Byers was knocked out tonight by Frank
Cnilds in the seventeenth round of what
was to have been a ~twenty-round contest.
Byers was ten or fifteen pounds lighter

lacked steam and when he landed did but
little damage. Childs in the fourth round
stood perfectly still and let Byers hit him
on the chin and mouth three times in
succession, making no effort to defend
himself or avoid the blows. He knocked
Byers down three times with left swings
on the chin before the fight ended and had
IL al his own way from the third round to
the finish. Creeden and Stiff will light

notes for nearly $1,000. Three of the notes

they, too. have been negotiated. MIR. Cook

intended doing was to go out on a trial trip
