 Roche--ROgers Gets Kayo

Garkin (Wop) Manolian, d New Britain product who now has out grown the home town and claims Boston as his residence, flashed into Connecticut pugilistic prominence last night at the Foot Guard hall in Hart ford when he received Referee Youns McAuliffe's decision over Young Leonard, the sheik of Wallingford, after eight rounds of ferocious mill ing.
 Manolian started the battle at a whirlwind pace and for the first three or four rounds daZzed the sleek young Wallingford boy, with series of rights and lefts to the head. Man olian's footwork also was clever. At the battle wore on, however, Leonard began to solve his opponents attack and in the latter part of the fight he carried the battle to the eH-New Brit anite, pecking away at his nose and jaw and mixing in. some wallops 10 the wind that hurt.
 A majority in the hall expected a draw would be the verdict and the de- cision giving the fight to Manolian was hissed and booed loudly.
 Doubtless these two boys will be matched for a return bout and good fight is assured as both are fast and are willing to take in order to give. This bout was the heaviest hitting af- fair of the whole card last night.

After further sparrinG and after Rogers had battered Hymns nose some more there was a rapid mixup near tho ropes and down wont Rogers Tor the count. To many, the fall looked phoncy and there were some who thought the Silver City bat tier had purposely taken nose dive II was explained by Hartford sports however, that F'lynn's sole asset Is n hone crushing right and it was this travelling only few inches, that caught Stanley flush on the button.
