This guy I ran across looking into another heavyweight I caught site of who'd fought another Hans Mueller opponent who I'm also going to work on some a file that was done by someone before.

Anyway decided to do this "tomato can"....

Sun, Jun 29, 1930, The Kansas City Star, Missouri - Promoter, Gabe Kaufman putting on a fight card at Muehlebach field, Wednesday night, Jul 9 will include Pat Hayward, 6 ft 4 in, 195 pound former Missouri amateur heavyweight champion, winning that title three years ago and since then had been fighting professionally out in California, against Count Ettor Mariana, 6 ft 2 in, 200 pounder from Italy. Mariana is reputed to be a millionaire.

Mon, Jul 07, 1930, The Kansas City Times, Missouri - Prefight discussions of the card to be held July 9th, notes that Count Ettore Mariana is form Rome, Italy came to Kansas City knowing how to play the piano, flute along with dancing and painting.

Thu, Jul 10, 1930, Kansas City Journal, Missouri - Ettore Mariana took two or three punches from Pat Hayward and was knocmillionareked out in the first round of thier scheduled 10 round bout, never striking a blow against Hayward. The San Francisco Examiner's short account of the fight listed also the 1st round KO. Hayward's fight weight at 198 and Mariana at 217. Believe BoxRec account of the KO happening in the 10th is a typo?
The Kansas City Times account of the fight also noted the stoppage in the first round. A lot of newspapers reran the same couple line fight result, Pat Hayward, Los Angeles, knocked out Ettore Mariana, Italy, (10) Meaning apparenty the 10th round. But the papers noted here specifically said the first round.
