The three hundred persons who af- tended. the second K-C smoker m slne Sunlight building on Thursday eVe- ming witnessed four snappy and ciev- CT boxing bouts, bouts that furnished | many exciting moments and all par
 ticipants exhibited much. speed ana cleverness. E [
 The feature bout was between Bar ney Keenan, pride of the local. force, and Sailor Jack Sullivan. of New London. Both men started in at fast pace which they maintained from start to finish and both showed unlimited resource in defence and at tack, neither giving an inch to his opponent. Barney started the bout
 with fierce rush but was met by
 counter attack from Sullivan who drove in with both left and right, scoring several fast body blows and | landing on Barney's neck. Barney fought wide open but forced the | fighting most of the way. Sullivan showed marked ability and outside of an exhibition his showing would be even better as he did not let himself l out to his fullest extent. Sullivan | was in the pink of condition and at | the end of the six rounds did not l show any of the effects the bout. Barney was trife heavy and showed the effects of the bout to a consider able extent as the body blows that Sullivan sent in got to Barneys wind. The semi-final bout between, two old-timers. Austin Rice of. New Lon don and Bob Cunningham, of Woon- socket furnished a clever exhibition
 of sparring as both boys" had all
 kinds of science. Rice, however,
 showed more speed than his opponent
 and his defense work was remarka-
 ble. Cunningham also showed flashes
 of speed at times but was not in as
 good condition as Rice and did not
 stand the pace that the old ring gen
 eral set
 The preliminary bouts were as fast
 as any lever seen at any exhibition
 tween Young Miller and Doty, two
 boys from the submarine base was a
 whirlwind from start to finish. Doty
 outhghting Miller in every one of the
 four rounds. Doty's chief stock in
 trade was savage back-hand left
 which he worked continually with
 good effect. Not only that but he
 was able to, change from his left tc a wicked right to the body. Miller led the fighting but was unable tc ! land a blow while Doty hit at will. The first bout between EmmittsoT and Tyre, two sailor boys, was fast
 and resulted in an even break. Tyr, started off the bout with flash O. { speed that stopped Emmittsou ant put him on the defensive for the frs ( two rounds. Tyre worked a short lief
 jab that found its mark every time $ The third and fourth rounds went |, < Emittson who started his left work
 ing and completely put a halt t, A Tyres aggressiveness.
