40.—Some slight exchanges, without mischief, and Jones down.
41.—Paddock came up with an awful grin; his single open peeper glaring in a most ludicrous manner. He tried to lead off, but napped it on the smeller and left ear, from which the main was again tuned on. Paddock then made his right on the ribs, and Jones dropped.
42.—Paddock again effected a heavy right-handed delivery on the ribs, and after slight exchanges both were down.
43.—Slight exchanges, in which neither was effective, and in a scramble they fell. Paddock under.
44.—Jones attempted to lead off, but was easily stopped; Paddock returning heavily on his left eye, and then on the body, again screwed his courage to the sticking-place, and a second with his right and got down.
45.—Paddock led off, but was short. In another attempt he reached Aaron’s damaged bread-basket, and dropped à la Bendigo. He jumped up to renew the fight, when Jones nailed him on the left side of his brain-pan, and Tom finally dropped to end this round.
46.—Jones tried to lead, but was very slow, and easily stopped. Paddock again reached his ribs with his right, and a sharpish rally ended in their failing together at the ropes.
47.—Paddock’s left was out of distance; he tried his right at the body but missed, and Jones dashing in, caught him on the right cheek slightly, and fell on his face.
48.—Counter-hits with the left, Paddock catching Jones very heavily on the left temple, and dropping him as if shot.
49.—Jones, very slow to the call of time, at length came up wildly. He staggered in to close, and they fell, Jones under.
