C.. bristled with action from tho start to the finish and the card of bouts was one of the best seen here this year. Hamilton, however, by his own admission, met one of the IAmest fighters he has ever en- countered in his career in Ray Fay Tor of Terryville. Hamilton's speed, punching power and his cleverness, were too much for the blond -thatch- sd scrapper from the sticks" but despite two knockdowns. one in the hrst and one in the second round, Taylor was on his feet fighting away at the bell.
 Hamilton is a wicked punisher and . hard puncher. He puts his body behind every swing and he wastes net . punch in his efforts to send hb opponent to the land of dreams. He was billed as . great lightweight and 1t can safely be said that he was among tho best fighters ever seon In action in the amateur tour Aamsnts conducted in this city.

Gamely he got to his feet. but hs was badly hurt. In the third round, he went down several times from weakness but he got up each time and stood up under terrific pun ishmcnt until the end. Hart was examined after the fight but no ser ious results were found.

 Many of the fans were of the opinion that Art Nadeau of Phila- delphia had defeated Frank Colom- bo of Windsor Locks in three rounds in their meeting in the 139 pound class but a disagreement among the judges rendered the bout draw.
