Finally Landed the Right One.

In the thirty-ninth round Cross made
a game rally, and 1t looked for few
moments as though he might win. but
he could not hold the pace. In the forti-
eth round he was almost out several
times, but he lasted through. In the
forty-first round Hyland savagely smoth-
cred Cross with blows to the face and
body and finally dropped him with a
left hook to the stomach.
Chilled to the bone by wind and fog
AMI weakened by body-punching, Hy-
land. the stronger of the two men, showed
signs Of distress in the nineteenth After
that it was one continuous succession of
Hyland rounds. Strangely enough, ii was
the loser more than the victor who re-
ceived the praise of the small crowd as
ii filed its way out of the fog g-dripping z
arena. Game to the core was Cross and
his blocking. even when he was so daZed
that he could hardly see. was marvellous
When it Is remembered that never be-
fore In his life has the New Yorker gone
more than ten rounds. when his physique
as against that Of the stocky Californian
is remembered and when it is understood
he was all but Knocked out as early as
the nineteenth round, his staying for al
most the schedule length of the fight is
wonderful. OF Hyland little can be said
save that he beat Cross. wearing him
down in the clnches with upper cuts TO
the head and body. Dicks standing, Ii
anything. was damaged by the length of
the fight. Had he finished Cross. as he
might have done when the fight was
twenty rounds old, credit would have been
his. But he failed utterly and it was
only when Cross was utterly exhausted
that the fight was finally brought to a
close. Hyland was slow to think and
slower to act.

HYLAND KNOCKS
OUT LEACH CROSS
End Came in Forty-First
Round of Fierce
Fighting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 26-Leach
Cross was knocked out by Dick Hyland
In the forty-first round here today. For
the first six rounds Cross made monkey
out of HyIand, hitting him when and
where he pleased and getting away with
out injury, but he made a big mistake of
not playing hard for the mouth and jaw.
The result was he was pumped out by
the seventh round and Hyland then was
able to reach him with fierce left-hand
blows to the body which weakened Cross.
Every expert at the ringside expected
to see Cross out by the fifteenth round.
as thick fog blowing in from the ocean
chilled the New York boy and seemed to
give him cramps in the legs. Cross fought
a fine. heady fight against great odds. He
covered beautifully, avoiding many vi
cious uppercuts, and he protected him
self well from body blows. Cross was
knocked down first in the twenty-sixth
| round, and the blow was 50 powerful it
| looked though he were out, but he
came back. showing wonderful recupera-
| tive powers. The sympathy Of the small
| audience was altogether with Cross now
and he was cheered loudly when he came
out in the twenty-seventh round and actu-
ally made Hyland back up. From this
| time on. however, it was only a question
| of how long Cross could last. as he had
| lost most of the steam from his punch.
Hyland showed no class whatever. He
| knocked Cross down ten times and when
| the New Yorker came up grogsy he had
not the skill to put over a knockout
punch.

Hyland Hadn't the Punch.

One or two punches carefully delivered
and well timed would have stopped Cross
for good and all. But Hyland was not
equal to the occasion.
Cross seconds pleaded with him after
the twentieth round to let them end the
fight They begged him harder than ever
after the twenty-sixth. in which he suf-
fered his first knock-down. But CLASSY
eyed and weak as he was on his legs,
Cross gave them decided no"
He's got to knock me out / tell YOU"
was his answer. Il will not quit until l
am down there for good. l am going to
keep on fighting.
And Cross did keep on fighting. going
,thuough round after round. when st
seemed as If each would have been his
last. Even when the final knockout came
the crowd was hoping the New Yorker
would go the limit. Such gameness as he
was displaying was entitled to it's reward
After the fight Cross said Hyland was
too strong for him. and after ten rounds
had been fought he knew the Californian
would win. Cross won many friends by
his showing. but II was plainly proved he
would have no show with Nelson in a
finish fight.

these rivers where great industrial
plants are located but the freshet
seemed to have reached its highest
stage last night and river men thought
that today would see a falling off in
water depth.
In Brattleboro, VT, the water reach

st. George hotel, lodging house in
Howards street, were thrown into a
panic by fire which completely des-
troyed the building, a three story
frame structure, early today. While
it is not known any lives were lost,

guests could not be accounted for.
Six men We're severely burned, one
probably fatally. Many received minor
injuries by leaping from the upper
stories or being trampled in the mad
rush to escape.
