Valley Athletic club last night
Jimmy is manager for Georgia
Goodrich the crack San Digo south
paw, who had just taken splendid
lacing from Patrick Aloysius Ne
Nulty, late of the U. S. S. Wyoming
and a dispenser of punches that
spell disaster for any man near his
weight.
Patrick Aloysius got the high sign
from Referee O'Neil, with 40 sec
onds to go in the tenth round, for
Goodrich was helpless and praeti-
cally out on his feet. Blood stream
ed from his nose and mouth and
though he would not quit, it was APP
parent that Goodrich could go no
further.
Aside from Jimmy Burns, it was
gala affair for every other Irish
man and for many who are not
Irish. Patrick Aloysius knew he
had been in Il scrap when it was
over. He had nasty cut under his
left eye, placed there bv Mr.. Good
rich in the first round, his left eye
was beautifully decorated, and af
ter the fight Pat had to shake hands
with the, left, for the right one had
to be bandaged.
All through the 10 rounds it was
anybody:,s fight, with the average
person. willing to place his money
ON Goodrich. Although Pat was
supposed to weigh three pounds
mere than Goodrich, tbe,latter look

punch. j. II was plain that this south
paw bIisjusEs puzzled Pat and he
took his own sweet time to solve it.

Goodrich worked away on Pat s
solar plcxns. throughout the fight,
varying the attack with uishes
when he would swing rapid rights
and lefts to Pat Is head. The latter
would take them until he decided
he had enough, then he would back
away, shift, shoot, and rock Good
rich on his heels. The tide turned
about the seventh round. From

round and Goodrich was in distress
whom the bell rang. He came back
strong in the eighth and did
little better than hold his own with
the Irishman. In the ninth both
boys seemed wary of each other
and apparently saved themselves for
the coming tenth, indications being
that il would be "A bearcat.

he had his man gong, shot rights
and lefts which rocked Goodrich.
He tried to evade McNulty, but the

precision. The end came in ncus
tral corner. Goodrich covered up
as he had done on several previous
