FRAMES VICTORY POPULAR
Frayne's victory over Hyland was a
popular one on the whole. though there
were many of Hyland's admirers who
believed that a draw would have been
more Just. Still, when the fight is fig
ured closely on points and on its merits,
Frayne won by a hair margin. Had he
been possessed of a telling punch he
possibly could have knocked Hyland
out or at least put him on the broad OF
his back on several occasions. But
Johnny did not show us the real crush
ing waIlop last night. Perhaps he will
in the future.
Fravne was cool throughout and
used both hands to advantage. His
best punches were a right and left
hook to the jaw and his famous one,
two punch--a left. closely followed by
a right. He landed all of these on
Hyland's head time after time, ana
most of the time he managed TO make
a clever getaway, though there were
several occasions when Fighting DICK
would bore in on his man and rush
him hard with body punches.
Hyland, as usual, made his best show
ing in the inhghting and with his ia
nous kidney punches From the third
until about the tenth round he went
after Frayne fast and had him red
dened up very much about the BODY.
Frayne seemed to slacken speed and
many of the fans feared that Hyland s
constant hammerings would sap his VI
tality but he soon found an out
TURNS IN THE TWELFTH
This the local boy accomplished in
the twelfth round. which was the turn
ing point for him. He met Hyland
squarely In the middle of the ring and
began shooting rights and lefts to
Dicks head. Hyland seemed bewildered
under the rain of wallops and for a
moment lost his bearings. Frayne
went all the harder. From that round
on he seemed to gain new confidence.
For the first five or six rounds the
fight looked like bloomer- Both men
were slow to lead, and when they did
they Invariably ran into a clinch.
Frayne could not seem to get started,
and Hyland did far and away the better
work with his body punches. 1t was
along about the sixth that things began
to look real bad for Johnny. Hyland
rushed him hard and landed many a
mean one to the body. Frayne would
retaliate occasionally with lefts to the
head and light rights to the body, but
none of these seemed to have any seri-
Gus effect upon Hyland, who continued
to tear in.
But once Frayne got start Hyland
was quick to lose the slight lead he had
gained. He made the mistake of rush
ing into clinches too frequently and of
holding on when he could have been
free and fighting with both hands.
Fravne too. was guilty of much hold
ing. but he was far more clever and Ju-
dicious than his opponent, and his Of
fenses were not so noticeable, and when
he did break away he generally squared
himself by shooting in punch or two.
All these things counted against Hy-
land in the long route.
AGGRESSIVE AND MORE CLEVER
Taking it all in all Frayne landed
about three punches to Hyland's one.
He was more clever, just as aggressive
and fought a far cleaner battle. Though
It is not victory that will make
Frayne famous or disgrace Hyland, still
IT helps the local lightweight along on
the championship road and will put
him right in the limelight as good
card in the future.
