A thunderbolt, an Idaho mountain avalanche, a kick from the left foot of an army mule and the left glove of Young Firpo, nee Guido Bardelli, the bull from Burke, swinging in a long left hook, all landed simultaneously on the chin of George Manley of Denver in the first round of their return fight at the auditorium last night.

Young Firpo, by a knockout, in one round!

The lights went out for Denver, that's all, even though Manley tottered back on his feet at seven, only to be floored ferociously by Firpo again.

This second punch knocked Manley into the back corner, absolutely helpless, though once again he managed to get to his feet.

He was weaving and half paralyzed. He was out on his feet so completely that his eyes were were crossed. He stared from glassy eyeballs.

The referee again waved Firpo away. He looked at the helpless Manley, and at once walked over to Firpo and raised his hand.

"I stopped it when I did," said Louttit, "to prevent a fatality. Another punch probably would have killed Manley, he was so far gone."

It all happened so quickly that another packed house of excited customers was stunned. Not until several seconds did realization of Firpo's startling victory break through. Then they burst into wild cheers for their favorite.

Just two minutes --- that's all it took Firpo to win back the light heavyweight championship of the Pacific Coast that Manley had held for exactly two weeks.
