He said he was not only fouled in the frst round, when Kilbane hit him in the groin with his knee, but later on, when the champion continued fighting efter the bell had rung and Frush had dropped his arms. Frush explains that he waited with his statement until the public had a chance to see the moving pictures of 2 He oontends he should have been declared the victor in the firat round or counted out, alleging here was good second money, how-' ne would have been counted out if ever, to pile up to the stable's credit.
