three feet high, is painted, Municipal Bat

.BELGIAN CHAMPION
 ON BR|TTON'S TRAIL
Peter Hoban Reaches America
 and Announces His Intentions

New York. March 2l, From across tstic champion seeking new fields 10 conquer.
 Pete Hobin is the latest arrival. He lays claim 10 the Uelterweight title of Europe.
 Hobin is a Belgian. His home is at Antwerp. He is 28 years old, weighs l46 pounds when not in training and Is only five feet five inches tail.
 The European titleholder is un- occasionally the shortest welter weight in the world.
 However, what he lacks in height he makes up in breadth. He is on the type of Bob Moha, who in the old days was known as the "cave man" of the middleweight division.
 Like Georges Carpenter, Hobin was an aviator in the late unpleas- antness with Germany. He wore the colors of his native land. Belgium.
 Hobn comes to this country un- heralded. Georges Carpenter was wildly received. made the hero of the hour, and carried with him the well HlSheS or many dH Aiieii''h IT i'P fight with Dempsey.
 Unlike Carpenter, Hobin has slipped into our fair country almost unknown. However. he may meet with much better success than The much touted Georges
 Hobn has taken part In 36 bouts during his ring career. He has never been knocked out. on hve occasions he has lost the decision. In turn he has kayoed 47 of his oppo- nents.
 Hobin comes to this country 10 seek bout with Jack Britton. He IS modest in his claims and feels that before camping on the trail ot brlt- ton he should prove to the American public that he is a worthwhile con tender.
 If Hobin makes good it is his in tention to remain in this country ana become an American citizen.
 Hobin has one thought on boXlng that is sure to make a hit in this country.
 He never lets his opponent stay 1T he can put him away That ac- counts for half of his bouts ending in knockouts.

OLD KING BOXING
 GETS HEAVY JOLT
FiaSCo Star Bout and WretChed Relereeing Mars Meriden Card

Boxing fans from this and other cities in the state. were treated to n horrible exhibition last night at Meri- den The main bout was bad enough, but the work of the referee was even worse. Kid" kaplan the cyclonic boxer had an easy time with Artie Rose. billed as the champion of Cuba, who was knocked out in two rounds. II was very uneven match. The so- called Cuban title holder was never in the running. In the first round he assimiliated plenty Of punishment, and this was continued in the second round, When the bell tolled the end of the second stanza, Rose was on the floor being counted out. Before being permitted 10 take any further punish ment the towel was tossed into the ring at the opening of the third round, and everybody was satisfied that a wise thing had been done.
 Some Referee is Glcnnon
 II was in the semi final bount. that "Referee" Glennon gave decision that was greeted with boos and cat calls. The bout was between Tracy Ferguson of Wallingford which is near Meriden and Frankie Quill of Brockton, Mass. The Bay Stater to many appeared to have all the best Of the affair, and the out town fans expected that the worst of it was coming to him anyhow. but never for d moment did they expect that Fer guson's hand would be raised as token of victory but this is what hap pened. It is getting to be generally accepted that the home boys will get all the best of it. but such de- cision as that last night is only in turing the boxing game in Connecu- cut. It would seem as though, if no better referees than some of those who are working under a Connecticut license at present can be secured, It would be good thing for the sport to open the gates. and invite com petent men from other states to handle tho sport in Connecticut.
 Mir. GIcnnOn's First Bout.
 In the preliminary bout. Martie Mil Ter of Waterbury was disqualified by Glennon, after he had dropped to the floor in the bout with Georgie Lynch of Meriden. While the going was a little rocky for the Brass City boy at the time, he did not appear to be in any distress, and there is reason to believe that he could have con- tinued the bout for while ger, and thereby satisfied most of fans Glennon was treated to his first bap- tism of criticism of the evening after rendering that decision.

Boston. March 21.-Benny Leonard, worlds lightweight champion, boxed ten rounds in an exhibition contest with Johnny Clinton. New England lightweight title holder, here last night. No decision was given.

 In no other round did he land moro than three punches, and in three rounds he failed to strike a clean blow Leonard showed New England boxing fans his bag of exhibition boxing tricks without being called on for any of the finesse for which in de- cision fighting he has become known.

Brillheart toyed with the sctond.feam aggregation, striking out six Tn his four innings and allowing only pair of hits.
