but Turner was cheered for his game stand.
 It was announced that the two bat tiers would meet again in the star bout at the next amateur show. Atherton Gets Another.
 Charley Atherton, pride of St. Joe's, found Red TuthiL. of Wa11ing- ford. a tough customer, but the local boy outboxed and outslugged the up stater in every round In the first session Atherton foored. Tuthil1 with his right. In the third Tuthiu took a good sapping and was sent to the canvas twice, but Atherton was un- able to land a kayo although he had his opponent planted several times for such a performance. The pair will doubtless be matched for the next show.
 Joisnny. .'Red' Allen, who was ref cree, stopped ehostiflties in the second round of 9 bout between Billy Kovack and Packey Tierney of New Haven. Tho latter outclassed him from the start and had him on the verge of a knockout at the time.
 Young Bannock of Wa1lingford and Joe Smith of Bridgeport, a. pair of welterweights, boxed four interesting rounds. The boys boxed the first three rounds evenly and an extra round was put on the judges again deciding a draw. Referee Allen gave it to the Wa1lingford boxer. Young Sinaaneri of Stamford was handed the decision over Joe King of Bridgeport ic the opening tilt, Simanelli winning hands down,

Mason was toppled over twice in the first, but showed gameHess ny sailing into the fray for further pull ishment in the second. After being foored twice the bout was stopped.
 The Other Big Noise.
 Joe Smith, manager of Louis Bo- gash, was firing off verbal fire crack CTS before the show started. He was making demands of $3,000 per bt1t for "Looey.' We must get the money said Joe over ana over again. All the sports appeared agreed that a battle between Bo- gash and Young Fisher, who recently knocked out Jack Delaney, would be corker of a drawing card. but the $3,000 guarantee and 30 per cent. privilege appeared to be outlandish. Unless Smith and Bogash take a dive in their figures and demands there's little chance of the proposed bout being staged by Paul Dietz.
 Smith Wins Over Turner
 Steve Smith added another win to his credit when he outpointed Johnny Turner of New Haven in a spirited three-round go. Smith waded into his opponent like a wild bear in the first round. but Turner proved himself to be a clever boxer and managed to stay through the session. Smith was tired at the enc.
 Smith continued his hurricane tao tics in the second but Turner fought him toe to toe. In the third Smith had slightly the best of the session.

Jack Reno Looks
 Like Ring Conner

Jack Reno, the "F1ghting Boot black" known to many folk who traverse Fairfield avenue past his bootshining stand daily, made his debut as a boxer last night, at the Casino. Reno displayed un- usual skill, hitting powers and other ring tactics, that caused many of the ringsiders to pick him as 8 conner.

 T,ayaIlee Gives Promise
 Tn view of the fact that every one of these players has flashed fine prOIn1SG all season It IS not surprising that they have been hauled in by the draft. Perhaps the most promising of the lot is Hank Lavallee. Any youngster who can break into the league and hit for 1920 his first year out is doing something not to be over looked. He is probaly two years 'taway' yet, but baseball men who watched him this season predict that he is a big league diamond in the rough.
