"The end came suddenly. Both boys, gory from head to belt, their faces puffed and cut, where fighting near the ropes on the north side of the ring when Rivers suddenly collapsed. Wolgast previously in the same round and in several other rounds had struck Rivers rather low and when Rivers went down there was a sudden shout of "foul." In an instant Wolgast was down on top of Rivers, groaning. Wolgast rolled off Rivers' body, his features convulsed. Welsh immediately began counting and was still counting when he reached down and helped Wolgast to his feet. There were shouts that the bell had ended the round, while Welsh was counting. The arena by this time was in an uproar."
