(West Hartle- pool) knocked him out in four rounds at the Crystal Palace. London had to give away a good deal In the matter of height and reach, but be did not allow Pettifer to do much damage while the bout lasted Potti- fer was put away with a left hook flush to the jaw, this punch following a right which had staggered the giant. The end came with surprising sud- denness. Pettifer had forced London to the ropes, and after an exchange of body blows he stopped back.

As he came off the ropes London hit out with his right, which caught Pettifer on the jaw. It was a hard punch, and Pettifer, dropped his guard. London leapt in with his left, and l'ettifer drupped. like a log on to his back.

There was little to enthuse over in the flight, and Pettifer in particular did not seem to have got into his stride when the end came. He ap- peared to be waiting his chance to land a big punch.
