After a four listed longshoreman,S brawl. the dockworkers delight and fight that pleased every last one of close to 1,5O0 fans who damned Buckingham Hall last night, Irish Eddie Dolan of this city, one of the nations ten ranking welterweights, indicated why, after 10 to 12 years of boxing, he is still among "the cream of the crop'' by outpointing rough. tough, hard-hitting Carl Dell of New York in an eight rounder that topped four bouts of action and comedy sixer which gave the Waterbury A. c. its outstanding ar- tistic and financial success of the indoor season.
 Hard Battle.
 When the main go was over, Do- Ian "knew he had been in e fight" as the saying goes, for, despite a gaShed eyebrow in the very first round which threatened for a min ute to stop the bout, Dell waded in, and for the next seven rounds there was not too much to choose between the pair. Dolan's class off, set Dell's aggressiveness and occa- sional right-hand punching which was good, but not by much, Referee George Proto of New Haven giving Dolan the decision by the margin of three points, 38 to 35. Even the final round, which seemed to be Dolan's, went to Dell on the ref eree's card. Dolan got five rounds, Dell two, and one was even, but it's the point scoring that counts.
 The next show, in two weeks, may feature Doug Marsh of Canada and Cat Robinson of Jamaica, Long Isl- and, announcer Chick Kelley told the customers.
 Dell was strong, even after his eyebrow was badly broken open in the first round, that Dolan had all he could do to hold him of, but, once again, the local lads ring class and sharp left-hand punching stood him in good stead, as he piled up points enough to win the nod, which was fair. All Dell lacked was class for he has plenty of ag- greSsiveneSs, a solid right-hand smash, is fast enough, but is weak on his left and had little defense, aside from his aggressiveness. The boys scaled but a half pound apart, 145s for Dell to 145 for Dolan.
 After a slow start, Sidney Levine of New York took the lead from Frankie Foley of New Haven and scored steadily thereafter with hard rights and lefts to the head and body to win a six-round decision going away. Foley invited Levine to come in and fight" and from there on Foley was on the receiving end of leathering that he will not soon forget They are welterweights.
 Funny Stun.
 Hubby Noble of Wilkes Barre, Pa, short, round youngster who looks like walking delegate for a dairy-farm, was the most popular loser who ever threw a punch in any Waterbury ring. Tony Gillo Of New Haven, most unorthodox boxer in his own right, won the ,six-round decision but met his match in the lard-laden foe from the coal-country who winds up his punch like a grandfatheris clock and lets 1t go like discus thrower. He hit Gillo many a solid punch, too, but the latter could take 1t and scored in the last three rounds with some solid shots to the Noble belly and kisSer which won the nod from the referee. Tony missed a few, too. by the proverbial mile, 1 but Noble had the fans screaming with laughter, and can come back here anytime, if Gillo can be had for him once more.
 All Even.
 Frankie Young of New Haven was too strong for Charley Seelig of Camden, N. J.. though Seelig land- ed several right hand shots to Young's jaw that would have dropped many another boxer, but Young is so tough that he brushes oil those punches like so much dandruff. At that the boys wound up in an official draw, which seemed right enough, but the fans yelped at the referee for some time, believing that he should play Santa Claus and give Seelig the nod, though Charley was folding up like an accordeon for the last three rounds of the six-round bout, as Young scored heavily to the body.
 Max Katz of Waterbury defeated Benny Maxine of Danbury in a four-round opener, which the red- haired Jewish middleweight won easily and could have scored a pos sible knockout if he had followed up a knockdown in the first round.
 The crowd was the biggest of the indoor season, and grossed more than $1,20O, Dolan collecting 20 per cent of the net receipts for his end.
