hand blow on the stomach.
He lay writhing upon the floor giving
every indication of man hit below
the belt. But, seeing that the referee
was counting over him. O'Gatty

and the bout awarded to O'Gatty. who
walked to his corner. it is stated, ap-
parentiy in good condition. Here, it
is alleged, his manager told him to
act like a man who had been struck
low, which O'Gatty did. Later when
one of the boxing commissioners
there were two. as it happened. at the
fight-visited O'Gatty's dressing room
he threw another fit. The whole at
fair. not forgetting the riotous and
menacing behavior of O'Gatty's fol-
1owing--who were said to have bet
heavily-has been regarded as dis
creditable.
The next championship bout will
involve Jack Britton, the welter-
weight champion, and Ted (Kid)
