A Negro SlOgger Wins.
New LONDON, Conn.,, Sept. 13.-George
Bell, a New Haven negro, and Mike WEIGH
fought under the prize ring rules at
Groton Thursday night. In the first
round Bell got in several telling blows and
scored the first blood. WEIGH escaped
further punishment by going down. In
the second round the New Londoner was
knocked off his feet. He came up to the
Sd round, badly demoralized, with his
face bleeding and frightfully bruised.
Bell did some heavy hitting in the Sd
round and, at its conclusion, Welch was
evidently used up and failed to come to
time when called. The fight was awarded
to Bell.
