champions furious attack, he went

glory than in any battle Of his career.
He was beaten. but his menace to the
heavyweight throne was not removed.
From the tap of the first Gong,
these two scowljng giants tore at each
other with attacks of unrestrained saw
agery. Firpo was the first to land as
they came to close quarters, but in a
flash the champion plunged, shot in

that the frenzy might assume the pro

And while the American had fulfill

venturesome predictions of critics by
his short and spectacular triumph, the
challenger received an ovation for the
fight that marked him among the
most courageous battlers who ever
sought the worlds title.
