?	series of body blows. Hammer and longs finished the round Tvith the visitor showing
the strain of the pace.
- ?The third and '-decisive-, stanza was of short duration. Dempsey rushed Dud and was met by a job, only to return for nmio. This time Carver closed his right with all the force be could muster to Dempsey?s jaw; for a fraction the boy stood still, and then he toppled over like a plank. He rose at the count of nine, and was met by another stinger before he could right himself; went down for six, rose again .and met a haymaker from Dud?s right that tuned the Angel?s Harp and was half carried to his corner. Dud?s right was Dempsey?s undoing.?
Those were the days when boxing was in its heyday. Howitzer Company#arranged! the exhibitions. Prominent* names among boxers included? Heitzmann, who fought fast and furiously; Young Fayard, and Kid Sinclair. It seemed from sports write-ups that everybody had a handle like "Kid or ?Young,? i.e. there "?as Kid Tomasich, Kid Seube, Kid Sinclair and Young Fayard.
Also prominent in the ring was the name Scafidi, but that is to be covered in another story.	;i
