ATTACK ON REFEREE |
in ELM CITY BOUT
Brother Of Chic Brown Angered
by McAuiffeS Decision

New Haven, Aug. IA. - Angelo
Amato, brother of Chic Brown of this
city again fought another of his
memorable battles without the sane
ton of the state fight commission
last night when he cut loose and
landed few of his blows on Young
McAuliffe of Bridgeport at the end
Of the Chic Brown-J ohnny shugrue
bout at the Weiss Park A. c.. outdoor
/ park. McAuliffe refereed the princi-
pal fight and awarded the decision to
shugrue. Amato angry at McAuliffe
jumped on the side of the ring and
started in another battle. The ret
cree promptly knocked Amato off the
staging and the police gave him the
= ash" to the gate. Amato is the
me one who jumped into the ring
turing the initial battle between
/ young Leonard of Wallingford and
Chic at Nutmeg A. C. opening this
| summer.
Discussing the fight, the one that
was advertised, Shugrue won from
the second to the fifth. The fifth,
sixth and seventh were even and
| Brown won the eighth, ninth and
tenth. Shugrue finished strong with
the eleventh and twelfth greatly to
his favor.
After getting acquainted in the
first round Brown and Shugrue went
after each Fother In proper style but
the Waterbury boy beat the Elm city
In II tn the
was a REPETITION but in the fifth Brown
was missing several times. In the
sixth Shugrue went to one knee but
was up in fash before the count
could be given.
In the ninth there was more ac-
ton. Brown landed one of his fam
Gus wild swings and Shugrue sudden
ly sat down. Brown got this round.
In the tenth Brown had Shugrue
bleeding and was a winner "by
mile" The last two rounds were Shu-
grue's rounds without doubt and
the Waterbury boy was "all over" his
opponent. In the last round Brown
attempted to take the aggressive side
but failed when shurgue beat him to
it and hammered him numerically.
Gives Marcel The Wave
Tracel Ferguson of Wallingford
meeting Young Marcel of Holyoke
III the semi-final bout an affair of
10 rounds, knocked his man out in
the fourth. What Ferguson didn't
do to Marcel isn't history for the
| Wallingford puncher showed a lot
and looked good to the fans in his
| engagement. Ferguson's blow landed
under the heart a few seconds before
the bell rang. Marcel went down
with dull and sickening thud and
had to be carried to his corner. The
referee seeing Marcels condition,
awarded the decision to Ferguson.
Willie Shugrue Wins Decision
Willie shugrue of Waterbury
Johnny's brother, met Steve Smith of
Bridgeport in the first preliminary
bout of six rounds There was more
or less of a diversion of opinion over
the decision in this bout and when
Shugrue was announced as the winner
fans showed their displeasure by
talking out loud. There was plenty
of action and Smith provided so much
trouble for Shugrue that his ~ad-
herents were disappointed and dis
pleased over the decision.
Vaudeville de Luxe
Dave Medar of New York won from
Kid Palmer of Derby by a laugh, in
the second preliminary bout. There
was comedy for all in this bout and
as Palmer was apparently not in the
best of condition, Medar had what
little work there was to do.
There were $500 paid admission
at the park.
