 Seventeen rounds of good boxing and a wrestling match constituted the initial card of the Crystal Lake Athletic club Monday evening in the dancing pavilion at the lake. The men went on at oatchweights. The first offering of the prelims was be. tween two Rockville lads, Kid Sharkey and Young Carrol for three rounds. Carrol outweighed Sharkey and landed several telling blows, but the Kid put up such a game exhibition, coupled with number of we'll placed wallops, that he earned a draw. Young Helar and Young Kellen also of Rockville met in the second bout which was of four rounds duration. It was speedy all the way, the lads starting to mill it fast right off the gong. Kellem, who is dusky. when he got in punches showed that there was some heft be- hind them and made Helar seek safety in a clinoh several times. The clever boxer was Hslar and though he was considerably slowed up at times, he was entitled to a decision. Kellem outweighed Helar. Kid Ferry, the sailor, of Stafford Springs, mixed things with Battling McDonald of Rockville in the third go which went four rounds. The Kid was greatly by McDonald who had Joe Kid Rocko, lightweight champ of Connecticut in his corner while the Kid was looked after between rounds by inexperienced handlers. The Kid started off in the approv ed way, getting in neat punches and dancing out of the radius of MoDonald's s pile drivers. The Kid did SO good in the opening rounds that he got them, and the last two went to MoDonald who was the stronger by reason of better seconding and superior weight. The Kid sur prised his followers and his work won him general applause. He should do we'll against the lad his weight and challenged Mcdonald to make it for another bout. The feature bout was between Jimmy Farr, the Rockville pride, and Fitzgerald of Hartford. Both men started things whirling in the opener. Each used the rightl effectively. Fitz seemed to have the greater power behind his wallops. | Farr's footwork was neat Round even. In the second Fitz began shoot ing his left in after he had sent upl his right. Farr smashed in some solid ones to the body, then danced away, covering up against counters by Fitz. Fitz used both hands to good effect. Farr's oleverness and ability to land clean and telling punches made the round even. Fitz started smashing away with both hands at Farr in the third Then he for a time kept showing over his left and holding his right in reserve and whipping it up to the face with telling effect. Farr played on Fitz's stomach, also whackin Fitz's ribs with his right with good results. Fitz was the aggressor. It was Fitz's round. The fourth was unusually fast, both Punches were landed both on the face | and body. Farr used his right to face and whaoked with the same to ribs, guarding with his left. Farr was showed to the ropes but his oleverness earned him the round. The fifth was even, both boys displaying clever footwork and both getting in punches about even. Fitz was slowing up Farr by the power he put into his blows. The sixth went to Fitz. He away at Farr and had him on the ropes at different times Far seemed to be tiring. Fitz received number of blows to the head, but they did not have much effect, although clean. Farr placed some we'll -aimed
