Hartford. March Billy Alser, . welterweisht from Arizona where the biz storms brew. ran up against an lrSsh- New England hurricane in the person of Frankie O'Brien of Hartford. at the Foot Guard Hall boxing show last evening and f1ut- tered like leaf to the canvas in the second round. He was unable to emerge from his corner for the third round and O'Brien was credited with a technical knockout.
 Alger's swift and sudden exit from the program came when he couldn't get his jaw out of the way Of O'Briens hammering left. He fell like an elevator when the safety device fails and was stretched out full lcn;, :, on the canvas when the bell soul.jed ending the second round. Eddie Harvey. his manager and another assistant, acting in the role of pail bearers, dragged and lifted him to his stool and attempt ed to fan the spark that had gone out like a cigarette but tossed into Niagara Falls. But it was no use Foot Guard hall and the throng of fight fans were only a blur before his eyes. Harvey realized the futil- ity of trying to send him in against O'l'rien again and told Referee George Porto that his gladiat or would spend the rest of the evening between tho sheets st his hotel. Por- to raised O'Brien's hand and that was very much that
 Alger made his best impression while he was sitting on his stool waiting for the clash 10 begin. He had all the appearance of fighting from the opening gong and peppered his jaw with stiff lefts. bobbing his head back and forth. Alger's stock sank. OBrien carried the fight 10 he boy from Phoenix and showed that he was out 10 win.
 O'Brien increased his speed and power in the second It has taken him only one round to realize thai Mir Aleer had nothing except a froWn. Frankie's machine gun left. interspersed with an occasional right found the bull's-eye with monoton- ous regularity. Two left socks 10 AL gers jaw hurled him to floor. It was apparent that he could not regain sufficient vitality to return to the fray and he didn't.
 o'Rrien wegf cd 155 and Alger 15c 1-2.

He boxed rings around Williams. who never ceased for moment trying to whip over taps" for the southern CT.
