Sammy Waltz's days as a boxer against top notch boys seem to be at an end. Last night, for the fourth time in his career, the Hartford boy was knocked out, this time by Hughie Hutchison of Philadelphla. After watching the boys in action for three minutes, the writer .s at a loss to account why Waltz's manager ever made the match. As has been the rule on so many occasions in the past, ‘Waltz proved to be a willing boy, even in the face of overwhelming odds. There never was a time last night that Sam was in the running. Hutchi- son was cool and confident through- out the short battle, and he adminis- tered some heavy purishment to the Hartford boy. Waltz stopped a wicked wallop in the second round that opened up a bad gash over his left . In the Afth round, after the men bad boxed a few seconds, Hutchison sent Waltz to the canvas with a right hand smash that landed ‘‘on the button.” Waltz only took a short count, before he arose. He was again sent to the floor, and again he arose too quickly. While he was reeling around the ring, someone shouted to him to go down, and he did. The referee then stonped the battle, which was good judgmcat, as Waltz was un- able to halt Hutchison's driving smashes. Young Mack stopped Ralph Sullivan in the fourth round. Eddie Connors won a technical kayo over Jimmy Shea when the latter hurt his bhead by a fall in the fourth round Two unknowns furnished the prelim- fnary. There was a good attendance BRITISH GOLFERS WIN Match.
