n, ut ex, jia Speaking of Sports Bobby Garcla, once rated among the world's greatest featherweight tighters, s an object of pity to most of the 3,000 fight fans assem- bled at the Hartford Velodrome last night as he took a terrific beating at the hands of Leo (Kid) Roy, champion of Canada. Garcia, only the merest shell of the fighter who stood up againdt “Kid" Kaplan of Meriden for nine hectic rounds a few years ago, had no defens against Roy's punches and he was in terrible shape when the fight tinally ended. Garcia's skid down tha paths| which lead to fistic oblivion started when he was knocked out by Kap- lan in the game ring in which he lost last nifht. Shortly after that. he suffered a one-round knockout at the hands of Danny Kramer of Philadelphia and since that time, he has been going back farther and farther. Kaplan's ability to wreck an op- ponents body while he was still in the featherweight ranks. was proved more than once. He scored a techni- eal knockout over Roy in Montreal finishing the bout in six rounds. His progress in the lightweight ranks has been anything but suc- cessful. Many are of the opinion that | he is all done. Others are not so sure. Only the future will tell. Officials of the Hardware A. C. plan to hold the first outdoor hout | of the season at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park next week either Wednesday or Thursday night. The €lub was prevented from opening on July 6 as had been tentatively planned because of the fact that the tighters sought, were unavailable. Officials of the club are to meet with the committee of policemen handling the arrangements for the annual police department field day | ©On August 5. A part of the evening's | program wil consist of a boxing tournament and members of the elub are planning to help arrange the bouts with the committee ‘mem- bers. Entries for the athletle avants will be closed on August 3 and it is expected that some of the greatest athletes in this section of the coun- try will ‘be seen in action in the var- ‘ous events planned. BOBBY GARCIAI KAYOED BY ROY Dusky Featherweight Only Shell o Former Fighter Bobby Garcla, a pitiable shell of the fighter who was once acclaimed @8 the leading contender for -the world's featherweight champion- ship, was unable to answer the bell in the seventh round of his bout with Leo (Kid) Roy, champion of Canada, at the Hartford velodrome last night and Roy was declared the winner on a technical knockout. To the fans who had seen Garcia in action before last night, the pounding he received at the hands of the Canadian appeared cruel and the absolutely defenseless showing of the one-time threat in the fea- ther ranks was a sorry spectacle Garcia was battered from the first gong until he was dropped by a right just as the bell hit to end the sixth round. AVith face puffed out of shape, blood streaming from his nose and mouth and his eyes glazed and. legs wobbling, the former sol- dier from Baltimore staggered to his eorner only to pass out completely. Garcia, in the minds of those who -aw him last night, appears headed for the “nut house” in which all fighters who take beatings like he took last night eventually land. Roy, displaying pretty form and a smart ability werthy of a champion, hit Garcla at will with wicked rights and lefts and had ‘the fqrmer con- tender in a bad way from the sec- ond round on. The fans who for- merly admired Garcia, pleaded with him to “wake up,” but that appar- ently was what Bobby was unable to do last night. For several minutes after the fight was over. Garcia was unable to leave the ring and when he finally essayed to reach his dress- ing room, he was sick all the way. In the semi-final Bobby Mays of New London won a close 10-round decision over Billy Grimes of Aus- tralia. Harry Le Fay of Troy, N. Y., defeated Eddie Elkins of New York in another 10-rounder, and Harry Beott, Atlantic City Negro, knocked out the veteran Tommy Dunn of Holyoke. in the fourth round .

The Baptists then made a trio. but the winners came back with a like number. It was no 11-3, the Baptists having heen abla to score in only one inning off Harry Strom- quist. In the last inning George Hallin took up what was supposed to be the pitching for the Bible class. He was extremely wild and passed sev- eral men, and when he got the ball near the plate it was promptly belt- ed to far corners of tha lot.
