New Haven. Nov. 27- "Knockout Brown fought fifteen rounds with Bert Keyes here tonight and although no decision was given the former had decidedly the better of the match. Keyes took much punishment and in the ninth round was badly off, but he came back stronger and in the last two rounds fought Brown to clinches, giving many straight jabs to the face and left and right hooks which shook Brown up considerably. Both men showed the effects of the bout. Keyes was battered about the body and Brown took his punishment in the face. When Keyes began to show signs of the battering Brown rushed more openly but Keyes met this with an occasional straight lead. After the tenth round Brown made every effort to end matters by forcing his opponent to clinch and duck but Keyes grew stronger and made Brown give way."
