Round 10. Costello led and landed
lightly on the stomach as soon as they
faced each other and after little spar
ring Greggains did like honors. At the
conclusion OF the round both men
seemed to be without blur on them
although both had received fearful
punishment.
Round 20. Costello made Greggains'

much.

danced, but not blow was struck be.
yond a few light feints. 1t looks as ii
1t were anybody's fight. Neither man

the ropes, landing light on jaw and
right on his damaged cur. Costello was
in close quarters and went down to
avoid punishment.

few blows were exchanged.

In the 9th round the fighting was in

gains fell over him.
In round 20, Costello started blood
from Greggains' nose again and the
round ended with honors in Costello's
favor.
In the next four rounds there was
little punishment.
Tho next three rounds were tame,
but in round 40 Costello forced the
fighting and hammered Greggains' nose
till the blood covered his face. The
round ended by Greggains scoring the
first knock down Of the fight.
From round 45 until round 81, the
fight was exceedingly wearlsome to the
spectators, who at intervals called for
more fighting. In round 81,
spurred by the yells Of the crowd, the
two men mixed together for few
exchanges and Costello went down, but
Greggains did not follow up his advan-
tage. The round ended with both spar
ring. 1t was rumored here that Cos.
telio had broken his right hand and
could not force the fighting. The two
rounds following were tame.
Jeered by the crowd the fighters did
little work in rounds 81 to SO, but it
was tame sport at best and the
crowd began to thin out. Once, how
ever, Greggains in mix-up showed his
ability and there was every indication
that round would wind up, but the bell
rang and the men separated at the op-
perfume moment
The fight was declared draw in the
eightieth round.
