Last night, Johnny was matched with boy who, 1t was predicted, was out to win. Jim Bernardo, the Hartford battler had appeared in South Manchester Tuesday evening against Barney Youseman of Hart ford and had knocked the almost unhittable Youseman down four times In the first round.

One must remember in these anna teur tournaments that the boys ap- bearing in the bouts are not season. ed fighters and much care must be exercised in their conduct. Joe Wurst is a commissioner of the A. A. T.. and as such. is thoroughly conversant with the rules that gov
 ern the amateur fight tournaments.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

Any amateur fighter in his weight that can do this to Youseman, has a sock and can fight. Youseman Is far from being a champion, but he has solid pair of legs that hold nim up under terrific lombard ment.

Jimmy" Lavender, Holyoke twirl- CT, burned up the Connecticut league and was drafted by the Boston Ma tionals?
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

He failed to lower his hands to defend himself or to fight back. so Referee Wurst stopped the bout ana sent the fighters to their corners.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

He tried to continue. but then called to the referee that he could not see and the bout was stopped. Some of the crowd thought that Moe was protesting that the bout should not be stopped, but instead of this, he called out that he was blinded by his blood and evidently couldn't go on.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

In cases such as arose last night, some permanent damage might have been done 10 the boxers if the bouts had been allowed to go on and that would mean the finish of the spot in this state. In our opinion. Ref cree Wurst did the right thing in the bouts which he stopped.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

To our minds last night, the one feature that stood out above all the rest is the constant improvement be- ing shown by Johnny Clinch. who has succeeded his brother Jimmy, as the leading amateur fighter in this city.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-08

The force of the blow sent Der nardo clear across the ring and into the ropes. Clinch went into finish him but Bernardo was helpless and Referee Joe Wurst stopped the bout.

~Tn the nine years since the World

group within their fold, but there Is
no disposition on the part OF the
democrats to undertake a seizure OF

campaign session.
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio again
will be elected speaker OF the house
and will carry into office with him

the party in that body during the
last session.
