CAUTIONED by his handlers that re

shook his head vehemently and in
sisted upon maintaining the swift
tempo. And he was right.
Bounding from his corner at the
start of the fifth, he used both hands
to fail the man who had challenged
his position as champion. a terrific
right to the chin, sending Dean down
for no count. Once again Sarron let
loose a right, this time to the jaw, and
once again Dean dropped-for count
of nine. A third right, likewise to the
jaw, kept Dean down for the nine
count and when he arose, Imply,
Petey ysocked him again. The counting
of Referee Denny Hughes was a mere
formality as Sarron and the seconds
of both fighters stood by to carry the
helpless Dean to his corner.
Although the Bobby Dechter-T Tommy

his last six rounds, five of which, by

the greens, but putting very well.
And how that man can putt. His
best mark IS 27 puts for 18 holes,
which figures out at an average of
IL to the green, while his worst
putting round was 81. In the 27-putt
round he scored 76 and only hit five

good way to figure out why so many
