Solomon show ed a great ability to get into clinch- es and he held on so tightly wheE he did got into them that the ref 1 cree was forced to pull him off of Delaney.
 The Bridgeport battler. more like a cat than like q human being, sidled around time after time and before anyone could catch the blow, his left would thud on Solomon body. Ja ok tried hard for a. knockout but, despite the fact that Solom on caught every punch thrown at him. Delaney was unable to put his fam ous right on the right spot and Sol omon remained the 12 rounds, en d. ling up a bruised and bleeding gla d. iator.
