BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

CeOrRe RhCe, CleVelHud NeRrO WHO lost the worlds bantamweight title to Lou Salica of New York less than year ago made a rather disap- pointing showing against Jimmy Kid Hatcher of Lake City, South Caro- lima last night, the latter scoring an easy eight round decision over his rival who had been held up all day at Fort Jay, Staten Island while taking an examination for induction into the United States Army, and was a very tired boy as he rolled into Waterbury last night at 8:35 p. m. just in time to stop the pro- motors from running toward the Naugatuck river.
 Frankly Hatcher was master of the situation from start to finish with the possible exception of the third round, though 1t was obvious that Pace was tired and can do bet- ter though he tried his level best to make fight of 1t, remarking: T hate to think the fans believe I can't do better than that" As @ matter of fact, he tried to get the show put of until tonight, so that he could get the rest eneded before Q fight with Q foe as tough as he knew Hatcher to be.
 G. M. Seeks Ivy Go
 Promoter George Mulligan liked Hatcher's performance So well that he had public announcement made that he woul dtry to match Hatcher with Bobby Ivy of Hartford, for $i,- 900 side bet, but the announcement did not register too well, for some unknown reason, as Hatch-1vy bout would draw between $7500 and $l0,0 1000 In any large Connecticut city especially Hartford, New Haven or Waterbury.
 Last night Pace and Hatcher lost no time starting to punch, both using body attacks in which honors were pretty nearly even in the first round.
 Hatcher got going well with short uppercuts, left hooks and an occa- sional solid right to Faces face which won him the second round, after which the Cleveland boy put in his best round in the third, talk ing 1t by 6 slight margin in the opinion of the writer. From then on 1t was Hatcher iii a walk. Hatcher scaled l29, Pace 127.
 As his manager insisted, Hamil Willoughby, IF pound bantam weight with the build of Q light weight from the waist up, was a sensation" as ne gave the previous ly undefeated Earl Roys of Bristol Q six round going over that was quite a revelation to fans who have seen Roys win with ease in most of his Connecticut showings The Bris- told boy showed courage and fought back as best he could but spotted his clever, hard-hitting, speedy oppo- nent hegiht and reach and at no time was a match for Willoughby, a moustached Puerto Rican who has defeated everything in New York amateur ranks and made his first professional showing last night ir , Waterbury.
