PALITZ BEATS AMES
 IN EASY FASHION
Bill Sweeney Draws With Mickey
 Dance in Evenings Best Bout

prot2 b1y met for the last time ill the ring. For some time there has been a diversion of opinion as to who V as who between the pair but doubts were cast aside last night at Bardeck'B hall when Palitz won by city block oVCl tho popular red d-iCId. The boys, having clashed several times before. were rather wary of each other in the opening rounds but as time went on Kayo piled up sufficient points to en- title him to verdict had tho law permitted. Palitz reached .AmcS head and body with a pstun-lilzC left that was singing. At no time dur ing the dozen stanzus was either boAcr in any danger. Anes left the ring with two badly damaged optics. There was not q mark on Palitz. except ;l slight fracture to those nice new silk trunks that he wore. The old stuff of lettering the trunks was used by D. P. Referee John Willis had a busy night in prying tlIc boxers apart. At times they clung together in Siarlese twin manner, with -Anes being the offender on most occasions.
 SWeeney-Dance Draw.
 Big Bill Sweeney failed to come through with a knockout over Mickey Dance, as his friends had hoped, but he succeeded with the assistance Of the boy with the terpsichorean non- icker, in furnishing the best bout of the night. Dance forced the milling in practically every round, but many of his blows went wild of the in tended mark. Tn the seventh round he req ached Sweeney's jaw with q solid smash that must have made the local lad count 'enl.' However, Sweeney used his head, and managed +o ,ie1, cfo Tn he c1r round, Sweeney went after Dance, and scored severa! times with hard ones to the head and body. Dance was the more experienced of the two, but Sweeney seemed to land the cleanest blows. Bill also showed lack of gen. eralship in not following up any ad- vantage that he had. He did prove however. as in the past, that he gives the public a good run for their money. Thc bont was 9. draw.
 O'Connor Beats Pcronc. "
 Terry O'COnnor. q greatly improved boy since his last appearance in this l city, had the best of {; siN-rOund en- l counter with Young Perone. Both ! lads hail from Hartford.
 The Laueh Producer.
 Two local 'kids.'' Young Ross and Kid Jerry, pranccd through the four round curtain raiser, provoking much . mirt1l by their antics. The boys were supplied with pillows" and little damage was inflicted. One of tho boys explained in the third round that ] he would certainly put the kayo across only for the gloves being too heavy. Kid Jerry appeared in the ring shoeless. He is the second 'ath- lete:' the writer has seen who per forms in this style. The other is w IaG GnI- IT1-cz czl- iS ,i, ;1o, between the two, viz, Zbyszko has q wealth Of weight. and Jerry. a like wise amount of hair, which troubled him not q little last night. If Jerry decides to continue in the fstic world. it might be q good stunt for him to add q barber to his retinue of hand lers
 Good Order Prevailed.
 The show was run off in a splendid manner by the promoters, Messrs Midgeon and Donahue. The crowd was well behaved, and there was little work for the police under Cap tain Thomas W. Grace, to perform. In the crowd was noticed two of the fair sex.
 During the evening it was an- nounced that Arthur A. Pilz. the well known sport romoter, is arranging for a three days amateur boxing tourney. to be hcfd in February.
 The crowd gave "Honest John'' Willis a warm greeting when he en- tered the ring to Eefcree the bouts. Through some misunderstanding the name Of John Willis was not listed on the cards for the place. His work last night was of high class order. Hugh RortN of Hartford, with his usual line of humor acted lS an nouncer. and Eugene J. Clerkin. time keeper.
