tie for Kelley, who finished the fracas
in the middle of the second round by
a clean Knockout. Brady proved no
match for Kelley. The local man
showed all his old time clever foot
work and his sledge-hammer rights
had Brady's goat from the opening OF
the first round. Both fighters were
cautious in the first half of
the first mill, but after a de-
lay caused by Brady's gloves becom-
ing unlaced, they both tore in appar-
emily to see what the other had to
offer. The round was Kelley's.
The local man started the second
round with an apparent determinat-
ion to finish things up in jig time.
Brady took two vicious wallops and a
third sent him to the ropes a little
groggy. Coming out of the ropes,
Brady's attempt to cover for clinch
and rest, was met with a right-up-
per cut to the point of the chin that
almost put his lights out. After re-
ceiving that punch the North Dakota

the results of great deal of training
and will give good account of them
selves in future battles. Gillar

The second preliminary proved 9
fast go between two local boys in the
80 pound class, Bill Gillian and Rec
