Spectacular Comeback.
 But, Weafer is a gamster. In the second round Pierce f1oored the Nor walk battler with a stiff chin tckler. Weafer sprawled on the floor in the corner where his manager, Bill Smith, was directing operations. Take nine,'' commanded Smith, and Weafer obeyed instructions
 Pierce's sock joIted Weafer. There was no mistake on that score, but "Bud,'' cheered on by his town folk came back in whirlwind style and be- fore the round was over, Pierce was subjected to a severe drubbfng-
 The, honoEs were even up in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds, burt Weafer appeared to have the best of fhe argument in the final sessions. Pierre was too crafty for the Norwalk battIcr.

Swede- Prince surprised his local admirers by the fast exhibition he put up and wiped out all rumors that he was going back. Prince never fought a better battle. He was care full, carried the fight to his opponent and was cool under attack.
 Peterson displayed a tendency to wrestle, but Princes terrific laces to the body of the Stamford man broke up the program. Prince used his left jab effectively. but Peterson showed a bulldog spirit and with stood the shower of blows like a game kid.
