...quiet, both men feeling around a good deal. In the second and third rounds Bangs forced the fighting, but his advances were well met and again the judges had to announce a draw. The final light-weight wrestling went to Cabot, who won the only fall in the second bout; Paine did not appear for the third. The floor was now cleared for the tug-of-war.
