Referee In Battle With Jackie Paoli Of Waterbury
-Glickstein Pulls Fighters

In one OF the closest fights ever
seen in an amateur tournament
staged in this city. Johnny Clinch,
ace OF local amateur fighters. was
given hair-hne decision over Ray
Dolan OF Waterbury last night in the
final bout of the show staged by the
Stanley A. c. at the Stanley Arena.
Both boys were about at EVENLY
matched as two such lighters could
be and both scaled in exactly at l47
pounds.
The first and second rounds we're
Judged 10 be completely even but
Clinch came through in the third
canto to strike an edge over his OPP
ponent that carried the victory home
Tor him. Dolan and his handlers
we're anything but satisfied that
Chnch has Won the fight and it may
be possible that these two will be
re-matched in the near future.
The fight was elimination Of a
: card that was fair but none too good.
As a result of an alteration between
Matchmaker Paul Glickstein OF New
Haven and the promoters. Perlsteln
and Toretsky, Gllckstein's services
with the club have been terminated.
During the third last bout on the
card, Glickstein appeared in the cor
ner Of Mike Wallace, colored, OF
Meriden and while the first round
was in progress, he ordered Wallace
not to 90 out for the second round
of the bout because, he claimed,
perlstein was not paying him the
money agreed upon before the fight
started. The bell for the second
round sounded and Wallace refused
TO answer. The fight was then
awarded 10 Mike Sinko of this city
who received the worst of it in the
first s:anza.
After the excitement had died
down, the remaining two bouts were
staged but the occasion left a very
bad taste in the mouths CT the fairly
large sized gathering of fans at the
fights. An Investigation INTO the
matter disclosed that Glickstein had
made an exorbitant demand upon
Perlstcin and the promoter refused
to pay the sum. 1t had been agreed
that the matchmaker would furnish
a list OF fighters for a certain sum
and Glickstein demanded SIS more,
threatening to pull his fighters if he
wasn't paid.
Perlstein refused to pay the added
amount and Glickstein stopped Wal
lace from lighting. He capitulated so
that the last two bouts on the card
were fought. Perlstein stood I, 1dy
10 refund all the money paid in at
the box office. he stated, but he -
fused to be shanghaied into paying
laore than he had agreed. As a re-
suit. Perlstein notified Glickstein
that his services as matchmaker for
the local club, were at an end. The
next tournament Will be staged as
announced week from next Friday
night with new matchmaker plan
ming the bouts.
Casey Antelik of New Haven in the
120 pound class. handed Dominick
l'riskki of this city q classy lacing
In the three rounds of the semi-tinal.
Friskki was out when the final bell
rung but he was weary long before
that. Anteik was like a banty
rooste II climbing all over Friskki and
hitting him with all sorts of hooks,
jabs and drives. He completely out
classed the local boy in every de-
partment and gave one of the best
exhibitions Of the night.
Johnny Andrews of New Haven
received a gift from Referee John
Willis OF a decision over Jackie
Paoli OF Waterbury. Franco
American club entry at 1913 pounds,
but he also received a neat trim
ming from the Brass City lad. An
drews put UP listless battle against
his opponent who was a ball of fire.
Paoli left iabhed his way to a clear
victory but the decision was rem
dered against him.
In the 13o-pound class, Frankie
