 Doubt exists as to whether Sam Driver will make use of the first June permit to stage a. boxing show. Sam | said today that it is too hot to stage an indoor show. If the police com | mission will grant him permission | to hold show outdoors he will use his permit. Otherwise the permit will go to waste. As the commission is practically decided in not allowing | outdoor boxing shows it is almost l certain that there will be no show l conducted by Driver next month.
 Louis Bogash of this city will leave 1 for Boston tomorrow. On Friday | night at the Commercial club in Bos- l ton Bogash boxes 12 rounds with | Johnny Clinton of New York. This | will be their third meeting. The first bout, which was staged at the Armory A. A. in Boston, was Clinton's by a ! wide margin The second was staged here and resulted about evenly.
 Frankie Britt, the New Bedford eatherweight, expects to show his wares at a show to be conducted in New Haven some time next month. Frankie is wanted in the Elm City to fight Tommy Shea, who, it is said, is preparing for a come back.
 Red" Allen of this city is just now perhaps the most unpopular boxer in Bridgeport. It is said that Red" ] prevented the promoters of the Pem- broke A. C. show at the Casino last Monday night from posting cards and furnishing tickets to stores in the West End. This move. the promoters say, cut something like $4OO in on the purse.
 Billy Grupp, who conducts ., gym nasium down at West 116th street in New York told the writer yester- day that he will endeavor to stage boxing shows at his place upon his return from a two-weeks vacation in St. Louis, his home town. Billy by the way, wants to conduct the shows on the membership plan.
 Eddie Nugent of Nutley, N. J., who is coming along like a champ, and George Mckay, now in the service, will furnish the main attraction of eight rounds at the Hamilton A. c. in Passaic, N. J.. on June 2. This should be a fast bout.
 Battling Levinsky and Harry Grebb will box in Pittsburgh on June ,, according to word received today from Dan Morgan. Levinsky was to have fought the Pittsburgher last Saturday night, but q clash between rival clubs in that city resulted in postponement
 Sapper Conan, who will figure in one of the aI-star bouts at Water bury tomorrow night, resumed train ing yesterday. Sapper was not in a condition to show his best Monday night against Mickey Travers of New Haven, but at that he put up a game showing.
 The card that Promoter Shea will offer at the Auditorium in Waterbury looks like the best offered in that city in many a. day, and. according to all reports. the house will amount to at least $2,5OO. Walter Mohr and Wee Wee Barton will figure in the main bout.
 Dick Curley. former New Haven promoter, it is said, is cleaning up down at the Belmont track. Dick and his new car can be found down at the track almost any afternoon. Curley, by the way will be up this way with Mohr tomorrow afternoon. Larry Williams who showed so well against Kid Norfolk al the Casino the other night left this afternoon on the Federal express for a three day stay at his home in Philadel- phia. Incidentally Larry will turn over his earnings of his last two fights to his mother.
 The big reason why Terry Lees show on Monday night was a finan- ciaI failure was found in the fact that he and those who worked at the door were so liberal in passing in dead heads" Nothing is so harm full to boxing as dead heads and Bridgeport, the writer is sorry to say, has more than it's share of them. Clarence Gillespie is now managing Charley Pitts. formerly of this city, but now of New York. Clarence has several bouts in store for his pro- tege, whom he thinks will -ake a very clever light weight. If anybody can keep Charley busy Clarence is the man.
 Another good boxer has gone wrong. Frankie Britt and Ray Cass are split. Incidentally Britt is all but through with boxing. While Cass has his faults. it was he who has made Britt and of this matchmakers are well aware. Frankie will make a mess of things, but he thinks that he can fight and be his own manager. Joe Leonard, the New York feath- erweight, and Silvey Burns have also parted. This fact developed yesterday | Joe got too inquisitive about what he was getting. He refused to take his managers word for it and Silvey rightfully gave ''him the air Now | Joe is looking for a. manager, | Chick Brown and Louis Bogash | will in all proba bility show at the | next show in New Haven. A New | Haven promoter has already open l ed negotiations with Louis manager. I The latter will make n demand for
