Heavy Rain This Morning and East Wind Forces Directors of Company to Postpone Show and Opening of Big Open Air Arena on
 State Street Z

With rain falling heavily at 9 o'clock this morning and the wind in the east, a point which usually calls for an all day rain. directors of the Bridgeport Athletic and Amusement company decided to postpone the big battle between Louis Bogash and Steve Latzo and the opening of the new open air arena until Monday af- ternoon at o'clock. The company will collect the insurance money of $3,O00, but that is not considered by the directors who wanted to go ahead with the show if it were possible.
 All the boxers who were matched to take part in the program, will work out tomorrow afternoon at o'clock in Billy Hogan's Armory Athletic club on Main street. Every thing was in readiness to stage the program today, but old Jupiter Plu- vius stepped in. However, any of the little finishing touches necessary will be put on between now and Monday. The advance sale has been heavy.
 The 12 round battle Monday be- tween Bogash and Latzo will decide whether the local boy is ripe for crack at Jack Britton's crown or not because Latzo is the only boy who looms up in the path of the local bat tier.
 Should Bogash display a decisive superiority over the Haz1eton welter, who has bowed to none in his class but the champion, then his chief aim will be for a chance to meet the champion. Bogash will go into the ring on Monday afternoon against boy who has all that goes to make up fighter of first quality. :; Latzo has met them all, but that doesn't bother the Bridgeport scrapper who will take a chance with any of them.
 Latzo is one of the toughest boys in the game as his record proves and Bogash will be put to his top. most speed to shade him in the al. lotted 12 rounds. . It will be a bat. tie well worth attending because Latzo intends to check the local boys rise in the we1ter division and Bogash is aiming to reach out foi bigger things.
 The supporting bouts which Matchmaekr George Dwyer of the Amusement Company has prepared for this elimination struggle appears to be even stronger than any previous set of preliminaries.
 Steady Steadman, the local boy who exchanges blows with Tony Marto of New York in the 10-round semi final, is in reality a star bout performer. He has exhibited his wares here on several occasions and has yet to lose his first bout. Only a little over a week ago he won a richly deserved decision from Johnny "Red' Allen, and Allen is himself no mean scrap per.
 Ty Murray and Mike McCabe, two well known glove artists, will mingle in the second preliminary of the afternoon an eight-round affair. Both are hustlers and the latter has chalked up a record of something like 15 victories in his last 1 5 starts. Opening the show will be a six round battle between Young Joe Hall and Young NO'Leary. The former | has been coming rapidly of late, while | the latter. in his recent bouts has | failed to show the same brilliant form | which made him a popular favorite | several months ago.
 | All the preliminary details for the l first open air obXing show the city l has ever known-at least in mod | ern' times-have been worked out to | a nicety by the promoters. The huge | sctructure, which cost $S,000 to build | has a seating capacity in excess oi | 5000. The influx of fans will be l through two gates, one for reserved
 seat ticket holders on the sorner o. l State street and Wordin avenue, ant
 the other for bleacher seat ticke | holders on Wordin avenue. The ad l vance sale, according to Matchmakel | Dwyer, indicates that very few seats | if any, will be unoccupied.
