While the English champion was
a courageous and great fighter, he
was no match for the American. who
had the advantage of height, reach
and weight. The rough English mob
used every foul tactic possible to
disable Heenan, and when they

tor of Bells Life. retired In con.
fusion. The men, however. continued
to battle, but Sayers was so badly
beaten that I'm the forty-second and
last round he refused TO leave his
seat In his corner. Heenan advanced
upon his opponent and struck him.
Then the Englishman's seconds at
tackled the American and he had to
fight them all in a sort of free-for-

Finally Sayers was carried out of
the ring In a most helpless condition,
