Fighting Dick Hyland. the rugged
| Californian, did not belle his ring cog
nomen last night when he trounced
Bertram Keyes, of this city, In a stub
born ten-round tussle at the Olympic
/ A. C.
The coast lads persistency was what
earned him the honors, for. though de-
feat stared him squarely in the face in
the early rounds, he plugged along until
he had Reyes almost pleading for Glenn
ency in the last three rounds. Hyland's
aggressive qualities earned him a host
of new friends among the mob that
sweltered in the none too spacious
| quarters of the uptown club.
Hyland also displayed a variety of
gameness seldom seen in a local ring.
His left y was robbed of it's vision In
the very first round, when a forceful
right from the Reyes person found its
| mark. Hyland blinked a few times
after the blow, then the puffed
optic closed up as tight as a clam.
Tom Mcmahon had the better of a
| ten-round fight at New Castle, Pa, last
| night with Frank Mantell, of Paw

as referee.

second round of an ei~ght-round bout
at Memphis last night before the South
ern A. c., Joe Coster. of Brooklyn,
fought gamely through to the end, but
lost the decision to Joe Mandot, of New
| Orleans. Coster's lip wass pitt in the
first round, his eye was partly closed in
the third round and he suffered a sec
ond k~nockdown in the sixth Only in
the fifth and last round did Coster live
up to the reputation that made him
enter the ring a hot favorite in the
meeting.
