demonstration of gameness. Lynch
battered him helpless and groggy
with short punches to the jaw and
Moore, sitting in a neutral corner
took the count of nine before stag

drove him into the ropes and
knocked him down second time
in the same corner. Moore again
waited for the count of nine be-

had piled UP enough points in the
second, fifth and sixth rounds to
give him a slight lead. despite the
fact that he was knocked to his
knees in the third. Lynch shot
over short right hand punch in
this round that did not travel
more than a foot. Moore's legs
shot out from under him as if
he had touched an electric wire.
He did not take count, jumping
TO his feet instantly. and resumed
his task of throwing punches at
the champion.
Initiates Moore's Style.
Moore's peculiar freakish style :,
of boxing, jumping in and out and
hitting from any angle, seemed to |
bother Lynch in the first six rounds !
and then Lynch decided to do some |;
jumping himself. He started in to
initiate Moore's style and finally /
whipped over a savage short right |
that shook the challenger to his /
heels. Moore backed into the |
ropes and Lynch piled in after him.

amined by DR.. C. w. X. Briggs. of
Chicago, who discovered that the
challenger suffered broken rib IN
the left side in the region of the

hand punch In the seventh round.

even round. Moore's seconds work
ed frantically over the challenger
and got him into fairly good shape

back strong in the tenth and had
Lynch backing away.
