HUMAN 'FISH' TO
 FEATURE BOSTON
 SPORT EXPOSITION

Among the various contests scheduled for the big Hunting and Fishing Show at Boston Garden, April 12 to 21, is listed one that has gained great favor in the south, but which Boston and New England has seen only in the pie tured views of the Sunday supple ment or the newsreels. The sport is that of landing the human fish,.
 In this event, instead of reeling in a big salmon or southern sail- fish, each Isaak Walton will have an expert swimmer in the person of pretty bathing beauty attached to the end of his line. It will then be his task to bring this Truman fish" to the bank, land it, and place the aquatic beauty in a big creel.
 Not So Easy
 Off hand this might not seem like a difficult task for the fisher man, but, it is likely to prove one of the most thrilling events in the long list of contests that will take place twice daily in the big lake, 200 feet long by 65 feet wide, that will be constructed in the Garden arena. It is a contest of endur- ance between the mermaid in the water and the man on the bank who tries to land her with his thin but sturdy line. The "fish" can swim, dive, or do anything in the water to prevent being reeled in, with the one exception of touching or holding the line with her hands.
 Other events that will prove of great interest to the vast number of local fishermen will be the fly casting for distance with trout rod, trout fly-casting for accuracy, two handed salmon fly-rod casting for distance, and plug-casting for ac- curacy.
 In the exposition hall of the Garden will be displayed all the latest in fishing tackles, camp out fits, canoes and boats and all the accessories that make stream, lake and deep-sea fishing dear to the heart of the true sportsman.

|BROUILLARD BELTS GAMER BADLY TO
 WIN EASY VERDICT
Ex-WOrld's Champion Is FlOOred in 2nd-MOOre
 and Eagle Lose
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

New Haven, March 5.-Fighting like the worlds champion he was in two divisions, and surviving a second round knockdown that some of the 5000 fans thought was the beginning of the end for him, Lou Brouillard, native of Danielson but a resident of WOr- cester, lived up to every advance report of his prowess as ring man, by giving Al Gainer of New Haven, the states double title- holder what was, perhaps, the most decisive beating of his slugging career here tonight, to unques- tionably win the verdit of Referee Henry Gerrity of Bridgeport amid the howls of the largest crowd that has watched a boxing program at the Arena in many a year.
 Decisive
 The official ten-point margin of victory, 48-38 was but mildly indi- cative of the body-beating and general belting around that Brouil- lard handed out in and after the fifth round. For a few seconds
 in the second round, Gainer looked like a quick knockout winner and
 he dropped Brouillard with clean right cross and left hook, and though the negro tried hard to come through with a K. O. his ef- forts were in vain, as the chunky French Canadian bobbed, slugged, land smashed at the Gainer stomach and head. The result satisfied everyone concerned, except the
 loser and his handlers, who want another "shot" at Brouillard, on
 the grounds that Gainer was suf-
 fering from heavy cold and
 trained but two days for the fight,
 which was postponed from .aat
 week Thursday.
 Easy "Out".
 Eddie Moore of Bridgeport took
 three and one-half round past
 ing and the easiest way out as
 he flopped on his launches and
 twice, finally to be counted out, with Horatio Wilma declared the winner by a TKO. It's a long time since Moore quit in a ring. but tonight, he took to the can
 vas like Phil Scott, after absorb ing plenty Of punches.
 Charley Eagle of Waterbury did
 too much holding of Jack Renault
 which cost him the nod in a four
 round prelim, while one Dominick
 Nico, a 17-year old kid proved no | match for sturdy Bellus.
