Things gradually warmed In round two, Malhowaon getting In two «tralght lefts to tho face, and McQuarrlo a awlft one to tho point.

closed, his right but seldom. ' ; In round six, Mathowson accepted a body right, giving a stinging Btraight left to the face twice. .McQuarrie's leads failed somewhat. Mathewson's left playing prominently, he followed m giving lefts and rights, and missed a lot of punishment. , Round 7— rMathewson took two lefts on the jpolnt and. a very dangerpus straight Tighi'to the' Body tliat winced him considerably. He kept out of reach as this go finished. * :■';•■ Round 8-^-Threo straight lefts from Mathewson drew a body smack from McQuarrie. '.The latter got right to the, point nicely but^took a deal on the face. '■' He was apparently seeking a knock-out. Mathewson boxed coolly. Round 9— McQuarrio got the body heavily and took a left on the head. He again got the body, Mathewson securing , the head with lefts arid rights thrice. The latter kept cool and Bhy. Round ten was warmly sharp. Mathewson chopped with the right to the jaw, McQuarrio going to the body again twice, and Mathowson going down as a result far a count of nine. McQuarrie's body punches were heavy and frequent. He disclosed a distinctly dangerous left which Mathewson^ continually accepted and grew par- ' tlcularly shy and rather weak towards the* olose. ' Round eleven was characteristically strenuous on McQuarrie's part. He took a soft tip twice from MathewHon's left and a smack on the jaw. By a keen, lightning like movement he bounded in' with a swinging right to the body and, crossing sharply with tho left, caught Mathewson neatly and securely on the jaw. The Dunedih man went down and out McQuarrie fought well and strenuously and hit hard every time. His win was popular. Apart from the knock-out, McQuarrio had the flght uo far on points. " .
