. . Furious Fight.
The fight was one of those grip-
ping battles which happen mice in
I season. From the first blow to
the last the spectators were on their
feet cheering, as the fighters stood
. toe to toe and volleyed blows at
, each other. There was no stalling.
. Both forgot. science. and worked
with a common idea—to drop the
a other for a count of ion.
Shea opened tip the btiitli. lie
‘Jurnped to the. clinmpion's corner
at the hell and for the first three
minutes carried the fight to the. title
.holder. Rosenberg. amazed at the.
speed and hitting ability of his chal-
lenger. crawled into a defensive.
shell and from his crouch married
the blows. which come from all di-
rections. as best he, could.
But the Shea assault was cut

contest he would not retain his title
by simply remaining upright.‘ Ros-
enberg forced Shea to C0\'t'r. He
met his cha lenger half way and
