 AT BOXING MATCH
Houmey and Leonard Sent From
 Ring by Referee Willis

King EoNin- is travcIils; around to- day with u badly disco1orcd optic as the result of an affair that occurred last night in l;urdcck'S hall, when packry iommcl. of Brooklyn, 'lnd Joe Lconurd of New York, were sent from the ring by Referee John r.. Willis Tine mon had been signed tO display he goods in the star bout and they certainly were not doing 1t lc the satisfaction of the crowd or ;nc referee. and after they had nrunccd through eight rounds and had resumed thcir rOom-matc stunt m Che ninth &tanZ;p, the affair was halted. If HommcN aud Leonard in tended to raE" the bout they were poor actors From the very outset, tGC crowd displayed it's dissatiSfac- ton over the manner in which tho boXcra were working, and throughout the affair many Of the men who had paid their "Eood iack' 10 witness the bout left the buildinG.. The bout was ono Or the poorest ever held in this city, and il is 10 be hoped that a sim ilar occurrence will not happen in the future. There were some persons around the rncside that expressed the belief that Hommey was trying to make d battle of the affair. At the close of the tiaSco Referee Willis in formed the manager of Hommey that the boys were pulling their punches.
 No Work, No Pay.
 Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed by Managers Burns and Lenney of the boxers. because Match maker Jack Reinas refused to pay the men after the affair was stopped Both men made a determined effort today to secure the amounts that was promised them in the guarantee. It has been customary in the past, and rightly it is believed by many, that boxers who are sent from the ring do not receive any money for their part in the exhibition. This it would seem is the only way to handle box CTS who do not come up to the eXpeC- tations of the crowd. Summing up last nights poor affair it is only an- other case where the public who sup port boxing came in for a "Sypping". The past exhibitions have been con- ducted cleanly. for probably the rea- son that New York boxers were kept off the card. The affair is a strong argument for commissions to govern such shows, and it might be a good thing if New Britain prom oters, make
  known for their honest efforts to give tho public a run for their money
 Up to- the time that the '"night- maro' was staged in the closing bout, everybody seemed perfectly satisfied with the show and there were numer- ous expressions to this effect. But, as Briggs would say, or picture, "Some one is, always taking the joy out Of life,%f " :" >'H& .ita < .,.Ey Z M.
 At the#closo of. the exhibition the xnann gers of the star bout ''perform ers'' made a demand on the manage mcnt for their coin, which as far as is known, is still forthcoming. Match maker Reinas, has in his previous OK hibitionS, paid the boxers for their work, and there has never been a kick over the manner in which he con- ducted his shows. In staging last nights show he was ot, the belief that two top notch boys had been secured to give the fans ,a good nights enter | tainment. 'E.i.@t' :S% ssf-Ns:, a$+tSStEy.ti
 The bouts drew a crowdatr house, boxing fans from various parts of 1 the state being in attendance. - The Real scrap.
 The Kid Lewis Mickey TraVerS bout was the real battle of the eve
 
 plaudod at the end of the bout. Lewis is a clever little fellow, who seems to l lack hard kick, but hc reached l Mick eN several times last night. Tray l CTS on the other hand is a hard mill- | CT and several of his blows to Lewis ! mid-W orlls, seemed to have a telling 1 effect. The bout was d good draw
 Sweeney Brennan Bout. The bout between Bill Sweeney, of ! this city, and Kid, Brennan, of Hart 1 ford. was filled with excitement dur ! ing the four rounds that the boys were in action. The bill was sched- uled for six rounds but it terminated in the fourth round when Brennan 1 was nurt when both men fell to the | floor, with Sweeney on top. Brennan l is considerably smaller in statue than | his opponent last night, but he is a l good willing little fellow " Scarlctt K. O.'s FrcdCrickS.
 Jimmy Scarlet lived up to the eN- | pectations of his friends last night ! when he stopped Eddie lFrCderckS in the third round. Both boys battlcd : at top speed and the blow that ended l TrcderickS' hopes was a hard smash to tho jaw. Tn falling Frederick < 1 head hit the floor heavily, and he | sustained d bad GaSh on the back of 1 tho head.
