‘hes been a great fight ever sence ne Meee start last January
but‘it looks to me like the kid se going to take him. The o 1d man
has Stayed in there on his experience alone. And what experience!
But the new year is the fresher of the two now. Joe Knack

is the referee and I'll get his opinion. Say as who just landed

that last lett?
Knack----- Whet 's that? The last left? I guess I wasn't looking.

Meh1l---~- Not looking? You'ré the referee arentt you? Youfre

Supposed to look,

nate t know but sometimes it gets so brutal I have to close
my eyes. Anyway I like that part where I ates my eyes.

Mehl----- The kid's got him, hasn't he Joe? Bhe old man can't
last through this round. By the way, what round is it?

Knack----What round? I'll have to dheok bp. Let's see, we started
this fight in a 1937. The second round was in February. My
aunt visited me that month. The third round was in March. I
remember hearing the robins.. The fourth round was in April, the

fifth in May, the sixth in June, the seventh in July. I remember

the old guy started perspiring about that time. After figuring it
out this is the twelfth round.
