cred fv on Beecher sQuawked vigor-
ousty the ringside.

hout wet on and wound up with mora
sneed han he showed in the first
round. He is essentially a long-dis-
lance Ehter but lacks the kick OF
Beechel has a most durable jaw.
JohnPatrick kilbane, who sat at the
Y;ncsid, through it all. went home and
had a pod nights rest after it. The
head tat wear. the feathe rweight
