(By Fred Dartneli)
London, Dec. 15. Peter Kane, the Liverpool fly- weight, is the big drawing card amongst the smaller men of the ring just now, and last night at Earl's Court there was again a good attendance to sec him repeat his usual victory.
Kane's opponent was the Belgian lad, Gaston Vandenbos, and although he put up an amazing display of toughness and pluck Kane won in the sixth round, the bout being stop- ped by the referce, Mr. Jack Smith. At this stage Vandenbus trad been hammered and punched from pillar to post. Kane hunted him all over the ring and never allowed him 'second's rest.

Kane's speed and superior skill eclipsed all but the splendid the courage
and pugnacily of Belgian.
Vandenbos never endeavoured to evade any of the philess punishment to which he was subjected. In fact, he rushed to meet it and even Kane seemed to be surprised to find bis little rival coming up again again for the fray.
