"At the Very start of hostilities or alleged i hostilities.' Edgren said, "Promoter Billy Gibson nodded at me and winked, which I took to mean, 'Watch McVey. Billy sat with his chin resting on the edge of the ring and an expression of pleased anticipation ; on his face, like that of a cat viewing- a large dish of cream. "When the bell rang McVey was smiling pleasantly. Suddenly he shot out. his left hand and flicked the glove against Johnson's right eye.' Then Johnson rushed into a clinch, and plac ing the heel of his left glove roughly under McVey's chin, tilted bis head back and shoved hira away. As John sorf repeated this little performance In every clinch, some few spectators thought at first that he was very much annoyed with Mr. McVey. He also whanged at McVey's side, using the barred 'kidney punch.' stamped on the floor. - scowled and looked 'altogether too ferocious to be natural It's my guess that he was 'doing It for the pictures.' -i "Round after' round went by m much the same manner and the crowd hooted and hissed and finally began to sing derisively and asked the management to 'take off the preliminaries end put on a fight:' McVey was evidently not trying and Johnson was JUttle better. "But In the sixth, McVey. stung by a wild wallop that Johnson. In an un guarded moment, slipped into his ribs, suddenly began to fight.' Ha lammed the huge Battler around the ring, land ing smashing lefts and crashing rights with absolute accuracy, every blow going in like a bullet and hitting squarely on the mark, . In spite of his bombproof jaw, Johnson tottered, came back strong with a a wad el of wild ewlngs, threw McVey nearly through the ropes and tottered again. Then McVey let up. "From that time until the end of the tenth there was no action at all. The only interesting thing was Bijly Gibson's face. Ha was peering up Into the ring at "McVey in bewilderment, unbelief and something like disgust.
