HAPLAN BATTERED BUT ROLL ENLARGED Louis Gefs Langest Slice for Waterbury Scrap Concensus of opinion among those who saw the DeMarco-Kaplan fight in Waterbury the other night seems to prove conclusively that the Meriden kid certainly took a good drubbing and was extremely lucky in getting |the draw decision given by “Young McAuliffe, and for which he has been called upoa by the state boxing com- mission to explain, Kaplan's features were badly bat- tered and his body was pink from the blows that he stopped, while DeMarco, those who saw the fight say, was in much better shape. But be that as it may, the Meriden battler got the largest slice of the re- ceipts, According to the official figures an- nounced, it is estimated that the Brass City man cleared between $1,500 and $2,000 after footing all the bills, The number that filed -their way into the Armory totaled 3,188, falling |about 100 short of the outpouring llllat turned out for the Kaplan-Garcia {mix several weeks ago.
