It may have it. that the changed sty.e o 1 Ked i dish had so com pletely upset his plan of attack that instead of making the headwnv ho had planned, he wa? focred to fight a battle to the loca lad's advantage. Reddish entered the ling weighing 1<3 pounds, while Brown came in at 1 do pounds. Frank Sullivan was the referee. In the first round Brown tried to ^ make a rushing fight but after re-> ceiving two hard left hooks as he came in. one.which sent him to the, floor immediately, had him on the defensive. When the round had ended Reddish was credited, with three knock downs. __In the second round Reddish kept poking hard lefts and rights to the body. The local youngster shot his blows so fast and with such amazing accuracy that Brown had no defence. for blocking the punches. Three times from hard blows and shoves out of clinches he sent Brown to the floor. Brown then suddenly came to life and smacked The Wildcat two or three hard overhand rights that! made h;m back away. /Then came) another clinch with Brown watching! for another chance to use the overhard nunrht of the Dave Shade order.) Reddish backed away and threw his! guard high and catching the punch} countered with a right to the body, that <er.t Brown to the floor for the count of nine. The third round produced some fair action. Reddish kept circling his charging foe making him miss-repeatedlv. The two swapped punches with The Wildcat having the better; of the exchanges. Reddish was more} accurate and was hitting hai'dor all; the time. I/eft hooks were gradually;! weakening Brown.
