He was too fast, too clever and too smart for the powerful and rugged Italian, setting at naught his brunette rival�s strength and terrific punching power by sheer and skill.

	Sanstol won seven of the ten rounds, as he flashed in and out, shooting darting gloves into the ~~Italian’s~~ impassive face. He lost the fourth, when Bernasconi lashed a terrific left hook to the head that jarred the blonde, and dropped a shade in the ninth and tenth. With blood pouring from a re-opened cut on his left eye at the finish, Sanstol fought furiously and gamely, but half-blinded by blood, he ran into many a powerful punch and the battle finished with the Italian smashing home punches, walking in and taking ~~Sanstol’s~~ darting hooks and jabs in an effort to land a knock-out blow.

	In the first three rounds, Sanstol uncovered a dazzling display of ringcraft and speed that made the Italian look slow by comparison. Sanstol, blond, smooth-skinned and blue-eyed, was in striking physical contrast to the swarthy, black-eyed Italian, with his fine muscular development, powerful-looking arms and shoulders. Bernasconi plainly was built for punching, and Sanstol, on the racy grey-hound type, for speed.

Bernasconi plainly was built for punching, and Sanstol, on the racy grey-hound type, for speed.

	For three rounds the darting Sanstol banged and hooked the Italian almost at will. He was in and out weaving, swaying and leaping, his fists shooting with rapier-like precision from all angles, jolting and jarring the Italian as they landed about his head. Bernasconi frequently lashed out his powerful punches but Sanstol, keen and alert was underneath the heavy blows, or outside them.

Bernasconi frequently lashed out his powerful punches but Sanstol, keen and alert was underneath the heavy blows, or outside them.

	Thus they went into the fourth, with Sanstol leading by the proverbial mile. Bernasconi was plainly annoyed, for he came out of his corner with a rush, was almost in ~~Sanstol’s~~ corner before the blonde got out, and promptly nailed Pete with a high left hook to the head. Sanstol was staggered. He back-pedaled hastily, ducking and dodging more blows, and Bernasconi followed him. Temporarily the Italian was halted as Sanstol set himself and whipped right and left to the jaw, but the southerner was ploughing in again at the finish of the round.

	From that to the ninth, Sanstol carried every round. He was in and out at whippet speed, his fists darting to the head, ducking under return blows. In the ninth, Bernasconi hit low, his punch landing on the leg. Previously, as early as the third, Bernasconi had seemed to hit low, but Sanstol only laughed when the Italian apologized. In the ninth, however, the blonde hopped around on one leg a [illegible] a low blow. In a close exchange, Sanstol emerged bleeding badly from a cut which he had taken into the ring, a souvenir of his recent Toronto bout. Blood flowed freely, and Bernasconi drove in, both his battering fists flying. Sanstol was hard put to it to weather the storm, and there was whirlwind and gory battling through the two final sessions, to end the fight in spectacular fashion.
