ended in the tenth round The
Waterbury lad was just about az full
of works as one of the timepieces
that made his home town famous.
but the works had just about as much
control of his hands as the mechan-
ism of dollar watch has on is
hands after a years use.
One thing, though, must be said.
Fasane wound up enough times last
night to keep a Waterbury watch GO
ing forever, and every time he would
wind up he would uncork a wild rush
and swing, aimed in the general di-
rection of Bender. Sometimes it
landed, but more often it failed 10
connect, and Fasane would adjust
his balance wheel and start another
wild dash.
After the fight Bender displayed a
badly damaged left hand and stated
that 1t was broken. He claimed he
broke 1t in the very first round when
he hit Fasane on the elbow. and that
he was unable to use 1t at all after

and one round was almost Identical
with another. Fasane would start out
with q wild swing and Bender would
run away before 1t would have
chance to connect. Nothing daunted.
Fasane would start again, and about
once in six times he would land. He
would vary the swings occasionally
with a straight left jab to the face.
and soon had Bender's right eye in a
bad way, while he was bleeding from
the lips through most of the battle.

The Other bouts.
In the semi-final of six rounds
"Take-the-C Count Raymond, Of this
city, belled his name, and was never
in danger of doing it at the hands Of
Eddie Conway, of New York. The
first two rounds were even, but in the
third Raymond took a lead. and in-,
creased II in every round after that.
1t was his first appearance in a six
round bout, and showed that he can
go the distance in handy style.
Kid Grant, of Newark, repeated his
performance of last week in the first
preliminary, when he took WALTON
on the jaw before the first round was
half over and went to the mat and
stayed there. Johnny Davis, also OF
Newark. handed out the wallop WHICH
landed flush on the point of the chin,
and the next thing Grant knew was
when Referee Monroe was helping
him to his corner.
