ANDY CHANEY HITS
 MICHAELS AT WILL
Baltimore FeatherWeight Hands New Yorker a Terrific Beating

A crowd that taxed the capacity of the Auditorium at Hartford last night witnessed a fine boxing exhibition under the auspices of the Hanover A. C.. It was the first event of its kind that the club has managed. 1t proved a success in every respect. Had there been a little more ventilation provid- cd for when the hall was built, the fans would not have sweltered as they did from the heat last night. The star bout. a 12-round affair, brought Young Andy Chaney the Baltimore, Md, aspirant for Johnny Kilbane's crown and Bobby Michaels. a vest pocket edition of the famous Joe Grimm, when it comes to taking pun ishment. During the entire 12 rounds the New Yorker was on the receiving end of everything that Eddie Meades protegc could serve, Michaels took it in great shape, and there are many today who are wondering just what the lanky Michaels is made of to stand the gaff in the manner he did. Chaney worked at top speed through out the mill. He started right after his rival in the opening round, and it looked as though the mill might be a short affair. There were many in the hall who were of that opinion judging from remarks heard around the ringside. As the bout proceeded Michaels proved he is a bear for as- similating punishment. Several times after Chaney had clouted him around the ring, Michaels would cause thrill by walloping Chaney with that ever dangerous left sock of his. In the fourth round the New Yorker seemed dazed at the bell. He walked to a corner across the ring from where his seconds were waiting to receive him. In the closing round Michaels hoped around the ring in just as fresh a manner as in the first. 1t was easily Chaney's bout but the crowd gave Michaels an ovation as he left the ring.
 A Technical kayo.
 The only bout of the night that terminated before the final round, was the mill between Irish Jimmy Dwyer and Johnny Winters, both of New York. After Winters had stood considerable of a pasting for several rounds, Referee Dave Fitzgerald stop ped the battle in the eighth round. The bout failed to impress the fans or the referee for the first four rounds.
 Referee Fitzgerald gave both boys a warning as they sat in their corners at the close of the fourth round. When they started the fifth round, there was a decided improvement in their work. I Dwyer began to reach Winters, head and stomach with the hardest he had, which resulted disastrously for the latter. Had Dwyer been the possessor of a punch with kick behind it the bout would have undoubtedly ended in the fifth round when Winters com menced to get wabbly on his pins. The defeated boy gave great exhibi- tion of gameness. Dwyer again proved that he is a shifty two handed boxer, who also has n good head.
 The PIeIims.
 In the preliminaries Irish Willie Green easily outpotnted Young Mack of Hartford. The Capitol City boy did the forcing, but took a bad wal lowing about the head as a result. Green used a left smash with effect, although it did not seem to carry any great amount of steam. In the cur tain raiser Georgie Burns outpointed Marty Silver in a six-rounder.
 Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven refereed the bouts. As is customary, the work of the official was high class. After watching Dave Fitzgerald in the ring one can easily realize just how bad some of the referees essaying to fill the bill in these parts are.
