Hartford Battler Continues to
Knock Over Amateur Opponents

Waterbury had a shade the better
of the amateur boxing carnival held
last evening at the state armory on
Arch street when battlers represent
Ing the Franco-American club OF
the Brass City met an army OF pugi-
lists from Holyoke in the squared
arena. Five knockouts were record
ed In nine bouts, one boxer was dis
qualified after he had claimed foul
and one OF the bouts went the limit
of four rounds.
Waterbury sent into New Britain
last night, as classy an array OF bat
tiers as has been seen from any one
city in this state or in Massachusetts,
on any local simon pure card. Three
brothers appeared one after the
other. to be followed by another pair
of brothers and these all gave good
accounts OF themselves.
AS was expected. Paul Terzo OF
Hartford furnished the thrills for the
entire evening. Terzo, the Pop En-
Paul. of the amateur ranks, met
rough. tough scrapper in William
Kelly OF Waterbury, but although
the Brass City boy had Terzo almost
gone near the end Of the first round,
he took a sleep powder in the second
and was out on his feet His seconds
tossed in a towel mercifully bringing
to n end a slaughter that was doing
no one any good.
Two New Britain boys who went
in on the card last night both lost
through the knockout route. Johnny
Rose was counted out in the third
round after taking a neat boxing les
son from Pat Shea OF Hartford. Shea
was far ahead of the local boy in
both style and punching power.
Rose, whose first appearance in the
ring resulted in him winning by a
knockout, looked poorly against the
Hartford battler last night. but still
gives promise of being a good boy II
someone gets ahold of him and
teaches him the rudiments Of the
game.
Joe Cody, making his debut be-
fore his home town fans, lost a de-
cision to Johnny Mastro of Hartford
after taking a drubbing for three
rounds. Cody showed his ineXperi-
ence by ducking into the swings Of
his opponent but with a little head
work. his form tends to show that he
has the markings"
