had 8 very black ana peWuoereu counterpart last evening in the dusky person of Ernie "Cat" Robin son of New York who took ten round leathering from Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury that he will re- member to his dying day. Not that Robinson was hurt 8 great deal, but, with the exception of two rounds, the second and ninth, he stopped enough leather with his face and body to make Dolan's exhibition of the so-called manly art" one of the finest boxing exhibitions ever seen in a Connecticut city. It was all the more impressive because the colored boy, a killing puncher. was dangerous every minute he was in action.
 Dolanss ring work for eight of the ten rounds was nothing short of amazing to paid crowd of 2,766, largest of the outdoor season to date. Even in the second round, when Robinson, who had stopped Dick Turcotte a week ago, momen- tarily caught up" with Dolan and had him on Queer street after two smashing punches to the head and jaw, the local lad fought his way out of danger, and finished the round quite himself, though the ne- gro won the round in the opinion of the writer.
 Last Flurry
 Again in the ninth, Robinson came on again, following a "slug" of whiskey, given him in his corner but Dolan was equal to the occa- sion, held his own, took the tenth round easily and was in much bet- ter shape than the tired Robinson at the finish. Dolan was master of the situation at all times with the exception of 30 seconds in the sec- ond round when he was cornered and for a similar period in the ninth round.
 Robinson meets Carl Dell of New York in a return bout at Hartford next week Thursday. Dolan is near ly signed to meet Johnny Bellus of New Haven in this city within two weeks. Dolan outpointed BelluS in gruelling fight indoors at New Haven last May. Bellus has been 8 ranking first ten" welterweight for the past two years, as has the, clever Waterburian, Irish Eddie Dolan who scaled Al l-2 was 8 half pound lighter than Robinson, at 142.
 Dolan is doing more punching than he ever did before and ef- fectively. too. though not a knock out wallop, 1t slowed Robinson down considerably, while he took Robin sons hardest shots now and then without wilting, while his boxing has never been better. Last nights work was pretty good indication of why the leading welterweights of the country want no part of the left handed boy from Waterbury, Conn.
 Fat Boy Stopped
 Benny Jacobs, a 210 pound fat boy from the "big city" tried to rush Dula Kovach of Naugatuck out of the ring in the first round of their sixer, but Kovach, at 178, wound ID the winner by the TKO route when Jacobs manager stopped the bout in the fourth round when Jacobs suf- fered small cut over the right eye. He was in poor shape, but Kovach could not knock him down to save his own life, for the unexpected fin- ish came as welcome relief to the borough boy who seemed to become a bit discouraged when he hit Ja- cobs with his Sunday" punches and nothing happened.
 Tommy Ciarlo, at 136 1-2 was TKO winner over Abe Cohen of New York when their fairly even bout ended in the third round as the New Yorker decided he "had enough" though he was holding his own up to the time he decided to call 1t an evening, after taking one or two hard shots to the body. Co., hen is uite young, qabout 16 or IT, and his handler took no chances of having him hurt too much by the hard-hitting Ciarlo.
 After shaky start, Billy Marcus of Windsor Locks, Waterbury and Hartford, won . hard earned nod over Sammy Mammone, the Stam- ford "Kid Kaplan" who nearly punched Marcus full of holes in the first two rounds, but Marcus began to box well, made Mammone miss frequently and scored well with left jabs and right uppercuts.
 Billy Brown of Waterbury got a tough break in Referee Frank Por- telle's decision which went against him in favor of Lenny Verostak of Shelton, whom Brown defeated in a four rounder. outboxing mad out punching the cdlumsy verostak for three of the four rounds sched- uled. Brown also forced the fighting most of the way.
