This was q one sided affair with the Worcester boy plainly more than a match for Rice Rice assimi- lated many a right and left during the first three minutes and the best he got was series of harmless blows on Gagne's arms as he covered up. The end came quickly in the second round when a right to the jaw sent Rice down in a neutral corner where he remained hanging to the ropes with his eyes closed until the referee counted him out Gagne's perform ance was admired by the fans who gave him a good hand as he left the ring

A straight left found Bardy'sl face with cloeklike regularity. Bardyl couldn't dodge it and received the jabs in the face all through the first three minutes.

 IL was announced from the ring that the next show will take place Thanksgiving night.
