This must have annoyed Moore intensely, for his one delight is to hit the cover off the bull, and we remembered that in the first innings he had made no stroke at all when Nichols bowled him.

Glasgow, Aug. 17. Johnny McGrory and Denny Coplan fought to a draw to-night in their ten-round bout hers.

The fight was originally "bill- ed" as for the British Empire featherweight title, but McGrory was found to be four pounds over- weight. The men therefore fought at catchweights and the title was not involved.

McCrory was very aggressive at the opening and early on he knocked down Caplan with left and right to the chin.

In the second and third rounds, the Lendoner was shaken by body punches but defended amely despite bleeding from the mouth.

CAPLAN RALLIES

In the tenth round, towards the end of the fight, Caplan rallied strangly, punishing McGrory with hard rights before the final beli.

Eight thousand spectators cheered Capinn's plucky display,
