Walls ,however. was the aggres- sor throughout and in the first staggered Slade with a herd left. The Canadian champion drove his opponent to the ropes again in the fourth but could not finish. him off. Slade. who seemed to freshen with every round, changed his style in the seventh and moved in under walls to open a cut over his l'oe's left eye. The cut was patched but Slade re-opened it in the tenth in. wihi-h both fighters stood toe to toe and slugged it out for s. time.

FOUR STITCHES

Walls had four stitches on his left eye. In the dressing room the Canadian fighter said that he knew that "Blade was going to make me look bad with his style of fight-

"But there was nothing much I could do about it.” He said he would give Slade a return bout. if
