SPRAYING again. This time he
stayed down for nine count, but
was practically out when he got
up and staggered to the ropes, his
unsteady flight accelerated by
Shades cutting. Then he sank
again, more from weakness than
from any blow. His long legs
failed him, and as he slunped to
the floor the timekeeper began a
third count. Slattery was just
pulling himself off the floor for
another hopeless stand when his
manager, Red Carr, tossed in a
towel.
The surrender was correctly
timed. 1t would have been in
human and bad judgment to. sub

first knockout, to further punish

his lesson. He, perhaps, had come

thought he would make a
purely defensive fight of it for

TO give Slattery some trouble and
avoid knockout himself, but the
general opinion was that he would
not be able to match the brilliant
Slattery in aggressiveness or of
fensive skill.

out for the Californian. At the
commission offices, when the box
