Walker showed all other contenders for

Emanuel Makes Mistake.
Emanuel made the mistake of think
ing the fury of Walkers rushes and
sledge- hammer fists had lost their
potency in the fifth round. The young
lawyer scrapper took matters into his
own hands and began to do some fight

Walkers scheme of battle. Armand
reached Mickie's Jaw with several right
handlers It was just what Mickey
needed to stimulate him into another
burst of two-fsted battling.
Coming out for the seventh round
Emanuel continued his forcing tactics
AT this time it seemed as If Walker was
on his way to defeat. But Mickey is
not called a bulldog on account Of his
resemblance to that Square-jawed, fe-
rocious-iooking canine. Relentless dog
gedness and tenacious fighting against
odds fully describe Walkers actions In
the ring.

TO avoid being knocked out. But
Mickey shook off the desperate Emanuel
and a rigtt-hander TO the jaw propped
him up for a vicious left hook-anc
Emanuel's plans for title proved to be
nothing more than dream.
