Battle with Hurley the
Night Before.
TVT LILLE BEECHER, the East Side
w lightweight, met Fighting Dick

w lightweight, met Fighting Dick
Hyland, of California, in a ten
round bout at the Long Acre A. A.
stag last night and at the final bell
he had enough the better of the going
to have been entitled to the decision
had one been rendered.
Hyland can blame his defeat on the
fact that he tried to fight two bat
ties in the short period of twenty-four
hours. His hard go with Battling Hur-
ley the previous night left him SO stiff
fened up that he could not get going
until it was too late for him to over
come the lead which Beecher had Sc
cured in the first seven rounds of the
bout.
In the last three rounds Hyland
fought hard and certainly got home
many a blow to Bechers body and
kidneys which would have won the bat
tie for him had he landed more of them
at the beginning of the bout. In the
eighth and ninth rounds Hyland kept
constantly boring into Beecher and
ripped in blow after blow into his body
and face, Beecher firing somewhat as
a result of these punches.
In the tenth and last round the boys
slugged away at each other with both
hands for the entire three minutes,
while the crowd stood up and yelled
themselves hoarse When the bell rang
they both were tired from their exer-
tions, but Beecher had shade the bet
ter of the walloping.
At the Lehigh A. c. tonight Dixie Kid

Tom O'faourlke has called off the ten
round bout between Sam Isangford and

authorities might prevent the contest
on account of Langford being too prom
inent a fighter.
