CARLO COMES WITH. .QUICK KNOCKOUT.
Williams Stopped in First Round-Turcotte Halts
 Massari
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY


 If ever there was any doubt in the alleged minds of some of those hope the home town boy gets beat" customers, and there are surpris- ingly large number of them, it should have been removed last night at Buckingham Hall. At least. insofar as Dick Turcotte and Tommy Ciarlo, both former state lightweight cham pions, are concerned. Ciarlo, by the way, won the title from Turcotte at New Haven, when both were z teurs, and bad cut over the ey prevented Turcotte from continu- ing, though he wanted to do so.
 Action Aplenty
 Turcotte met a tartar" in Frank Massari of Brooklyn, N. Y., but knocked out the New Yorker in the fourth round, after inhaling con- siderable leather. Ciarlo nearly caused old Joe O'Brien of Spring field to choke by swallowing his chew of Mrs. Miller's cut plug, when Tommy knocked out the colored star of the Home City stable, Bobby Williams, in the very first round, after taking plenty of punishment himself in wild and woolly ex- change that lasted from the bell to the knockout count of "ten". Kid Ciarlo certainly did a neat job, blasting the tough, hard hitting Williams to the floor with right hand shots to the chin, and when he got up, dropped him again which kept the colored clouter down long enough to provide the sensational knock out ending in his favor.
 Bobby Ellis of New Britain was again on the end of questionable decision. When Ciarlo licked him, many thought Ciarlo got the best of the decision and didn't deserve it, so Ciarlo beat him again, just to prove the point. Last mint it was Ellis who got the nod over George Jor- dan, Springfield Greek, by virtue of a clean knockdown in the third round. It was a hairline nod, and Referee Jim Calvin gave it where it belonged, in the opinion of the writer. The referee could have got ten himself "off the spot" with a draw decision, but he called it just as he saw it, though many disagreed with his verdict, as Jordan gave Ellis plenty of trouble in the second round, but seemed to have enough edge in the first and third to over- come Jordan's big second round, the knockdown being the difference be- tween a draw and a win for Ellis.
 Ellis and Jordan were re-matched for one of the feature bouts on the next Waterbury A. c. show, Friday, April 21.
 Springfield's Charley Baginski, ex-N. E. feather title holder, de- feated Billy Satryb of Rockville in a lively three rounder, in which Saytrb was cut up bit, but fought gamely. "Baggy" was just a bit too good for him last night, though the bout itself was pleasing all the way.
 Other Results
 Fat Frank Wocel of Rockville was a knockout victim of Waterbury's Ken Reinhardt, though the local lad took litle body-beating before he scored the K. o. in round one.
 Billy Towne, 147, Springfield, dropped Sammy Craig, 145, local colored boy, for a five count in the second round, and again in the third for a no-count, and went on to win a decision. Craig fought well, but the knockdowns counted heavily against him.
 Joe Wallace, 162, Waterbury couldn't keep Charley Bockofen, 161, Rockville, down. He dropped him for nine in the first round with a left to the chin, and again in the second round, but Backofen a good looking kid, got up and fought back on each occasion to win the cheers of the faithful although losing.
 Nick Sato, 121, Springfield, a 16- year-old mite with much class dropped Jo-Jo Inturri, 123, Hartford in the second round, but Inturri managed to survive. Sato threatened to floor the Hartford boy again in the third, but Inturri came out oi
