board which will be filled by Mayor
Price, former Mayor Howell With
holding the appointment owing to the
fact that the term of office of the ap-

Sweeney went along without dc.

til 1900, when he was matched to
fight Dial HAWKING in Hartford. Haw-
kins, a Californian, who now runs q

New York, proved almost as much Of
a surprise to the fans OF the Connecti-

he fought Terry McGoYern there u
little later, Dial was a ferocious little
fighter, and In his left paw he packed
punch that has seldom been sur.
passed for effectiveness. The blow
apparently travelled only few inches.
but when 1t landed it was a case OF

Sweeney then fought another draw
with McFadden, and in 1902 defeated
