The champion took a count of nine before arising, and there- after, until the finish, boxed with pronounced caution, carfefully pick- openings for his powerful rights and crushing lofts, under which Mitchell finally had to crumble Leonard’'s destructive punching capabilities, his dazzling speed and cleverness, and the piston-like ra- pidity with which he flalls with both fists, enabled him to emerge the ring with his class leader- ship still unimpaired. In Mitchell the champion encountered a lad who is unquestionably the greatest light- welight in the country, outside the hamplonx Mitchell, fire in despite the withering | of blows he was forced to facc the opening session, fought a sur- prisingly strong battle, and was at all times dangerous.

Right up to the beginning of the sixth round the Milwaukee lad was dangerous, and he shared the offen- sive, as the crowd spurred him on in his thrilling efforts A Great Spectacle All the Way. The frst round will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed the bout. Indeed, the fight, from begin- ning to end, will live long in memory.
