D OUGISH RICHARD delayed
IN his customary tactics not E
minute as the bout started, while
Mr.. Strack began the battle with
some intentions of wrestling The
result was fall for Mr.. Raines
with a crotch and slam in ter
minutes.
Shaking the cobwebs from his
head during the rest period, Mr.
Strack revised a behavioristic AK
ION, and as he trotted up the back
stairs of the Armory to resume the
fray he chanted the lines of a
popular bard:
always unto others do
What they'd like to do to you
He answered the bell with both
fists flying and tore into the burly
Texan like the Twentieth Century
through a milk train station. A
leg split almost conquered Mr..
Raines, and Strack clamped on a
mouth split that separated the
Texans bicuspids so far you could
have inserted the lost continent of
Atlantis between them. Finally, in
nineteen minutes he dangled Mr..
Raines' 230 pounds from Mr.. Raines'
own neck thrice with a reverse
deadlock and parked him on the
canvas for the fall.
IN the. third period Mr.. Raines
l. came back strong and, for time
had the better of things. But he
ended sadly. He had Mr.. Strack
apparently out con his feet, the can
vas and the ropes with a series of
flying tackles, when the Boston
whirlwind skipped deity aside to let
Mr.. Raines scamper headlong across
the ring, through the ropes and into
the ringpOst.
The collision relieved Mr.. RaineS
Of most Of his senses and it was a
boys task to fetch him in by the
heels and plop on him for the de-
Gliding tumble.

Kirchmeyer, the rangy lad from
