pened?"
"No ringsters could be found who
saw the punch that actually was
supposed to have knocked out the
Brooklynlte," Eddie Muller wrote
in the San Francisco Examiner.
ILLUSION
Dick Friendlich wrote in the
Chronicle: "Kaplan dropped from
a left hook wnicn appeared to miss
the top of his head by at least six
inches. The apparent miss might
have been an optical Illusion."
Joe Phillips of the state .Atnietic

apparently Matthews threw two
lightning - quick punches and fans
