DOLAN EASILY MASTERS VILLA
 ON LOCAL CARD
King and DuImaine Thrill Fans With Great Six
 Round Draw
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Manuel Villa of Mexico, game, tough and willing fighter tried his level best to find" Irish Eddie Do- Ian of Waterbury last night before l,4O0 fans at the Randolph Cloves Stadium, but, after eight rounds of boxing by Dolan and effort by Villa, the latter seemed to have had as much chance to win as Ruby Brad ley of Holyoke would have against Joe Louis.
 Dolan, seemingly hitting harder than ever, lost no time piling up poinst in round one, and kept at it for eight times thre minutes. Once or twice during tho bout, Villa landed solid body punch or two and scored with a right hand to the Dolan dome occasionally, but Ed- ward set such pace of punching that he had to slow himself down to a walk and give Villa chance at least to see him for few seconds. Eddie tried hard for 8 knockdown in the final round, but he doesn't punch hard enough for that, and, as heretofore reported, Manuel Is about as easy to knock down as the Statue of Liberty.
 Bellus Next
 Dolan's next showing will be at New Bedford, whez1 ne takes on ancient Johnny Bellus of New Ha- ven next Monday. Eddie made quite a hit with the N. B. fans last week in defeating Andre Jesserun, which accounts for his returning to that city. His manager, Jack Moore has turned down a $1,000 offer to fight Charley Burley, Pittsburgh negro with, the explanation that Burley, a pretty fair negro fighter, is too heavy.
 SlugerOO
 As expected by the writer the Cotton King-Leo Dulnaine semi final of six rounds "stole the show" and ended in a slashing draw deci- sion by Referee Lou Bogash which seemed to satisfy 98 per cent of the fans on hand. King started fast, but did not have too much lead, when Dulmaine scored well enough to even things up and so 1t went for six rounds, the two blodies having several toe to toe" exchanges that thrille dthe customers to the back bone, the cool weather having also done a job on the spines of every one present. Both King and Dull maine wound up with eye trouble as the result of stiff punching, but their battle royal was teh standout bout of the outdoor season locally. There were no knockdowns, though both boys hit hard enough to score one or more but the punching was SO even, and the boys in such good condition that both stayed on theire feet from start to finish of a slug eroo de luxe that reminded many of the Cik Turcotte-D Danny Holihan battles of two years ago.
 Katz By K. O.
 Maxie Katz and Tony Gillo of New Haven substituted for Freddy Lewis of Wilkes-Barre and Tom Collins of Waterbury, the local boy having injured an ankle during his daily work. Gillo, hog-fat, lasted two rounds and part of another, when hard right to the chin knocked him out Katz, though not trained for the bout, showed up very well, his boxing being particularly good up to the time he landed the kayo.
 Mel Miller of Wilkes Barre waltz ed to a win over Chico Pacheko of Puerto Rico, and, though Miller tried hard for a kayo he could not shake of the hard-holding Chico who was also a substitute on the card. In the opening four rounder, Art Tatta of New Haven was an easy winner over Dom Fusco of Puerto Rico.
