and his club like blows, and even
tually ihroush scores of body pun
ches taking the steam out of his
man, rendering hiin helpless so
far an attack was concerned.
Yes. Wills was ttie clever mata
dor but lie fought the bull, so to
speuk. with a blunted sword. <N >
thrust was a deadly thrust ant!
I lie fight ended with Wills th?i
winner by eight miles on points
If ov?-r he was to lay Flrpo supln

It was not a good fight. It

the customers turned out in

they had gone many rounds
