Chiet William C. Hart of the Pritain police department ordered the bout hetween Joe Zotter of this | city and Barney Youseman of Hart- | ford stopped in the middle of the| fourth round at the amateur tourna- | ment at the Mohawk A. C. at the| state armory last night when one of | the spectators jumped into the ring | protesting against alleged unfair | tactics of Youseman. Two polic men who were doing duty in the | hall climbed inte the ring to eject the spectator when the chief who was also present, ordered the bout stopped. “The Amateur Athletic Union has rules to condyct these bouts” the chiet sald, “and if they are not lived | up to, these fights cannot go on.” Youseman had repeatedly jabbed | Zotter with his left on breaking from the clinches aithough the New | Britain boy was breaking with his arms opened out. In the opinon of the writer, there | was no need for a fourth round. Zotter had clearly won the fight in | the three rounds, but the demand for a fourth round was shouted by spectators and the bout wag ruled | s draw. The crowd had been on | {its teet during the three cantos pro- | testing against the tactics employed | by Youseman and Referee Frank | Portell had repeatedly warned the | Hartford boxer but did not disquali- | 1y him. As the fourth round started, the two went into a clinch and after he had been ordered to break, Youse- man got one hand free and started | to pummel Zotter on the ribs. Su- | denly Frank Basil, a jitney- driver | who once fought as a professional | pugllist under the ring name of | “Battling Green,” leaped into the’l ring from his and squared off with Youseman. He was followed by Policeman Louis Harper and | John Rappinotti.

Wallace has been offered by Billy Gibson, XKaplan's manager, four times as much money as he received in the recent fight and even a chance to show his wares in Mad- the mecca for all those who follow prize fighting as a profession, but he has lent a deaf ear to all proposals. “I really don't blame him, Kaplan, “because it is a business proposition with him.” This is and his | little *“‘easy dough” before tackling Meriden man again.

A caulifiower ear and a twisted nose wre mute evidences of his profession, but his meek talk and his unassum- ing manner would belle his calling. In speaking of Wallace, Kaplan paid him the highest tribute one ter could give another. “How is allace as a fighter?” he was asked. “Very good,” he promptly answered, ind he made it plain that his qual- ification of him wasn’t because Wal- lace had knocked him out. “I think can beat him the next time we " he re rked. was asked what was to do to the next fighter he and he answered, “Well, he'll be just like men, human, you know, with two legs and arms.
