Evidence of the condition in which he was was given by the fact that for 10 minutes after the fight was finished he didn't know where he was and when he did finally come to. he wouldn't believe that he had lost the fight by a knockout.

The decision in the sami-finsl bout was as rank as any could pos sibly be, We thought. There wasn't any question as 10 the merits of the fight. Neither boxer had any margin over the other aid if there was to be a decision. it apeared as if 1t should have gone to Tender. The bout, in our opinion, was a perfect draw.

Louis (KidD Kaplan of Meriden left no doubt in anyone's mind as to his superiority over Bobby Garcia in the featherweight title fight in Hartford last night. Starting from the first round kaplan was after the Mexican at al ltimes though there vas little opportunity to do any fighting in the tirst six rounds.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-29

It was merciful act that prompt ed Referee Young McAuliffe to push Garcia away in that tenth round and raise kaplan's hand in token of victory. Garcia was bleeding from the mouth and nose and his left eye had been split open. His face was a mass Of bruises and cuts and his body was welted all over. His legs were so weak that he was unable to continue and it was all he could do 10 stand.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-29

A funny occurrence took place in one of the early runds when Kaplan and Garcia broke from a clinch and Kaplan made a swing to Garcia's stomach, missed and caught the referee where the blow was meant for Garcia. There was so much steam behind the punch that Kaplan almost tioored the arbiter. Young McAuliffe who used to be a top notch lightweight, through instinct alone, threw up his dukes but quickly regained his composure and at Kaplan's apology, he smiled and motioned him to continue.

The explanation for this is given as the prices asked. Eleven dollars is high for these parts where with q S7 top price, Mulligan before made money in Waterbury. It seems to be too bad that the Waterbury pro- moter has met with such a reverse in this fight card which was tbc best seen around here in years, be- cause there is no other promoter in the state who would be willing 10 risk what George Muligan did to put last nights entertainment across.

The crowd which attended the fight was surprisingly small for a bout of the caliber of that of last night.

Mr.. Stull outlined activities under

criticism by individuals who. he said,
we're least fitted to act as critics. al
though he invited constructive

carnestness of the superintendent of

Resolutions were adopted by the
association opposing the community

EXECUTION ODDS 11O-1.
Survey Shows Deliberate Murderer
Has Big Chance to Escape.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April % R).-The
chances of a slayer being executed in
America for a deliberate murder are
only | in 10, according to figures
compiled by Judge Marcus kavanagh
of Chicago
A survey just completed by the
Judge shows marked contrast in the
crime records of America and Eng
land, where a murderer has almost no
chance of escaping the death penalty.
Less than 100 murders were commit
ted in England and Wales in 1921,
while there were 10000 in America.
One of the reasons for the amazing
difference" in the records for America
and Europe is the difference in public
attitude toward laws, Judge Kavanagh
believes.
