Swinging and Puffing

The once-dreaded right of the veteran Andre was pathetically slow last night but he managed to pound a straight left into Llewellyn's face with surprising regularity in the earlier stages. This seemed to be largely because the soldier advanced confidently uncovered, On went the fight with both men swinging hard and missing frequent- j ly. Andre, as he has often done in previous ring seemed to grow stronger towards the final stages, showing that if he has lost his speed, he still has stamina to his credit The most potent blow of the fight came in the eighth and last round. Puffing hard, Andre was now just as aga!

ive as the soldier. Driving him back into his own corner, Andre suddenly threw his right, landing it solidly on the soldier's jaw, For the first time in the eight rounds. Llewellyn was forced to cling des-berately to the Russian till his head cleared. That right hurt, but it came too late to have much effect on the big lead piled up by Llewellyn.
