.SLASH|NG BOUTS
 SEEN AT ARM0RY
Four KnOckouts Feature Best
 Card Of Season Last Night

u thrown from thu ring by Referee Joe
 Wurst of New Haven and four
 knockouts furnished the entertain
 ment for the largest house to attend the amateur fights conducted by the
 Mohawk A. ~, at the state armory iop Arch street last night. The card,
 despite the disappointment furnished in the Howard-Getz bout, was the
 best that has been put on here.
 The sensation of the night was the meeting between Paul Terzo of Hart
 ford and Bill katzmart, also of Hart
 ford. Both these boys entered the
 ring 10 furnish one of the most ex- citing slugging matches ever seen either in the amateur or the pro-
 fessional ranks. Both possessed of
 sledge hammer blows, both kissed
 the canvas a number of times be-
 fore Terzo, in the second round,
 landed pile driving left over Katz-
 mart's heart which paved the way
 for knockout which followed a few
 moments later.
 Terzo, two weeks ago. made his
 Initial appearance in the ring against
 q Springfield boy and at the tap of
 the first gong, he landed hard
 punch 10 Ahe Springfeld's mid sec tion and put him down. The punch Ibroke two ribs. Last night, Katz- mart who was favored 10 win over Terzo by q knocko out, started out with destroying right and sent Ter
 70 to the floor three times in the
 first round. Terzo came back before the round had ended and caught
 kitzmart on the jaw and the big boy
 went down.
 In the second round, Terzo went
 after his opponent like a demon. It
 was wild pandemonium both in and outside the ring until with last
 effort and everything behind 1t, Ter
 70 landed flush on katzmarts jaw
 and the fight was over.
 Another bout that proved a sensa- | ton was the initial appearance Of Johnny Rose of this city against ! Mike Williams of East Hartford. Rose won by a technical knockout in the third round. Without any ring science an' risking disqualified ton because of a backhand blow, Rose showed that with training and the right kind of teaching, he will travel q long way before he is through. Last Light he displayed lsleep producer in each hand and had he known just how to send them in, the East Hartford lad would have been done for in the first round
 Al Fish. matched against an older land stronger battler in Joe Gincd | of Hartford, was knocked out in the 1 second round. Fish was leading by | . wide margin on points when the | end suddenly came. It was a mis- take for the local boy to wait for . his opponent because the older fel- low had hard punch and when he : sent I in, it meant .'fnis." Fish ! has nice left hand and when he 1 used it, Gined was powerless to do | anything. Continuous use of this was winning the fight for Fish, but the knock out turned the tables.
 Fish is being trained by Val Flood, dow club, and in the days gone by. one of the greatest opponents of the art. Val thinks he has a conner in the oungster and it may be that the knockout last night will do him n ore good than string of [ victories.
 Bait Battalino of Hartford, state featherweight champion. had game colored boy, Eddie DeMar of New Haven against him. but the Hartford fighting machine had things all his own way. The New Haven boy stood up under terrific during the first round and in the second, Battalno sent him onto the ropes, dead to the world.
 Ray Hall of Hartford. met his match in Jimmy Moe of New Haven another colored boy and lost the decision in four rounds. Hall could not get going while Moe showed 6 lot of stuff.
 The 1iasco between Ed Getz of Hartford and Joe Howard, state champion. came in the first round when GetZ hit the canvas without being hit. He made | good attempt to look "goofy" when he got up, but Referee Joe Wurst sent both to their corners and waved Getz out of the ring The prize offered for the losing partici- pant in the bout was held up by the A. A. L. commission. Getz was q substitute for another colored fight sr from New Haven who sent in word that he had been injured in Tn automobile accident.
