A fortnight ago he was beaten by Alike Ballerino, Junior Lightweight Champion. During the bout he whispered to his handlers that he had a pain in his chest. He was defeated, went to a hospital with pneumonia, was defeated again...

A round for Walker. Hardy Referee Purdy, still in the ring despite his pain, but tiring badly now, was knocked down again.

In small concentrations, these gases have a sternutatory (sneeze causing) effect and in larger concentrations cause acute pain similar to but more violent than that caused by fresh water getting into the nose while bathing. An accompanying symptom is appalling mental distress and misery. They are rarely fatal, but very difficult to control with respirators, owing to the fact that the molecules, moving very slowly, can get through the walls of most masks in effective quantities...
