 Bowling Chatter.

Connie Lewis, the new duckpin champion bowler of the state, and Ffdo O'Brien of Hartford. will roll a series of 21 games for a purse of $500. The first set will be rolled on the Casino alleys in Hartford tomor- row night with another meeting at the Park City alleys here on Friday night. In consenting to meet O'Brien, the champion has not consented to defend his title as the Hartford man is claiming no championship.
 Manager Healey accepted the match for Lewis and today said that he is confident Lewis will make off with this series.. O'Brien is well thought of in the Capital City and will be supported by scores of his friends. Connie, however, is ex- tremely confident and expects no trou- bIe subduing the Hartford bowler.

TACK CU7RLEY would have been the ! happiest man in America could he have been at the Arena, He would have learned a good lesson from that shrewd and liberal promoter-shOwman Dick Curley. To Dick must so the credit for the sucCess that crowned the show, for it was he who planned and arranged the entertainment and without outside assistance.
 Dick Curley is a man of big things. He never does anything in so-called small time fashion. He delights in accomplishing big things And it is because of his great accomplish ments an boxing that American fans know him best. It was Dick Curley, after scores of others had failed. who signed Benny Leonard, lightweight champian, to meet Johnny kilbane. fearherweight monarch, for their memorable bout of eight rounds in Philadelphia.

sIue Ribbons.

The third game of the Ansonia- Blue Ribbons basketball series for the professional championship of Connecticut will be played at Colonial Hall here tonight and judging from the great advance sale of tickets another record breaking crowd will be on hand. The Ansonians will come to Bridgeport with the large following and a special section has been reserved for them.
 The series is not on even footing, each team having won a, game. The Ansonians won the opening game here, while the locals defeated their rivals on their home floor a week ago Saturday night. The team winning four out of seven will be declared winner. Two more evenly matched teams have never been brought to- gether in this city and because of that reason it is unfair to select a favorite

W HETHER the Eastern League W will be a, six or eight-club cir cult will not be definitely decided for several weeks yet. This informa ton President Dan O'NeiI gave out yester- day in Hartford. Dan took the oc- casion to say that at no time has he said to anyone that the Eastern League will be an eight-club proposi- ton. O'NeiI hopes that it will con stitute that number of clubs-but that is all. He is simply hoping.
 But this hope is a promising one, for even if Providence doesn't come in there are q number of other good towns that stand prepared to jump In. Ho1yoke is literally yelping it. self hoarse trying to convince O'Nei1 that the sports there mean business The same can be said of Waterbury and Pittsfeld.

 Curley has not conducted a. boxing show for profit since that Leonard Kilbane bout. During the war he de- voted all his efforts to arranging shows for war charities funds. He gave his time and in many cases dug down into his own pockets. But he has made a success of everything. So 1t Is no wonder that he has developed already into New England's leading wrestling impersario. Keep up the good work, Dick, and good luck to you.

BRTTONS WIN EARNS HIM WOR DIS WELTERWEIGHT CHAMpIONSt
CPORTORIALC B BY
 ROGER TERRI

TT HAT wrestling when conducted on its merits will draw as big as box ing was proven conclusively last night when more than 4000 people made their way to the Arena to see Wladek Zbyszko the Polish heavyweight championship contender, tackle Rem ato Gardini. the Italian grappler. New Haven has housed many impor- tant battles and the Arena has shell tered larger crowds, but not at a wrestling match.
 The spelndid showing at New Ha- ven speaks highly and praisingly for Promoter Dick Curley and the wrest- 7ers Wrestling, like boxing, has been subjected to many a hard blow, but perhaps the attacks made on the grappIing sport have been more or less justified, for the United States during the past four years has wit messed many q ',bunco'' match that on paper looked like a splendid match.
 Last nights match, however, was an exception and because 1t was more than s5,000 was paid into the box of flee. The audience, too, was interest ing, for more than 70 per cent. of those who constituted 1t seldom turn out for g. sporting affair. Of that number perhaps more than 90 per cent were Italians from all parts of the State---Italians who had heard of the prowess of Gardini. their hope. They came from all parts of Connect scut, and they paid their fee cheer fully.
 That they left the spacious a.udito- rium equally cheerful and satisfied with the diversion furnished them goes without saying. for the enter tainment was of high grade order. Zbyszko was at hIs best. So was Gardini, for the latter never had a more important bout arranged for him. To the Italian the match meant everything. That's why he worked so hard

TONIGHT the third game of the ] Blue Ribbons-Ansonia basketball championship series will be played at Colonial hall. The series now stands one-a1l. What the Ribbons will do tonight time only will tell, for never have two professional teams been more evenly matched. Their past two games have proved surprisingly fast and were well played.
 Jack Leavy will make no shifts in his lineup. And so far as we know Manager Jason Wright of the Anson- ians will use the same team he used against the Bridgeporters a week ago. But one can never tell what is liable to happen these days. It IS idle to select a favorite, for neither has shown the edge on the other in the two games already played.
 The best we can do is to sit back and wait.
