 By c. c. HAWAIIAN. Red Allen, lightweight champion of Connecticut and Al Ketchen were win ners on the supposed to be all-star card in New Britan last night. Allen
 winning easily over "Whitey" Fitz- l gerald, former Philly fighter and ketchell putting the k. O. on Young | Pella of New Haven. The Bridge porters furnished the only real excite | ment of the whole show, which for the most part was a slow moving pro Slam.
 Allen had the better of the main bout of twelve rounds through the whole distance and several times from the I first round to the finish threatened | to put a sleeper on the former I1ey- | stone state artist. Fitzsimmons was dazed in the first round when Allen l sent a left smash squarely to his face, | but the BridgepOrter did not follow up this advantage quickly enough and | his opponent stalled to the end of the round.
 Allen proved throughout the bout | that he can assimulate punishment
 when it comes to, for while he had | the better of the Hartford man, the latter proved a slugger and when he | landed they had force behind them. K~tchen disposed of Pella in the | opening round. After. landing blow that sent the New Havener through the ropes, Ketcheu set himself and when Pella made a lead for the head l he was handed a. solar pleXts that sent him down for the count. The opinion of the fight fans was | that the show was poorly handled at the best. None of the fighters were protected in the ring arrange ments and all were in danger of seri- ous hurts from going through the ropes. PelIa for example badly banged his hip when Ketchen drove him through the ropes.
 | Louie Bogash, Sam Drivers wei | terweight star, and Al Ketchen will | clash in the star bout at the Akorn | A. c. smoker tonight. There are four
 bouts down on the program, the rest of the card is Young O'Connel vs | Young O'Leary; Jackie Brown vs. | Paddy Burns and Nick Fitzsimmons | Young McAuillfe will be the third
 man in the ring and Fritz Hartman
 will hold the watch.
 The boxing fans in Boston and vii
 cinity have gone wild over the latest sensation in the midleweight ranks,
 Young KIoby His knockout of Eddie l Shevlin, who was the recognized
 New England middleweight champion l in Lawrence the other night, has | caused the Beantown boxing follow
 CTS to think they have found Jack | Rritton's successor to the middle 1 weight crown.
 l Klobv, since his arrival from France has been taking them all on and putting them to sleep with clocklike regularity. His style of fighting is like that of Jack Dempsey, wading in. swinging both arms, and has l kick of a mule in each fist as is shown in his long record of knock
 outs. But he will have to have little more science before stacking up against such an experienced box
 CT as the willy. Jack Britton.
 Harry Greb of Pittsburg, will meet George Robinson of Cambridge, be
 fore the Armory A. c. over the twelve
 round route in Boston tonight. The l coIored boxer has been yelling for
 q chance at Greb for long time and claims he has it on the Smoky I City star any time. Well George will have a, tough time this evening. l Paul Doyle, formerly of New Haven 1 who is now making Boston his home, | will meet Barney Adair, the crack French featherweight, in twelve round bout before the Commercial A. c. in Boston Friday night Adair | is quite popular in Boston and the indications are that a record break i ing crowd will be on hand
 | Doyle came very near making a nice little roll in Lawrence the other | night When it looked as though ] Sheylin was going to run out Of his
 bout with Young Kloby, Doyle was
 offered $500 to go on in Shevltn's
 place but at the last minute Kloby's
 opponent put in appearance and PauIs
 sweet smile faded.
 1 When 1t comes to freak sporting news, you have to hand it to the i London scribes. Every now and then | some rank stuff makes its way across | the Atlantic. The latest to appear 1 in the London publications was a story in the London Daily Express claiming that Jack Dempsey beat
 Willard with a freak punch and ad- | vised Joe Beckett, the British champ to learn the new wallop and study
 a method to block it.
 | Most of the fans that were present f at the Wllard-Dempsey affair at | Toledo will tell you that Dempsey i hit Willard with every blow known
 to a boxer, hit him with both fists
 and in every part of Wizards body. There is only one way to prevent i Dempsey from landing on his jaw and that is to keep away from the squared arena while the Salt Lake City boy is in the ring.
 Joe Leonard, the Brooklyn feath- | erweight who won a twenty-round 1 decision over Kid Coster, the New Orleans star in the latter city a short
 while ago, has been matched to meet
 George Lavigne at Newport, R. l.,
 on Labor Day.
 Tom Cowler, the man with the
 timid jaw, is now in Mexico City
 working in conjunction with Jack
 Johnson, in an attempt to fleece the | reyolut!oists out of their hard earned
