 It was the lil' ol left hook that finished Sullivan. Caught right in bis own corner as he dragged him self out. the Meriden demon met him with a blow that sent him back.

 Tracy Ferguson, Of Northford left his farm to box Sheik Leonard of Wallingford, in the semi-final bout of six rounds. The decision was a draw-due to late rally sy Fergu- son. We credited Fergy with the rounds of even numbers and Leon, ard with the odd. Leonard looked much better than in his previous showing against the Northford agri- culturist and punched hard and aft ener. Ferey also landed few that hurt the borough sheik and things ended even allaround.
 Al Matera, of Bristol, went on the defensive but pasted Philly Clark, of Waterbury. in one of the semi final affairs. Clark refused to follow up his advantages ard lost the de- cision through this neglect. Eddie Lord, of Waterbury, and Laurie Rich, of New Haven, travelled through six fast stanzas to a draw while Rocca segretta, of Bristol went down and out in the first round to the tune of Frankie O'Brien's two hands. Segretta did not last any time and was floored for the count of six in the first half minute. He went down again for the count of seven and was saved by his second who crawled into the ring as the referee was counting.
