AULIFFE
 AND LEWIS
 FIGHT DRAW
Fair Sized Crowd Sees Acorn A. 6. Boxing Bouts at
 Park City Rink
(By Wagner.)

Donning fur overcoats and ear muffs the fight fans penetrated to the wilds of the West End, last night, and at the Park City Rink saw a bunch of handy boys swapping rights and lefts. The chill winds whistIed about the building and as a deelgation of juven- ile sports opened the windows on the roof in order to peek through, the icy blasts descended upon the just and unjust below.
 To add joy to the occasion show CT of confetti greeted the ringside pa irons. Thds had been arranged on strings so that it might be used for a masquerade party tonight, but the wind started the brightly colored snow storm and for a few minutes the fans didn't know whether they were at a wedding or a box fight Some of them expected to be hit by an old shoe any minute.
 The members of the Acorn A. c. and a few rank outsiders who had gathered, saw a lively ten round go between Young N1cAuliffe of this city and Banty Lewis of New York. It was a fast draw with both youngsters in good shape at the finish.
 Lewis is smaller than the local boy but is faster and has a better defense. His peculiar crouch baffled McAuliffe at the start. From this position and when he seemed to be backing away.
 
 percut plant stiff jab on Macs countenance.
 While NGcAuliffe did not show as much speed he had more power behind his blows. He waded right in and took Lewis offerings without 9 mur- mur In the three final rounds after he had solved his opponents style, he chased Lewis around the ring and landed many hard wallops-
 He sent Lewis against the ropes on l h almost fell out of the ring. Mo Aulife's squirt came too late to give him the decision, but it showed that he is a strong finisher. Although Lewis landed frequently in the early stages his blows did not have enough steam to infIict any damage. In the semi-f1na1 Kid Lewis of Wa terbury outpointed Dave Ryan of this city. Lewis is the boy with the big muscles. He is a, hard hitter but Ryan kept inside and refused to make himself a target for the swats. Ryan e,ot by for six rounds but weakened | in the latter part of the battle and Lewis cut him up badly.
 Young Joe Walcott of this city, who has a complexion like a ton of coal, Ryan of New York, in the second round. Larry looked as if he had a hard passage the night before and he was trimmed before he started He went down with dull thud and d1dn know his own name for some time after.
 In the preliminary, Jackie Robinson l of Derby was chasing Kid Allen of | this city around the ring for two 1 rounds In the third he was again forcing the fighting when suddenly he | walked into one of Aliens haymakers and promptly went down for the | count.
 Dick Howell acted as referee of the bouts and did well. Harry Quinn was 1 timek keeper. He had a lot of stuff but l couldn't get it over. Senator Archi- l bald McNeil, Jr., was present with the members of the committee on ap- propriations as his guests. The com rnfttee consisted of Senator Claude l Stevens of Berlin, Representatives Nc 1 Gee of Watertown, Boyd of Woodbury | and Stevens of Rocky Hill.
 The crowd was only of fair propor- l tions but man who looked in anC saw the bulky form of Pete Musante | occupying three chairs, might think 1 there was quite a throng.
