Britt was wild again, and tho Fngiishman seemed to have his measure, Twice he sent Jim's head tlop- ping back with well-directed right-hand punches that landed fairly on tie chin. Britt came back like a mad bull, but White, still cool, apparently enjoying it, picked off blow after blow, smothering everything. It was an evet fight, Britt perhaps a bit more aggressive, White cooler and more , clever, both giving and taking witbout a sign of fatigue.
