C

After lengthy discussion, and also after Milligan had been promised extra money, it was decided to res- trict the contest to 16 rounds at catch-weights.

To me Rosenbloom looked a light- heavy-weight. He was much taller than Milligan, and also longer of reach, and it is plain, truth to say that he had matters almost all his own way for eight rounds. He was not only trickier than Milligan, but more agile and faster with his punches. He scored when he liked with loft hooks, straight lefts, and uppercuts, and in the eighth round, when Milligan was showing signs of wear, it seemed certain that the

American would win on points. He proved himself to be an expert in holding, but in the eighth round he

began to fade away, as the result

of a battering to the body.

If he had been able to hit with anything like reasonable power he would have won in the early stages, but Milligan never gave up hope, and the first real chance that came to him was taken finely. He waited for one of Rosenbloom's rushes, and smashed him to the body with his left. It was all over as the Ameri- can fell.

The last time I saw Kent play, they bad what might be termed a "scratch" side on duty, A. P. F. Chapman and Frank Woolley' were both engaged in representative cricket, and there were other ab- sentees owing to the time of the year. But two of the Bryan family were available-J. L. and G.

An English cricketer-journalist of note once said that A. C. M'Laren's ease and grace at the wicket remained vividly in his mind by virtue of ene occasion on which the great Lancastrian was clean bowled in playing forward.

Kent cricket has that virtue, too-the virtue of elegance even in defeat. At Canterbury aud Tunbridge Wells they laugh at the frowns of For- tune, as who should say:--

Looking ill prevail?"

Kid Pattenden, of Bethnal Green, a

product of the Working Lads' Federation clubs, knocked out Kid Nicholson, of Leeds, in the twelfth round of a really splendid bout.

Nicholson showed the better box- ing, but he made a big mistake in carrying the fight at an exceeding- ly fast pace to a lad whose staying power and ability to fight back after being hurt are his greatest assets. The Leeds boxer put in some very fine straight loft hitting, and at times he made Pattenden miss bnd- ly with righthand punches for the chin.

In the eleventh round a splendid righthand punch to the chin put Nichol on down for four seconds before the bell came to his rescue.
