Slam=Bang Card of Action Pleases 1000 Fans;
 New Boss on Hand
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

One of the finest shows I have ever seen" was the manner El which last nights amateur boxing pro gram at Randolph-Cl stadium impressed the new Connecticut ath- letic commissioner, Prank CoSkey of West Hartford, and 2,000 others who saw the states five best lightWeights do their stuff and two of the three best Waterburians lose decisions, in cluding the state l35 pound cham pion, Tommy Ciarlo.
 With one exception, every one of the ten bouts went on as adver- tised, and with perfect weather con- ditions, real good time was had by all, for there was enough slam bang action to start another war. For in stance, Irish Johnny Hayes ot Bridgeport, using a good left hand and occasional right cross outpoint- ed Tommy Ciarlo in the first round cnly to have the much shorter Ciarlo come back like an install ment collector and walloped the day lights out of the Bridgeporter who is really Danbury lad, the son of Chick Leahy, old-time figther, re- membered by many Waterburians, who like their leather-pushing in the days of the old Auditorium on South Main street. Tommy won the second round going away. Hayes came back strong in the third and was leading, when Ciarlo landed a right hand shot that drove his foe from the side to the center of the ring. He then nailed him with two left hooks and had him in a bad way when the bell rang. Referee George Proto gave the nod to Hayes, | despite such situation. It was a tough fight to take away from the local lad who did much more dam age than his opponent, landed the cleaner and harder punches, despite quite some holding and spinning around by the boy who got the gift. A draw decision would have given Ciarlo the worst of it, in the opin- ion of the writer, but he did not even get that. It was a great fight from start to finish, and provided a fine windup of a fine program. Buff Beaten
 Billy Taylor of Bridgeport boxed his way to win over Frankie Buff of this city in 160 pound battle that was a humdinger from start to finish, as Buff put on a rally in the final round that was just short of getting him an even break. Tay- Tor tossed in occasional right hand smashes that did plenty of damage, which, with his boxing ability, won him the nod.
 Art Smith of Meriden gave Dick Turcotte, the French fiailer, whale of an argument for while, but the local boys southpaW seeking proved much too much for the game Silver City lad, who was counted out be- yond the ropes in the third round.
 All Even
 Red Moffltt, the Devon destroyer and Kid Sal of Meriden, wound up all even in bristling battle fea- tured by Moffitt's long range punch ing and boxing as against the body punching and overland right hand pokes thrown by Sal. The bout was called a draw, though Moff1tt seem- ed to shade best because of his con- sistent forcing of the fight, defen- sive ability (making opponent miss) and sharper right hand punches.
 Young Bumbo of New Haven quit cold in the second round after Emil Etters clouted him few times. Bumbo tried to quit in the first round claiming a rabbit" punch after which he went down for a 9 count, while Filters was on him like a wild bull when he got to his feet. just beating the K. O. count. The rabbit" punch referred to hit him on the ear and side of the head, the referee being behind him and unable 70 see where the blow actually landed.
