Bogash Gets Hold
 On We1ter Title
Local Boy Showed Superiority Over K. O. Palitz In Ga sno Bout and Will Proceed to Seek Bigger Game
 Affair Was Financial Success
(By G. c. Hawman.)

Not one or the pest put the pest bout ever seen on local card as far as fighting is concerned, is the opin- ion of the fans that packed the Casino to it's doors last night to wit ness Louis Bogash, state welterweight champion, win the decision over Dave Palitz of Hartford. The upstate boxer was no cinch for the local Italian, and although he took more punishment than any ordinary ring ster h. sent in many a hard punch to Bogash's head and had the latter working the hardest he has in a long time.
 Bogash showed a lot of improve ment, plenty of speed and an ability to hit from any angle, but his punches lacked the necessary steam to put the Hartford battler away, most of his blows were a chop and with his front kunckles which in with his front kBES&les which in his opponent Pa1itz took every punch Bogash had without retreat ing one inch, bleeding from the mouth and nose from the first round to the finish, until the ninth and tenth when the latter tired. Palitz, heavy hit ter, sent in hard lefts that would have slowed up a boxer of ordinary
  stitution was too much for the old timer and they had no effect on the latter.
 Bogash started off strong and for | two rounds whaling the Capitol City boy around the ring with right and | Iefts to the jaw, keeping the latter too busy lodging blows to get any in, and it seemed as though he was ! groggy, but the third found him | bleeding hard but fighting still and l when Bogash slowed up in the third he sent his famous left to the head 1 but the blows bothered the local boy as much as rain falling on duck. The fourth, fifth and sixth Bogash | rained punches from every angle to PaIitz's head and body and it seemed ! a number of times that the local boy i would do what Jack Britton couldn't accomplish and put the up-stater to sleep. but somehow the latter stood | through it all and with ciaret flowing in a stream from his mouth in the sixth.
 Bogash tired himself out trying for a knockout and in the tenth slowed
 up considerably, in which although
 receiving the most punishment, the willy old veterans experience stood { Sii V local boys head back with stiff left jabs opening a cut over his left eye. Joe Shugrue induced the Hartford
 battler to change his style which l showed better defense toward Bo- gash and the remaining rounds were 1 even. Bogash weighed 145 and Palitz 14S1A.
 The Sapper Cohen and Sailor Darcy | of ich n | second bout of the evening, was put | on after the star bout, on account or i Darcy arriving late from New York.
 Everybody had their fighting appe- i tfte satisfied by the Bogash affair,
 and Darcy. too, seemed in a hurry l and in consequence Speidefs orches-
 tra played slow music for the Sapper l in the second round after the Gunner from the U. S. S. Kansas sent in a l broadside of heavy punches Sapper's seconds tossed in the towel while the latter lay writhing the floor as the | result of Darcy's blows to the jaw. Darcy is one of the neatest fighters | ever seen in a preliminary here, he is quick as lightning in following up an opening and possesses a punch in | either hand.
 Young Mack and Young O'Leary ha0 tnelr bout puSneu up 10 lIle SeC-
 ond opener instead of the semi-final
 because of Darcy's lateness. Youns
 McAuliffe handed down a draw as
 his decision after ten slow rounds
 O'Leary should have received the
 decision by the use of his left jab
 but the bout was nothing to shout | over as the boy from the Acorn club refused to stand up and fight the l Hartford bantam which was proba bly, a very good thing for him
 O'Leary had weight. height and reach in his favor and he proceeded to keeI
 Mack at long distance and going into , a clinch when the Italian got tot close O'Leary's weight was announc , ed at 12214, but it cannot be under . stood how he can weigh in at tha poundage when he never has com' t under PA. Mack weighed 11S1a. } Terry O'Connor of Hartford wol : the decision over Leo Johnson. tn s dusky chap from. Joe Smiths stabl 7 in the opener. O'Connor using lef ? jab that kept Johnscn's head roczin; 3 back and forth.
 , McAuliffe refereed the bouts il l good style and Pat McGee with hi l silvery voice reached all four corner
 of the crowded hall. Mike O'Conno = held the time piece. The receipts O a the show were about $3,50O. L
