MAIN WENTWORTH
BOUT PROVES FIASCO

Another fiasco resulted in the main
event of the boxing show at Heine
Miller's Kenilworth arena last night,
which brought together Young Mon

Brandon, New York, bantamweights.
Neither boy, to all appearances. had
any real intention of actually fighting
Montreal kept light left jab working
on Brandon's face, but that was all.
1t was not even a good gym workout
and the crowd began leaving the
arena Immediately after the first
round.
The agony lasted for five rounds,
when Referee Charlie Short announced
that unless the fighters actually
fought he would stop the fight. In
stead of acting as an incentive to mix
things, 1t proved just the reverse.

too great a handicap.

first round and the latter was awarded
the fight on a foul. They are colored

The crawl stroke originated

1t is the simplest. easiest and most

GOVERNORS COMMITTEE
 MAKES FINAL REPORT

The committee appointed by Cover nor Trumbull, consisting of ex-Gov- ernor Marcus H. Holeomb and Nor gan G. Brainard republicans, and Charles C. Morris, democrat, to in- vestigate the state treasurer's office during the regime of G. Harold Gill patrie, former state treasurer and cashier of the Putnam National bank, made its report, Wednesday. The committee finds that S230, ,Oo0 of bank funds was used to buy bonds for the state but that the transaction was "only a restoration of property previ- ously appropriated That is, the committee explains. Gilpstrie sppro- priated state money as cashier of the bank and later on took an equal amount of the banks money to make the state whole.
 "We found nothing to criticise in respect to any transaction between the treasurer of Connecticut and any agency other than the First National bank of Putnam" said the report of Scovell.

He is secretary of the school board. a member of the state board of education, is corporation council for the city of Putnam. has served in the general assembly. has been tax collector and has held other public offices.
 While all of these honors denote the ability of the man perhaps that which most fits him for his new off ce is the fact that for many years he personally conducted law class and tutored candidates for admission to the bar. Just how many young men MT Torrey has prepared for the bar ex- aminations he himself does not know At least twelve or fifteen members of the bar owe their positions to Mir. Torrey. The fact that no young man who studied under him. or with him, has failed to pass the state bar ex- aminations of Connecticut, or other states. and some have gone far in their profession. denotes the thorough ness of his teaching of the law.
