is reprehensible business and this

Bud German. among others. He
was almost equally guilty with
Person but there must be q law
against doing it In broken Eng.
iish nys aornafhiug
Offhand, would say that Jimmy
De Forest must impress his man
with the fact that 1t is against the
intercollegiate rules to tackle be
low the knees. He has taught him
everything else, except the matter
OF an adequate left hook.
De Forest almost kidded Firpo
into the title but, in few short
months, he has brought Person
further along than the man with
the bearded chest ever was or
win be. "
The Swede looked the part and
10 mistake. He head-slapped Cor.
mans opening barrage of lefts and
then rocked Bud with three rights
shot straight from the shoulder.
This, apparently. is Persons best
punch, although his right to the
heart. in close, was a fearsonle
thing to hear and look upon. He
almost ruined German with this
attack in the second round, Bud
scoring only with left hook to
the jaw.
The third round was much like
the second, except that Person
was warned about low punching.
The same warning also had been
issued in the opening round.
German came out for the fourth
with the idea Of carrying the fight
to Person but the Swede again
crossed two rights to the jaw and
Bud thought better Of it. Person,
meantime. had been boxing cleverIy.
He picked off plenty OF Germans
left leads and slipped q lot more
with his head. He was very cool
and won every round but the fifth.
That one was hardly under way
long enough for him to win it,
long enough for him to lose
it--and the fight as well.
The customers disagreed violently,
but to no purpose. A customer,
you see. has no rights except at the
box office. With rare presence Of
mind they give him the right of
way there.
