C., when he outfought George Reisler of New York and easily carried away a decision in thé six rounds. Reisler had all the appearance of being a clever ring master. He put up a defense that was superb but he failed to £o0 on the attack except for spasmo- dic flashes. Martin plugged away all night long and beat Reisler to the punch at every opportunity, In the for- ways when both boys steod toe to toe, Martin, although the lighter hitter, punched willingly with his hard-swinging opponent and there wasn't any question about the deci- sion at the end. Neither boy was in any danger at any time during the beut, Johnny Clinch knocked out Ed- die Moseley of New York, a choco- late colored battler, in the third round of their acheduled four round preliminary. To ringsiders, it ap- peared that Moseley went down Johnny's punches. Clinch was giv- ing him a terrific lacing from the start of the bout and Moseley could- n't stand up in under the barrage. Although he started off I. Moge- ley was badly licked until Refersa “Jigger” McCarthy counted him out, Bernard Flood of this city meet- ing the much-experienced Ted Gau- thier of Springfield in a four-round- er, was stopped from further fight- ing by Referee McCarthy in tho third round eof their scheduled four- rounder. Flood was out at the enl of the second round but the bell saved him from a knockou;. He in- sisted on going back ana iras like & wild tiger in the fourth. Gauthier, calm and cool all through. caught him with pile driving rights and lefts and Flood went ‘down. Mc- Carthy wisely put an end te the battle over the protests of the local y. Jack Paoli of Waterbury got a decision in four rounds over Mickey Todd of Litchfield in a slow bont, the second on the card. Todd, a deaf mute, did a lot of wrestling but little fighting. The bout wi at- red by the consistent clinching of the two battlers, i The curtain-raiser was the beat bout on the program. Les Oben- heimer, a vicious puncher from Springfield, won the decision over Jack Sharkey in four r~~=ds. Both >hoyn hammered away at each other | with the boy from the City of Homes having the better of the go- ing. The semi-final bout was called off when Dr. Frank Zwick, examining physician for the state commission |declared that 8id Relsler's bleod |pressure was too high to allow him to fight.
