The star bout was to have been between Chick Brown of New Haven and California Frankie Burns, but the Californian fail- ed to put'in an’appearance and Sold- ier Fulton of Camp Dix was put on instead. Fulton started off in grand style and it looked like a good fight for the first minute but Brown let loose try- ing for a knockout. He floored Ful- ton for the count of nine in the first round and pushed him up against the ropes where Fulton sat and tried to cover up. Fulton had a_wicked left but could not land it. In the third round Brown again knocked the sold- ier down several times and the last time sent him through the ropes for the count. Before the star bout went on Brown's manager put up a cry for his money and refused to let Brown go on. When the management stated that Brown's share of the fight would 20 to the Red Cross, if he did not go in, friend manager, seeing a cool hundred and a half slipping from his grasp sent Brown in. ‘And Brown's brother went and sat with the man who was holding the\money. The semi final between Tony Marto of New York and Bill Reynolds of Bridgeport was one of the best fights ever seen here. The boys were about evenly matched with perhaps the ad- vantage being with Reynolds in reach and weight. Marto being the clever- est of the two had a shade on Rey- nolds in science and experience. Marto led the fighting all the way in what proved to be a slugging match of the first magnitude. In the eighth round, Reynolds sprained his wrist and the bout was declared off. The preliminary was a tame affair, Rankin having a goodly number. of pounds on his opponent. Marisco was seized with an attack of cold feet.in the second round and let Red pat him on, the jaw for a knockout. It's too bad that Rankin can’t meet with somebody in his class that will make him show what he can really do. When Jackie Wilson tapped the gong in the last round it looked as if he had sounded the knell for the boxing game in Norwich. The crowd at the exhibi- tion on Monday night was small and the crowd were dissatisfied with the results but in the semi final they cer- tainly got their money’s worth. Manager Hastedt has tried to give the fighting public a square deal and has secured some good men but at the last minute the principals have crab- bed the show. Dave Fitzgerald refereed the bouts and seemed to give the crowd a square deal as thers was no comment on his ability. Shore Line vs. Taftville. The Shore Line team will play the Taftville team captained by Fred Du- gas on the Taftville field, Thursday afternoon at 1:30. Eddie Curran the fast Shore Line pitcher will twirl no more for the Carmen having resigned his position to enter the big leagues. Fred Purple a star semi-pro man will do the twirling for the railroad team in the future.
