'B0rtfeLd Licked Before He
 Entered Ring"- "-EEida BedeU

The interesting thing about a prize fight-or boxing match, as we are obliged to call it-is that even though every one is the same. yet every one is different-if you get what I mean. :.
 Always there is the squared circle of canvas; always two males fighting each other to determine the better man; always the soft-footed, but eX- tremely active referee. whose efforts, while he works, would make the shame.
 And yet, every bout is different There is the ever-present and ex- tremely delightful feeling of uncer- tainty as to what each man is going to do next: and always-yOu are sup posed to roll this lovingly around your tonsue-there is always the pos EibiHty of a knock-out-the peak of enjoyment to a seasoned fight fan.
 A boxing match is like a good meal. First, there is the soup. You may not care very much about soup-per- haps you'd prefer not to have it, but soup is good for your soul incidental ly for your stomach-and the first preliminary is your soup-
 Then comes anOther-thats the meat and potato. Usually two good boys. from whom much is expected furnish the fan with sustenance, and get up his appetite for the rest of his meal
 The Appetizing Salad.
 Then the salad. Two lively fighters furnish that enjoyable part of the dinner And it IS enjoyable. for the salad boys keep things humming. But always in the mind of the spectators is the dessert, the creme de la creme of all!
 Last nights entertainment, present. ed by the Bridgeport A. SS A, was no exception to the rule
 A huge crowd packed the Open-aIr Arena on State street, and though the dessert was made out of salt rather than sugar, the mob was grac- ious about it, and took their disap- pointraent like men.
 The writer got in at the finish of the first bout, between Jim Bones and Young Roach. two lightweights with sparring tactics that would have put Barnum's famous fighting kanga- roo to shame. But the crowd was good-natured, and while the bout was marked by an absence of blood, for which the fan craveS, it was sufticI- entIy lively to keep up the spirits.
 The next bout was between Pete Dunn and Ted Coy of Stratford, sub stituting for Francis J. Brennan, who had left the city. These were two rangy welter weight blondes, and the eight rounds were marked by vicious swings and sharp jabS that were heard back to the bleachers. This bout was marked by the loss of three teeth be- longing to MT. Coy, but there was little sympathy expressed by the on- lockers.
 "Aw. that's nuthin'!'' said one. They're only false ones anyway. And Uncle sam put 'em in for nuth- in, so he should worry"
 Gore Not Lacking.
 This bout was enjoyed because it was Gory. Both boys were bleeding from mouth smScks. and the fighting was fast and furious.
 Keep your left going, Stratford!"
 'Jab him up, Pete!" were some of

the illuminating bits of conversation contributed by the audience.
 Outside of that the only conversa- cion was furnished by Terry Lee, the referee, who did an incessant mono log of Break away, now" and Come you will see surprise at a sudden jab, the way, is losing his girlish figure. In short, he is getting fat, but he's as light on his feet as ever.
 Another moI- or less astonishing thing about a boxing exhibition is the rarity with which pain is shown on the fighters faces. Occasionally you will SC surprise at a sudden jab, but usually the face is stoical, set in hard and unyielding lines. It is con sidered bad form to show pain, even though it may be felt.
 A bout that was short but exceed ingly sweet was that between Steady Steadman and ''Bud'' Weaf- CT This was spite" fight, a return for the last big fight. in which Bud knocked out Steady in three rounds. Those who looked for Steady to "come back last night were woefully disappointed for Bud the fireman, had him going from the first and in the fourth round finished him. While Steadman wasn't actu- ally knocked out, one more second would have closed the stanza. for Buds right to the jaw were full of what runs his engine.
 Didn't Look Like Plugs
 Both these boys were tall and beautifully built With but little stretch of the imagination they could be considered university athletes making a little money to put them through college. There was nothing of the professional pug" look about them.
 BustIe and a feeling of tenseness usher in the last DOut-THE. fight of the evening between our own Louie Bogash and Soldier Bartfield of Brooklyn. The crowd settles back to get the most out of this one, while Dan Mcketrick, we'll known New gloves and bandages, and Joe Smith looks after Louie with great enjoy ment in his labor of love.
 The scrap is on- Louise fights like a tiger, though not formed like one, for he is stOcky and muscular, his shoulders almost too heavy for his lack of height Bartfield is loosely built and Louie'S blows make him appointed for Boxing Commissioners at the ringside close the bout rather spectacularly in the fourth round with Bartfields left arm hanging loosely t'cover up from LOuie's vicious lunges.
 I may be wrong, but to me the BOgaSh- -Bartfield bout was a decisive victory for the Bridgeport boy. Bart field knew he was licked before he entered the ring, and his reception of Louie's many and varied slams-if that is the proper word-was not rel ished. BartfieId wanted it to end quickly, so far as was concerned, and it did, but not the way the fans want ed it to-
 There's a lot O. >>-.I at prize fight. It's primitive. Two n.en or boys are evenly matched and it's ''may the best man win". which usually hap pens.
 It's the game that made the Mar uuis of Queenberry famous, so why SHOULDN'T we like it?-
