Battling on the slam bang order again pleased the big crowd of fans and the enthusiasm displayed is an indication that the the pro-shows a big run for popu- Iarity in the future. Four knockouts were put in the records.
 One of ihe best offerings of the evening was furnished by Kid Pedro co. Pedraenz) of Stamford and NICK Younak of New Haven. Opening their battle at a furious gate both of the principals scored knockd owns in the first session. In the second the New Haven boy, who had a vic iosu side-wheel wallop, foored Pedro with a. right to the jaw, but the Stamfordite was game. came back and assumed the aggressive. Younak gong sounded. The third round was nip and tuck and honors even. Pedro was declared the winner amid a shower of misses. ~ Another round would have probably settled the issue between the boys.
 F1oored Four Times; Wins.
 H. Gadenbrook proved himself game to the core when he knocked out Jack Nelson in the first round after being sent to the floor -four times. Both lads uncorked punches of the lightning variety, it being a give and take affair until the middle of the session when Gadenbrook put Nelson to sleep with hurricane wallop against the breadbasket of the Acorn A. C. boy.
 Joe Smith kayoed Emil Salbol in the fourth round after three sessions of gruelling milling. Sabol showed pIen- ty of gameness, but he was unable to weather the game of blows stormed on him by Smith. In the first Sabol was f1oored fer eight seconds and was staggering when the bell rang. It was Smith by a, shade in the second, while in the third Smith had Sabol against the ropes most of the time. The judges disagreed and an extra round ordered. Blows to the face and stom- ach put Sabol out of the running.

Bridgeport women are becoming just as enthusiastic over the box ing game as the men folk. Last evening there was another big representation of the feminine sex in attendance at the amateur boxing show at the Casino, and there was also a good Sprinkling at the Remington show, last Fri day night.
