Several hundred boxing fans from
New Britain attended the Kaplan-
Herman mill at Meriden last night.
After watching the manner in
which the bouts were run Off and the
way the crowd behaved, there can be
no great kick against allowing boxing
in state armories particularly at
Meriden.
Some of the writer's at the ringside
last night were evidently not en-
Unused by the showing made by the
star bout performers at times.

/ CiSioD in Meriden Bout

Louis, kid" Kaplan OF Meriden
was awarded the decision over "Rabc"
Herman of California at the end of n
1s-round bout last night at the state
armory in Meriden. When Referee
,McAuliffe raised the hand of Kaplan
there was loud cheer from the
kids adherents. As Tar as the de-
clson goes IL was all right the Meri-
den boy winning the bout due to his
hurricane attack in the last four
rounds of the battle. At the close OF
thte mill the referee said that Kaplan
had six rounds and that Herman won
only one
The Californian failed TO show up
to the form expected by his admirers.
This gives rise TO the belief that he
was not trying 10 do much other than
secure the third and deciding bout
with the Silver City idol
Herman Good at Times.
Herman, at times, showed that liz
is stiff puncher, particularly with
his right mitt. He assimilated much
punishment and in the last three
rounds his face and the top part of
his body was bathed in crimson. due
his right eye Kapan did not have
mark on him.
In the first round Herman went
down and while on one knee he was
clouted twice on the head by his adj
Nersary. At the end of the ninth
round. the boys continued TO bang
away in great style, neither hearing
the bell, and it required the efforts OF
Referee McAuliffe to pry them apart
Several times during the min the
referee went to Herman's corner and
spoke to him.
Cooncy Is Beaten.
In the semi-final boy named Will
lie Davis from Elizabeth. n. j., who
has a jaw like Mike Gibbons and
whose hair is cut in Jim Corbett
fashion won the award over Jimmy
Cooney of Holyoke, Mass. The crowd
ragged Cooney plenty because OF his
tactics. Davis, who is somewhat
awkward. tried hard to make a good
battle out of it, and his efforts to
please won applause and the deci-
sion, which was not questioned.

stopped Soldier" Gibson of New
Haven in the third round. He nearly !
turned the trick in the second round,
when he sent Gibson to the canvas
The referee was in the act of count

Gibson's jaw in the third round, and |
he was just heading toward the floor
the towel came flying into the ring, !
and a very one sided affair was ter

edge on his opponent
