GLADIATORS MEET IN KNUCKLE FIGHT
Battle Staged in Street Between
 Automobile Drivers
Tex Rickard may be getting $40

Tex Rickard may be getting $40 a ticket for the comlng Tunney- Dempsey scrap in Chicago next month. but there are about IS New Britain people who were treated yesterday afternoon about ? o'clock to as lively fistic engagement as has been seen in this city in some time.
 The two contestants, names un- known, were the drivers of two au- tomobiles. One was behind the wheel of a laundry truck and the other was piloting a touring car.
 No well-built ring satisfied these gladiators and no referee was pres ent to judge their blows. foul or fair. They just fought, and from all accounts, they fought just for the love of fighting.
 Onlookers who were present when the argument which developed into a fist fight, started. could give no reasons or cause for the battle. The laundry truck was proceeding south on Elm street and had reached the corner of Elm street and Franklin Square when the driver became en- gagged in an altercation with the other driver whose car was proceed ing along Park street.
 Hot words were used and so ve- hement were the expressions that one got out of his car and the other followed. They took no time out. not even the few minutes it would have taken 10 park their cars at the curb, but approached each other like game cocks.
 As they met in the center of the street with the trolley tracks form ing a small. enclosed battle ground the vitriolic words ceased and fists began to fly.
 What caused 1t all Is mystery but the spectators enjoyed a five minute scuffle as only a fight Of its kind can be enjoyed. Not much damage was done by either com batant but unofficial judges gave the palm of victory to the touring car driver.
