Lightweight Championship of Western Canada
Thompson was down for two counts of nine in the thirteenth round before a Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable stopped the fight (New York Times). Hyland "put it all over" Thompson. Tacoma Daily News According to the Calgary Daily Herald, articles signed had called for both men to make 133 ringside, so Thompson forfeited his chance to box for the title as he failed to make weight.
