Bobby Tow used when he pound

months ago. Tying the beer-bar-

side of or rolling with it when
Tony got a chance to swing it..
Gallagher took o cruel beating
for 10 rounds, however. Twice he
went down before the squat Ital.
ian's crunching blows.
In the ninth he dropped to his
launches when Tony caught him
flush on the chin with a left
uppercut while in a clinch. Again
in the tenth Marty slipped to the
canvas on both knees after the
Jersey dynamiter had clipped him
with several left hooks ending
with a short left jolt to the chin as
Gallagher tried to clinch.
Fer the first 10 rounds Gala.
CHER fought Sparodicaliy, content
ing himself with tying up
Galento's lethal left or rolling
with it or ducking away or be-
meath it. Several times he sank
rights deep to Galento's midsec-
ton, but had to absorb plenty Of
stiff left hooks to the ribs and
stomach in return. Galento, al
ways advancing, looking for a
chance to whip home his famed
left hook for a k. o., never was
able to get it in with all his power
behind it, and the pace began to
tell on him during the eleventh
round.
In the eleventh round, Gala
CHER opened up a bit and nailed
Galento with several rights to
the stomach which Jared him.
Tony kept throwing his left hook,
but he was plainly discouraged,
and Gallagher se14sed 1t. In the
fateful twelfth, Gallagher came
out confidently and pecked at
Galento's face with several stiff
lefts. splitting Tony's eyebrow
wide open, blood pouring down
his face. Gallagher weighed 206,
and Galento. 216.
Jack Dempsey gave the crowd
a great treat when he refereed
two preliminarieS and the semi
final with "big league" expert
ness. Walking rapidly around
the ropes, admonishing the boys
to "break" and clapping his
hands for action. the Manassa
Mauler seldom laid his hands on
the fighters to part them and
gave the huge attendance a full
view Of the scraps at all times.
Bob Wilson, Florida's blond tor
nado, also tasted sweet revenge
for an earlier defeat when Referee
Jack Dempsey awarded him a
technical k. o. over Roy Manley,
Arkansas welterweight in the
eighth round of one Of the gorieSt
bouts ever staged.
Bleed PrOfusely
Both boys began to bleed early
and bled profuSely throughout the
fast and bitter fight. It took Will
son two rounds to solve Manley's
speedy, unorthodox style, and it
wasn't until the sixth round that
he had slowed him down suffi.
clently to reach him with any fre.
quency with that deadly swing.

Bob cut Manley'S left eye in the
third and when Roy returned the
compliment in the fourth, Bob
split Manley'S other eye, and both
were drenched with each others
blood through the remainder of
the fight. Wilson smashed Man
ley'S nose early in the eighth
round. and added scalp cut right
over the forehead, and Dempsey
stopped the spectacle as Manley
weaved dazedly in midring, his
face red mask Of blood.
