He beat Neleon in forty rounds—beat him helpless but couldn't put him out. Two days ago he beat Moran. Moran wae clover, but not «reat fighter mong lightwelghts.

As a matter of fact it ts Wkely that any one of a dozen fairly good lightweights around the @ountry could have knocked out Nelwon en. Bat had begun to go back when ‘Wolgast got him, and the forty-round beating he took in that fight finished Bim. A year's rest afterward didn’ improve his fighting. He was eas: when Moran got him.
