Sluggng Match Ends Abruptly After One Minute and Forty Seconds--Joe Howard Gets Decision Over Much Heavier Opponent = Southngton Boy in First Fight Disqualified For Hitting After Man Was Down-Promoters to Stage Another Card.

Ray Hall, in one Of the most eI- citing and sensational slugging matches seen in any ring in this vi- cinity for some years, knocked out Paul Terzo in what proved to be the feature bout of the amateur tour nament conducted by the Mohawk A. c. under the supervision of the A. A. U. at the state armory on Arch street last night. Joe Howard, state middleweight champion, weighing 175 pounds, fought as a heavy weight against Al Schooner of East Hampton, and received the decision in four rounds.
 Two bouts on the card were term mated in short order by Referee Frank Portell Of Hartford. John Mo- Donald of Hartford, fighting Peter Andrews of New Britain, a colored boy. was knocked down and re- mained for the count of 10. He jumped up claiming that he didn't hear the count, but Referee Portell declared Andrews the winner. Frank Broderick Of Southington. fighting his first fight in public, was disqual- tfled in the third round when he was leading by a wide margin over Art Pollowitzer of Hartford, for hitting while his opponent was down. Ref cree Portell was ''razzed" by the crowd for his actions. but he was perfectly right according to the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union. The entire card was productive of good bouts and record crowd viewed them.
 The Hall-Terzo bout was the sen sation Of the tournament. The two have been knocking out their oppon- ents in regular order and it was in evitable that they would meet. They both started in to whale away at each other, got taste of what the other fellow had and then spared around for about half a minute. Terzo looked like Luis Angel Firpo, the not-so- wild Bull f-the- Pampas, with his swarthy features and glow ering look. Hall was lily white in the perfectness of his condition.
 After circling around for few seconds, they clashed In the center of the ring. Hall took a right on the chin and partially slipped and was partially knocked down. When he arose, it was with fire Tn his eyes and he tore into Terzo with the ferocity of tiger. They slugged away until IJo1 oI n'c button and he went down.
 He took a count of eight and arose dizzily to his feet He tore in again and Hall hit him four times on the chin and he went down again. This time he was more groggy and he got up at the count of three. Again Hall tore in and this time sent in rapid fire barrage of rights and lefts to the jaw. Terzo went down and was unable to get up before he was counted out. He got up himself and walked drunkenly to his corner.
 Howard had no appreciable edge on Schooner after the third round, and the bout was unanimously de- clared a draw by the officials. The fight went into the fourth round and after the bell, Howard was given the decision. Because of the fact that he hasn't had any oppo- sition on his two former appear ances in this city. the middleweight champion weighing 175 pounds last night, agreed to meet Schooner as heavyweights. Schooners weight was reported to be 190 pounds or over.
 Howard took a licking in the first round, but got the slant on his opponents style and in the second and third, outpointed him enough to even up the match.
 The fight went into the fourth round and Towards superior con- dltion told the story in this frame. There were no knockdowns in this battle. Howard received tremen dous ovation when he was declared the winner.
