PERRY, LEVEQUE SHOW CLASS IN
 AMATEUR BOUTS
Fourteen Contests on Arena Program MOr- ris Beaten-RudyLo Loses to BanOla

Ken Ferry, one or OaVe helly 8 boys from the YMCA and Al Leve- que, who has been shaped up for these many weeks by the fistic firm of Fink and Dance seem to be well on their way to quick success in Connecticut amateur boxing cir cles. From results both of them showed last night at the Phoenix Arena during the elimination bouts of the state Diamond Gloves Tour nament, continued progress in the caulifiower industry seems to lie just ahead of them.
 Perry, 156 pound boy, who seems to have a ''natural' left hand for boxing purposes disposed of Paul Gullo of Meriden midway in the second round. A combination of left hooks and right crosses paved Paul's downward path early in the bout. Later on, Perry took on Joe Daly of this city and deci- stoned him without a great deal of trouble.
 Leveque bounced three right hand smashes off the coal-black countenance of Jimmy Hicks of New Haven and each one of them put James on the canvas in the opening round. Hicks was game enough, but had no defense for the solid-thumping 176 pounder from the south end, who bids fair to topple over plenty of opponents in the future if he does not become fright hand crazy" as the fighter handlers term it.
 Slapped Down
 Chester Rudy of Waterbury, h 0Jd r,f ha nj n nf NuoI- terweight crown boxed twice, win of Meriden but drawing a surprise package in Wally Bonola of New Britain who slapped hin. into sub- mission during his second appear ance in the ring. Bonola never stop ped skipping ala Rosenbloom, one of his heavier cuffs putting Rudy on the floor for a count. Bonola won easily, as Rudy seemed to tire early in the bount.
 Johnny Fischetti of New Britain proved quite a shock to cockhy lit- tie Spiro Morris of Bridgeport, flooring the Greek boy in the sec- ond round of the evenings best contest, The 118 pound kids went at 1t hammer and tong3 from the first bell, Fischetti winding up with the decision and no questions ask ed. Half a buck" which he won from his chief and only second for beating Morris tickled Fischetti more than the decision over the Bridgeport bantam or the silver glove prize he received from Re- fierce Jim Calvin.
 Local Winners
 .1a l. won their bouts with little trouble though neither of them looked par ticularly classy in winning, from Johnny Torick of New Haven. Jim- my Stewart stocky New Haven negro stopped Patsy Sigretti of Town Plot in the second round, while Johnny Bellino won his first bout and lost the final go against Pinky Morris of Bridgeport when the bout was stopped to prevent further injury to one of Bellino's 6 eyes.
 Tribute was paid to the memory of Joe Kid" Shea of Waterbury and Ernie Schaaf whose deaths oc- cured within the past two weeks. Their ability and sportsmanship in and out of the prize ring was lauded in brief eulogy given by John Cluney, anouncer of the pro- gram. Summarizes:
