...toward the end fought as the defensive and Grew did the forcing. Grew worked for Marquand's head entirely, and got in some god blows. The round ended in his favor.

Marquand plainly had the best of this round and the bout was awarded to him. Grew used his left almost altogether; he got in only two of the hard, right arm swings...
...denounce them as if they were employing no other means to obtain the desired result. They are the best judges. As a matter of fact, we have been assured by the management that they have been very far from idle.

Meanwhile the fire-plug had been gained, and ominous thuds began to tell of the severe ordeal the bowl was undergoing. Incensed, however, at being abused in such a way the fire-plug suddenly began to splutter and spurt, and in less than a minute the crowd was squirted away. This saved the bowl's life. For now the Meds had come...
