REIMER OUTPOINTED | Ohariic Pitts of Bridgeport, a Trifle to Clever for Local Boxer—Sullivan- | Rocco in Draw Battle. Bobby Reimer of this city, was outpointed by Charlie Pitts of Bridge- port last evening in Meriden, before the Lenox A. C. The mill was over the 12 round route, and there was not a dull moment in any one of them: The superor cleverness of the Park City lad, plled up for him a' commanding lead toward the latter part of the battle. When it looked as if the local boxer would be badly Leaten he staged a rally in the twelfth round that sent the attendants into a near frenzy of excitement. The New Britain contingent had an oppor- tunity to root lustily for their favor- | ite in the sixth round, when the Aus- | tralian was in a bad way, but Reimer did not pack the necessary Mary Ann to produce the sleeping potion. In the tenth and eleventh rounds Pitts was hooted for his tactics, particu- larly in the tenth when in a break away, he clipped Reimer a nasty blow on the jaw which did not do the local bey any good. Reimer's work slowed up perceptibly after this. s In the semi-final Jackie Sullivan of : ‘Waterbury and Joe Rocco of Hart- ford fought an eight-round draw. Im- mediately at the close of the bout, the boys were re-matched to fight at | the next exhibition of the club in May. Another of the roquefort brand of fighters that the Capitol city pro- duces, met defeat last evening, when | Eddie O'Brien of New Haven gave K. ' 0. Fitzgerald a lesson in the manly art of self defense- The Hartford boy was considerably heavier than his opponent, and showed an inclina- tion to rough it at times. However, O'Brien had the knowledge of the game. The crowd was a slim one. Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven inandled the boxers in the ring. | Using Our Golf Course for Gardening A Hex! MATTA { MAT !!
