The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-21
AIl-Star Show, However, De- serving Record-Breaking Attendance-BeSt Card Ever Offered In Bridgeport.

Tickets for the banner a1-star 3O- round boxing carnival of the Penn broke A. C. at the Casino on next Monday night were placed on sale to- day and judging by the many re- quests that have been received at the
 regular places where the ducl1ets are usually sold the attendance at the show that Honest Terry Lee has
 arranged for next week will surpass
 that of last Wednesday. The receipts last week were a trifie over g., 500. It is figured that the gate for next Mon day will be more than S3,000. Any way, such d splendid card as that ar ranged by Terry is worth twice as
 much, for it is unbeatable and inclu- sIve of some of the best matches ! brought here in years. The Akorn A c. show was a sue cess in every way, but the fistic pro- gram on next Monday will go that club one better. for the very good req son that the three principal bouts could hold their own alone at the helm of any card. A better heavy weight battIe than the eight-rounder In which Larry Williams of this city and Kid Norfolk, the coIored heavy weight, will figure is impossible to
 find There is a scarcity of good heavyweights, but here is q pair that can fight.
 The writer personally looks for ward to slugging match between the two. No love is lost between the two and there is a bitter feeling ex- istins between boys of sam Drivers stable and those piloted by Leo F. Flynn Norfolk, despite his great weight, IS a shifty .battler with a very heavy wallop. He has defeated the
 best in his class and today is classed as the colored heavyweight cham plon of America. Surely, no one has
 disputed this claim.
 Larry is without question the most | promising light heavyweight in the game He appreciates the ability of the colored man and for that reason can be depended upon to foe at lis best. Will
 Hams is training in New York. With Norfolk he win necessarily have 10 De at his best, for the negro is pug znng enough without an opponent be- ing out of form Local fans have al- ready made Norfolk a to i favorite, but these odds will change and be even, perhaps. after Larry returns
 from New York, where he is enter
 taining wounded soldiers as well as i training.
 | Pete Hartley of Derby and Louis 'Bogasn of this city are attracting con- | siderable attention and there is no ! doubt but that this battle will draw | no few to the State street auditorium. Pete is a clever infighter with a lot
 or speed and pep On the other hand. | Louis Bogash is an awkwardly clever | fighter, who is extremely dangerous, | for the very good reason that he has | absolutely no particular style, but, on | the contrary, boxes and fights an op- | ponent he finds him.
 | The two are not strangers and their | haftlP al DaYhxr lo- ISoI 1 most exciting witnessed in these dig | gings in a long time. As it was a | no-decision and the two fought about | evenly the ringside critics differed in | their opinion as to it's outcome. The | writer personally sized it up as a very good draw. The two are very l evenly matched. It is a case of an awkwardly clever fighter against a | careful infghting boxer. To attempt [ to select the probable winner is time
 idly spent.
 Mickey Travers and Sapper Conan | will furnish the third eight-rounder. | What will happen when this pair | steps into the ring is hard to tell, | for both are clever. Of the two
 Travers is the harder hitter. How
 ever, he is not stiff enough to puzzle
 the Bridgeporter, who surprised his friends by holding off the New Ea- vener to a fast and a good draw last
 week. Tommy Shea, Mickey's man. 1 ager, has every confidence in his man
 and expects him to stop. Sapper. This. | however. is improbable, for the Sap per is too clever and game to flop
 before even one of those healthy wal lops that the New Havener deals out. The curtain raiser will be a six rounder between Chic Turner and Jimmy Kane of this city. Chick is one of those entertainingly hard, fighting battlers who doesn't know Fwhat t is to be idla.
