In the fifth round the gunner was driven to the topes but quick as lightning he was up again and showered a series of blows which" "almost caused Flacher to lose his guard." The men were sparring at Rickwood's corner when the gong sounded. In the last round, Fincher again led bat, was stopped short in his formid- able thrusts by a right uppercut from ble opponent. Maltera were more or less pro gressing even when the sounding of the goog brought the contest to a close. At the com clusion of the last round, the referee aunounced that the rounds had been so close that he | decided to call for another three-minute round, tha decision baing received with acclamation. 564,847.44 There was give and take in the beginning of 54,834,773.16 the deciding round and the gunnar at one time warmed up to his work. The result of the sight was a win for Fincher on points. *.
The second contest was another six two- minute rounds, this time between Seaman Sky Kerrison,of H.M.S. Kent, and Seaman Mustard, of H.M.S. Bedford, In the first round Karison was twice driven to the ropes. Thereafter there were several clinches and after each break, Mustard's right found bis opponent's jaw with flail-driving force. In the ensuing rounds there was, much of the"give-and-take- business and the fight was declared a draw...... The next event was six two minute rounds between Lance-Corporal Field, of The Baffi, and Private · · Bakar, also of The Bufft, 435,794.79 and was a regular burlesque. The private, who had an advantage in height and had a longer reach, than his opponent, caused roars of laughter by his crude exhibition of the poble am.
