The fight was not so hot. John Sidello of Meriden, a sailor | in private’life, was altogether too | smart for Jack Basil of Hartford in | the 126 pound class. Bath boys went at each other with hammer | and tongs but Sidello, showing all | the earmarks of a veteran, staved off Basil's rushes and sent home | some punishing blows.
