Hatfield Shades AdubatO

Pete Adubato made a whirlwind fin
fish In his f~our-round bout with Ray
Hatfield at Troxler's Central Institute
last night, but his conclusion in the
final session was not enough to over
haul the lead gained by Hatfield in the
third round. however. and as a result
Ray got the decision by a shade.
The first two rounds were about
even. In the next inning Hatfield
started with the intention OF spelling
Pete's face, and no accomplished his
purpose somewhat. as he had the gore
flowing freely from Adubato's nose.
In this session Hatfield landed three
blows to his opponents one, and dur
ing the last minute Pete was about
ready to drop as a result of terrific
lefts to the face. AT the start of the
fourth Pete came from his corner
meaning real business, and before the
round was up had landed repeatedly
on Hatfield's jaw. Ray stood 1t all
with ease, however, and came out
