Betting Brisk.
.Betting on the outcome of tonlght'a

cording to Ullard
Referee Lea Weiss, In conference
with the two heavlea yesterday, ex
plained In detail lust what ne win
and will not stand for In tonight's
brawl. Byrne has been criticised for
hl pset action In the ring, especially
when meeting a colored man.
Hitting after the bell ending a

, lng clean at the orders of the referee
and numerous other Infractions of
the rules wen explained to forestall
any action on the part of either
fighter, which might mar the even
ing'! program.
Byrne Pears Temper.
Byrne asked Referee Lea Weiss If
they would be warned for any foul
tactics, before awarding the fight to
the fouled fighter. Byrne explained
that In the heat of battle he some
times took every advantage, but If
warned then and there he hardly
ever forgot It.
It la not likely that the referee will
stop the fight unless one or the other
of the fighters persists In unneces
sary roughness.

Into Schaaf with withering assault
to the bead.
Schaaf had fought his way out of
a few similar flurries earlier In the

mothering th Boston blond's ef

of th way, thumping Baer with both
