4 Favorite Helpless
It was almost unbelievable to Gee
Tiplitz. a 3.to-1 favorite, in n help
less condition in his corner with pos
sibility of not being able to leave his
chair for the second round. Had the
contest ended in such manner it would
Lave been up to Critic to decide whether
Tiplltz was a loser on Knockout or
winner on technicality because lie had
been hit after the bell sounded.
The second and most Of the third
round still found Tipltz In woozy
condition. Luck of ring gencralship
and hitting distance robbed Barrett Of
q knockout in both Of these sessions.
Following instructions to hold his he'd
down and get to close quarters as much
as possible Tiplitz succeeded in keeping
his chin out Of range of Barrett's
mighty wallops.

scattered senses and appeared lot re-

down in his corner, but regalnSd his
feet without count. This was an even
round.
Barrett Over. ANXIOUS
Barrett, anxious to score with
final punch in tho fifth and sixth
rounds. rclinquished some of his ad-
vantage. Instead of slusging in these
two sessions, Tiplitz used straight left
punches and made Barrett miss lot
from the distance, while at close quar-
.ers body punches by Tiplltz made the
Red head hold several times. These
were the only rounds won by Joe.
Tiplitz again was dropped IN the
seventh as the result Of roundhouse
right hand wallop on the back Of his
neck. Joe went down on all -fours. He
jumped to his feet in jify, however.

his vicious onslaught. However. the

several clinches.
The eighth round was another big

met him with straight lefts. This
time it was Bobby who started out
TO DO the boxing instead Of punching
several times. and once Joe ran into !
