Death of Costello
Recalls Fight That
Lasted 80 Rounds

NEW YORK, Feb. Buffalo Co.'S
tello, once a well known pugilist, died
here last week and left behind him
the memory of me of the longest
fights ever decided in this country.
More than twenty years ago Costello,
then a second rate heavyweight, met
AleCk Groggains at the Coney Island
Athletic Club and at the end Of eigh
ty rounds the referee called the bat
tie a draw. Finish fights We're per-
mitted at Coney Island in those days,
for the late John y. McKane was SUI
preme and would brook no interfer-
enCe.
Costello and Greggains entered the
ring at about 10 o'clock in the even
ing and it was nearly a. IN. when
they were glad TO quit For the first
twenty rounds the scrap was fast
and interesting, but thereafter the
men became weary and in many Of
the rounds neither landed a blow. The
fight took place in a big, barnlike
structure in which there was no heat
and the spectators who braVed a
inowstorm to get to the ringSide
we're nearly frozen before they start
