THE PUGlLlsTS
FITZGERALD AND
 DOHERTY BOUT
The New Havener Was Given [ Good Trimming -Preliminaries
 Were Interesting.

Willie Fitzgerald. of BrooKiyn made a monkey of Jen Doherty, ana showed him up like a novice in last nights star event on the program oi entertainment offered to the mem bersof the Liberty club at Bridgepor! last night Doherty tin-canned around the square continuously, and scarcely landed half dozen blows in fhe farce, for it could not be called a battle.
 Fitzgerald had it on Doherty every minute, without shade of doupt and he did not have to half warm up to hand choice assortment or nst- icuffs to the New Haven boy. Doherty is not Fitz's class by a mile and ne knew it.
 Fitzgerald, who recently put Amby McGarry in dreamland in 2ia min utas in the first round of their go. showed the crowd, and it was a good crowd. both galleries being nearly filled. and the orchestra seats being half. taken. his new "23" punch. He tried 1t on Doherty in the first round dealing out three rapid left hand hooks !n succession.
 Amby McGarry was present and was introduced to Joe Humphries. the Announcer and referee. McGarry wants to again face his. conqueror. Tommy Condon also seemed anxious ious to face the winner of the bout.
 Fitzgerald continued to pound away at Jeff in every round, with Doherty holding for time at every chance. Fitz has queer manner of breaking a ciinch. Doherty would try to hold his hands after clinching. but Fiz would reach underneath somehow. coming up on Jen' JawIne funny blow tickled the crowd. In the fourth round Fitz suddenly uniimber- ed a terrific left swing which caught Jeff little high on the jaw. Jef pitched forward, and it looked all over, but he went into a clinch, and stayed the round. Had the gloves been a bit lighter. Fitz would have cut Doherty to pieces. e
 Fftzgerald was seconded by Fred Mayor, Ted ONeil and Jimmy OMal- ly, and Danny Walker. Bunty Ford and Tommy Connolly were in Doher- Cs corner.
 In the preiiminaries Danny Dunn went on with. Mark Holmes instead of Terry Edwards. as was billed. and put up cprking good fight Dunn vas con siderably heavier than Holmes and his weirht counted fin the long mn though 1t was a good draw. Ducky kept on the aggressive most of the time, but got ss good ss he sent. Dunn had . surprising manner of suddenly coming out of A cover up and counting heavily on Holmes. He is from New York.

 Young Bevsns was heavier. but re csived little of the short end of the % with Kid spads. Bevsns would never follow up after counting. and lot many sn. opportunity.
