Eddie Kinley, the former soldier heavyweight, now making Long Branch, N. Y, his home and who is billed to box eight rounds with Larry Williams of this city at the Stale Street Casino on Wednesday night, will arrive in town on Monday after noon and complete his training in this city. This will afford Bridge iportens an oportuntty to look him over. His forfeit money has already reached the hands of the promoters. With Eddie will come Jimmy DeFor- est, the well known handler of fight CTS. Jimmy is managing the soldier and in a letter to this office expresses confidence that his protege will spring ''the surprise of the boxing year in Bridgeport
 Writing this office Jimmy says;
 Eddie KinIey will arrive in Bridge port on Monday, as we have promised the Bridgeport matchmaker he would do. NOW there is nothing to worry about, have the real goods in Eddie Kinley. You have seen him in action against Battling Levinsl1y and sew i eraI good bouts down at my place on Long Branch, so you know and can appreciate him as crack battler l But for the sake of your readers and i Bridgeport in general I am coming to Bridgeport several days in advance of the fight and publicly show my coming champion to the fans.
 | ''KinIey has been training hard at the gymnasium here. Several months ago he boxed a few rounds with Jack | Dempsey who meets Jess Willard for the championship. Eddie slammed the contender several times and after the workout Dempsey walking over to a corner where I was seated said: | Jimmy, you have a wonderful boy in him. It was unnecessary for Demp- lsey to say that for there is not a manager in New York who is not ac- quainted with that fact or is anxious to have his heavyweight meet my boy. We expect to come to Bridge port and hop right out as winner, for IT believe I have the one man who can defeat Larry Williams. One thing is certain and that is that Eddie Kin ley can be depended upon to be in the thickest of the fighting and fore ing it, for at this style he is a, whale. s
 Williams, nevertheless, is putting in all the hard work that he possibly can and today also predicted a vic tory for himself over the knocko ut route. Larry worked several hours yesterday afternoon at the gymna- sium and said, after he was through, that he will probably be at his best by Tuesday afternoon
 Louis Bogash of Bridgeport is an other local boxer who is taking ex- ceptionally good care of himself, for l the Italian is set on getting revenge on Johnny Clinton of New York whom he meets in one of the eight rounders at the Casino next We'd nesday Louis is doing plenty of bag
