Doe declared he regretted he was not present at the 27-round cellar battle on the East Side that was staged by Jim Bones and Young Fox one afternoon last week.
 That put me in m3nd of two battles totalling S3 rounds one bout that went 52 rounds and was stopped with honors even and the other one in which I was kayoed in the 31st round-with Johnny Ball of Wilmington, back in '93. We fought those two battles with two- skin gloves in i'm promptu rings, in Boley's Woods, a short distance out of Ba1tim ore. As the first fight was draw we didn't get a cent, the receipts ebing pooled with the money taken in at the second battle, and then we. divided about $4o0.
