Willimantic, Feb. 9.—Clsse to 300 fight fang packed the Valley street armory, Wednesday night, to witness the first.of a series of boxing bouts given by local talent under the auspices of the Stevens| Athletic Chub. The main bout echeduled for ten rounds, between Steve Chauters and Young Mercier, 135 only went three rounds, Chaators threwing up the sponge, when he received a good lacing at the hands of Mercier, who made quite & rec- ord for himself while in the navy. Mer- cier toved with his opponent in the first two rounds and after feeling him out, cut Joose in the third, knocking Chautors to {he ropes. Mercier covered up, in ward- ing what few biows Chautors aimed at him and the fans hope to see him against some worthy opposition in the near fu- tare. Jos Connel] and Jim Ashmore were in Marcier's corner and Pat- Connell and Nick Ezwonczyk in Chawtors. The other bouts were more produetive of thrills than _the main one. In the opener, Young Bellevance, better known as “Half-Pint” kayoed Young Pepin in the second round of a scheduled six- round go, as “pin feather weights.” Jim Duffy and Paul Johnson, two cel- ored men, weighed in at 150, had a spir- ted four-round go. Duffy was awarded the decision in the first round on a foul, but the bout was continued by mutual consent. Johnson showed much more science than his opponent but forgot himself in the opening round and cut Joose with a haymaker, while Duffy was on his kuses. Johnson floored his eppo- nent for the count in the last round. Les- ~ Flipen was in Duffy’s corner and Joe ers in Johnson's. The next bout between “Curley” La- moureus and Young Rickard, a six-round at 135, was a good one, Lamou- 2d considerable on Rickard in and in reach. but the latter put zame battle. although floored in the round.
