During his recreation he becomes impressed with the way "Sylves" shines shoes and figures he ought to make good as a scrapper. "Knock 'em Dead Kelly," whose manager happens into Hadley's office to draw up a life contract, gives Bill the idea, so Bill loses no time in assuring "Sylves" that his fortune will be made providing he puts his future in Bill's hands. In due time Bill gets a match with his "brush pusher" against "Knock 'em Dead Kelly." Bill figures that Ethel, with all her attractiveness, ought to help a lot, so he arranges with her to be at the ringside, and if she sees that things are not going the right way for "Sylves" to use all her cunning and make an impression with "Knock 'em Dead Kelly." Ethel, true to her promise, starts in, and as Bill figured, "Knock 'em Dead Kelly" becomes more interested in Ethel than in his opponent, and during a careless moment, one that puts an end to all hopes of "Sylves" over becoming a champion.
