RENAULT FALLS OUT
OF RING AT RINK S. G.
Miske's Blow Was Not Hard,
but the Canadian Had
Sufficient.
ny CHARLES #. MATHIsoN.

There will always be much doubt In
the minds of the 5000 persons in the
Rink Sporting Club last night as to what
impelIed Jack Renault, heavyweight
champion OF Canada, to tumble out Of
the ring in the thirteenth round OF his
bout with Billy Miske of st. Paul. An
air of mystery surrounded the evident
disinclination of Renault to climb back
into the ring, with the result that he
was counted out by the referee.
1t is admitted that RenauIt was COM
fortabIy located on the broad shelf Of
the press row, and completely out of
reach of the fists of Mske.
AS to Renault's departure from the
ring 1t is certain he was not knocked
out, for the blow that Miske aimed at
his opponent vas too light. The infer
ence Is strong that Renault decided he
had been punched sufficiently for ono
evening, and that he would postpone
additional punishment till some time
later In the season. Miskc had knocked
out three of Renaults teeth in the tenth
round and had maltreated him in other
respects. ttss
The Canadian had been staggering
about the ring in the eleventh and
twelfth rounds. but Miske did not seem
to have power enough in his blows to
stop Renault The latter seems to have
reached the conclusion that IL Miske
could not stop him with blows flush on
the jaw he might as we'll end his
troubles by falling out of the ring.
One sided Contest.
The fight was one-sided from the
start, Miske outooxing and outpunching
the Canadian. But MislSe never was a

his opponents he cannot and their misery
with sleep producer. Miskc did not
add to his fame. and as for Renault 1t
was generally admitted that as a cham
pion he is an excellent sparring partner.

and landing heavy rights and lefts to
face and body. Renault was taken by
surprise by MislSc's sustained attack.
Renault was the receiver again In
tho second round. and used his feet to
keep out OF range. Miske pounded tho
Canadian hard, and had him in trouble
at the bell.
Miskc punched Renault groggy in
tho fourth round, but failed to bring
MN down.
Renault took his customary beating
in the ffth. but by clinching managed
to keep on his feet.
Rcnau1t Shaky.
Rcnault was shalxy on his feet in the
sixth and did little but hug in the
seventh. eighth and ninth. Miske
knocked out n few OF Renaults front
teeth in the tenth, but the Canadian
remained on his feet
Renault staggered all about the ring
in the eleventh under Miskes blows
The st. Paul man did not seem to have
the force in his punches to drop his
weakened opponent.
After one minute and twenty seconds
OF the thirteenth round Renault tum-
bled out of the ring and the crowd left
without applauding the gladiators.

the fact that Gray won the bout with
plenty to spare. the verdict surprised
most of the onlookers.
