 Fight fans who attended the anna teur tournament at the state ar1nory on Arch street last night, came away well satisfied that the bout "hich was featured as the sensauon ol the year in amateur ranks. had nv od rn "a all that was said about It.
 The Hall-Terzo battle lasted oriy one minute and forty seconds ana Terzo was knocked out, but lh tnaV short space of time, there was n,enty of action even for the most rabid fan.
 Last nights tournament resulted in two unpleasant situations III which Referee Frank Portell. hlih- sel' one of the most clever proles- sional fighters in this section. was subjected to insults from the iahs' some of them of an unmentlonaoie character.
 The first occasion arose Tn tIe srst bout between Peter Andrews or New Britain and John McDonald ol Hartford. Mcdonald was knocked down by a clean blow in the hrs1 and appeared to be out. lie sat up at the count of six and waited uhlii inc count of 10 before he jumped un He was down for the full count and Referee Portell declared All drews the winner and rlghty 3D. The fans howled to let the bout go n, hut had Referee Portell acceedeu to the yelling requests, he Wou,u have been barred from ever oHlc'al- ing at an amateur bout agalh.
 Tha second came when frahh Frederick, a Southington boy. ap- nearing in his first bout in punlc' lost his head in the third round. He knocked Art Pollowitzer thra h the ropes and pummeled away al the Hartford boy as he was down. Referee Portell disqualified him and awarded the bout to PolloTltzer. IL was unfortunate that this had to happen but the racuous shouts ol the fans heaped epithets on the rel eree's head. Events like these are what are liable to stop amateur hght tournaments in this state.
 When a crowd of fans pay 50 or a cents to watch 10 bouts, all or which are better than most Of the professional fights for which admis- sion of several dollars is charged and then, when a referee follows out the rules as laid down by the Anna teur Athletic Union as Portell did last night, 1t doesn't seem falr 10 the referee to make him the target for nasty expressions.
 The National Guards are all set to tackle the Brooklyn A. C. fVe of Waterbury at the state arnory on Arch street tonight. The Water bury team comes here flushed with 2 victory over the Alpines of Bridge port last Su day, and reports from the Brass City tell us that the team expects to win. It will be a pretty battle. e1
 Jack Delaney made short work of Jamaica Kid last night in Water bury. Those from this city who at tended the bout came away again with the feeling that Delaney is the most graceful artist the ring has ever seen.
 The fight was short and it was all Delaney. The knockout came after Jamaica Kid had hit the floor six times.

 This fight Is attracting the largest crowd of any fight excepting cham piOnShip meeting. iulultdo o' Swedish people from this city are planning to see their countryman Tn action, while the Irish are turning out strong for Mccarthy.
