Bloom Looms UD
 As Worthy Foe For StendnaUn

Steady Steadman will have to hop at his fastest pace to negotiate a win over Phil Bloom in the stellar bout on the Casino bill for next Monday night, is the opinion of Jimmy Shy der, matchmaker for the Bus Associa- tion. who saw Bloom tack a reverse onto Paddy Flynn's record in their | bout at the Ridgewood Grove Sport ing club, Saturday night.
 ''This fellow Bloom has every i thing" said Snyder yesterday. "Al- though a veteran of the ring he is in the whir1wind class Steadman or any other boxer will have to show some real class to put anything over . on Bloom,' is Snyder's dope. Bloom had the majority of the rounds in his favor Saturday night.
 Bloom, who has met the best of the boys in the lightweight division, is now out for the welterweight crown, and on the trail of Jack Britton for return match. Bloom has also mixed it up with Benny Leonard, Lew Tender, Ted Kid Lewis and Soldier Bartfield in his ring career.
 Young O'Leary realizes he will have a tough argument on his hands when he hooks into Irish Johnny Curtin in their 10-round bout. The Acorn A. c. favorite is right down on the job training and isn't shirking one iota in his task.
 O'Leary is confident elf can maintain my present condition and speed I have no doubt of the out come of the battle,'' said O'Leary yes terday. "I never felt better in my life and am confident of gaining the decision over Curtin
 Another go that should be a hum mer will be started when the gong sends Young Roache and Young Griffo to the line. Roache has gained many admirers by his showing against Willie Shugrue in their re- cent Casino, and many are predicting a successful ring career for the youngster. Griffo, however, is also a swift boy on his feet and has an un- limited supply of steam at his com 1nand. He entertainS no doubt on the result of the mill.
