Norwich bulletin., 1920-04-23

Mickey Galy of Detroit, who substituted for Mickey Devine of Providence, when Galy's seconds threw in the sponge at the end of the sixth round of scheduled eight round bout at the K-C smoker at | Olympic hall on Thursday evening | Pleines and Galy fought hard and fast i for the first four round and after that 1t | was all the New Haven boys fight.
 Tracey Ferguson of New Haven kock- | ed out Jack Sullivan of Bridgeport in the | second round of their scheduled six | round bout. Sullivan outpointed Fergu- l son in the first round, but in the second the Bridgeport boy was all at sea when 1 Ferguson opened up.
 Jack Carberry and Ted Russell, sched- | uled for a four round go, so obviously laid down in their fighting that Referee Fury threw the local boys out of the ring and out of the fight game in this city forever It was the worst exhibition of boxing two fighters ever tried to put over on the Norwich public and Referee Fury was justified in his action, although Rus sell seemed hurt at the rough way he had been treated by Fury. These two boys are done forever in this town and no self respecting promoter will ever try to match either of them again. The preliminary between Jack Rose of New Haven and Young Gendron of Provi- dence ended abruptly in the second round when Rose hit Gendron with a straight right just above the heart and Gendron took the count. Gendron apparently had the best of the first round getting easily to Roses head and body. but in the sec ond round he apparently lost his nerve and caution and Rose slipped one over on | him.
 The Main Bout.
 | This bout brought the fans to their feet l for four rounds, when it was seen that 1 Galy was fast slipping and was done for. l Besides being exciting it was positively l humorous, as Galy has the most absurd movements, facial ccntortions and habit of "shinmying" from time to time. He | is about as fat as match but is fast on l his feet and clever at lodging, which | saved him time after time. When the 1 two fighters entered the ring Galy did not have friend in the house, but after he got going the crowd was all with him. Pleines outweighed Galy by several pounds but Galy gave him hard four rounds and had the New Haven boy puff | ing hard at the end of each round. The first round started with Pleines | working hard to land, but GaIy kept his left straight out in front of him and stopped Pleipes from landing. Pleines ] missed several haymakers that he started from his nip, Galy quickly ducking them | and letting them pass over his head. C4aly lacked the punch and when he did land, which was seldom, the blows had no effect.
 The second round was repetition of the first with Galy shimmying around the ring. In the third Galy let out a little and landed several times, once with a right to the kitchen that hurt Pleines This round was the only one that could be given to Galy.
 The fourth round was even. neither boxer doing much damage. The fiftf i, round was the beginning of the end, fol it had only gone few seconds before Pleines let loose, rushed Galy to th' ropes and planted both right and left oi his nose and jaw Galy wobbled gro
 tesquely around the ring and with an
 other right he went down. It looked lik
 curtains for a few seconds but at tn
 count of nine he got up and tore int
 Pleines. Galy was bleeding freely iron
 g. gash on the rose and cut over tn
 right eye. He was game, however, an
 fought to the end of the round.
 Still bleeding profusely, the Detroit bo
 went through the sixth round and woul
 have gone in for the seventh if his sec
 onds had not thrown in the sponge. Bot
 fighters were covered in the blood tha
 flowed from the cuts on Galy's face ]
 reminded one of the old days when bar
 lvnuckles were in style. After the bou
 Galy had to have several stitches take
 in his cuts.
 Ferguson Knocks Out Sullivan.
 The semi-final bout, although it taste
 only round and a half, was fast and fu
 rious Sullivan opened the bout by cal
 rying the fight to Ferguson's corner an
 landing several wicked left hooks on Fel
 guson's jaw that shook up Ferguson
 Ferguson in his turn also came bac
 strong and hit with a straight right
 the head. It was Sullivan's round
 The second round opened with Sulliva
 swinging his left, but Ferguson was wis
 to his tactics and opening up soon ha
 Sullivan groggy and then slipped over
 wicked right to Sullivan's jaw, and tf
 Bridgeport boy took the count.
 From the Ringside.
 Fans sure had their moneys worth ct, 3 the last two bouts but they sure did 2 SY Uoefully stung on the first two. 67 For funny movements and freak m % tions, Galy is second only to Charl aS a5 Chaplin.
 100 For good fighting and clever work V s6 take off our hats to Tracy Ferguson H
 judgment displayed in sizing up Sullivs ct. was remarkable.
 'SS 3 As to the Carberry-Russell bout, wor, ,Ss fail us to describe the poor sportsma 100 ship shown by the principals. All V ,5O can say is that it was ROTTEN. ;99 ;99 Young Joe Cans introduced himself 100 Norwich fans and challenged anyol
 from 140 to 150 pounds. His challen,
 was accepted by Lawrence of New H ,1o ven.
