gdtSy Kline, the Newark HBHlef,
got new record last night but it
will never appear in the books. He
Knocked out Young Driseoll, of
Brooklyn. twice in their ten-round
bout at the Hillside Athletic Club,
but still was forced to battle the full
ten rounds to get an easily-earned
decision.
This is how it happened. Kline
knocked Driscoll down with right
swing to the jaw for the count of
nine when the first round had
twenty-five seconds to go. When
Driscoll got up he clinched, but Kline
fought himself free and had Driseoll
lying across the ropes and out when
the bell ended the round. Identically
the same thing happened in the sec
ond round.
Drjscoll was just as much out as
any fighter that ever had a referee
toll the fateful ten over him, but the
bell saved him each time, and his
seconds were able to get him In shape
TO continue the battle.
Driscoll took an awful beating, and
how he lasted the ten rounds Is some
thing that the $500 fight fans who
witnessed the bout are still trying to
feure out today. Kline displayed
better form than he has ever SHOWN
in a. local ring, and outpointed, out
boxed outslugged and outeamed
Driscoll in every one of the ten
rounds. .Z.,,,.

Driscoll had everything in ms

After Adding for half a minute in
this round Kline again cut loose q
right swing and once more Driseoll
went down. 1t looked like curtains
for him, but he rose dizzily at the
count of nine and rushed into ham

strength of Referee Monroe to break.
Kline was little overanxious to
finish his man and missed couple 81
swings. enabling Driscoll to get hold
of him and hang on for dear life.
Kline rushed him around the ring,
landing ON him at will, but was I'M
able to connect with the sleep wallop
