 Boy-HanSOn KayOS Christie

crowd. far too small for the fine exhibition staged at the Lyceum Theater last night. saw a boxing show that easily was one of the best ever held in this city. Under the auspices of the Major A. c, four contests. all of which. with exception, went the advertised distance. appeased the capacities of the fans in attendance. There was not a hitch in the evenings entertain ment and after the first bout had been started there were no waits between bouts. An orchestra added to the entertainment.
 The Star Bout.
 The star bout. which brought together for the second time within a few months Dave Palitz of Hartford. and Jimmy Kelly. of New York. was a hummer from the first gong until the final ending of the affair. To the writer 1t looked like Kelly the winner. Pslitz's followers were satisfied that the Bronx Besrcat won. Taking the bout by rounds. the only time Dave seemed to have any advantage fin the opener. when he outboxed the New Yorker. who seemed to be feeling his man out. Kelly was the sggressor most of the time and his punches seemed to carry the most power behind them. Palitz stiiI is the same old crafty boy that he has been during the long time he has been performing. On two casions the Capital City boy looked as if bell was a mighty relief to him both Of these occasions
 Hanson Kayos Christie.
 Bobby Hanson. the batfcrfnE Dane rom New York. made short work of Joe Christie. Of Hartford. sending him to the canvas in the second round. Christie was no match for the Gothamite. who started after his man al the first bell, and ft was only some fast footwork on the part of Joe that made it possible for hirp to go to his corner at the close of the round. In round two. Hanson leaped from his chair and, meeting Christie in his corner he shot that powerful left of his to Christie's face. The Hartford boy went to the canvas. his head being outside He the count of three only 10 he met with fusil- Jade of punches. He went down for the second time and Eamely arose at the count of nine. The final smash. a hard right to the jaw. ended the affair. Christie was able to leave the ring in a few moments and he was given a good hand by the crowd.
