. But one obstacle looms up. That's Louis Bogash's declaration that he will not fight in Bridgeport.
 No Guarantees to Boxers.
 If there are to be any more open air shows staged this season it is cer- tain that the Bridgeport A. 6, C. mo- guls will carry out their program on the same lines as laid down by the New York State Boxing Commission. i. e..-an boxers to be paid on the percentage basis.

Joe Smith, Louis BogaSh'S man l ager, on his recent trip to New York to confer with Leo Flynn regarding the proposed bouts, was told by Rick ard there will be no guarantees for boxers at Garden shows next winter no matter who they are, Champion Johnny Britton ct al included.

Bogash Camp
 s'BOmbed'' By
 Al Jennings

Al Jennings, manager of Jack De- laney, has drawn the color line. In a letter to the sporting editor of the Times, Jennings states he turned down an offer to box Panama Joe Cans in Boston
 Jennings also hurls another grenade into the Bogash camp in a fiery epls- tie, which follows:
 'I read in the Evening Times that Joe Smith wants one-third of gross receipts ito let Bogash box Delaney and guarantee of $2.500. stipuladng Delaney must weigh 155 pounds and Bogash 147 pounds.
 t'The only scales Bogash will be able to weigh 147 pounds on will be scales that won't have a weigh-in ca pacity of over AT pounds.
 Delaney cannot make 155 pounds, but will bet S20O that Delaney can come nearer the 1853 pound mark than Bogash can come to 147 pounds.
 "I asked Bob McCurdy and also Mclean, both of Boston. to stage a Bogash-Delaney contest in Boston and be an attraction in Boston any more after the contest he put up last Fri day with Tillman, but both of these matchmakers will give me an offer ture.
 smith and Bogash know what will happen to Louie if he ever gets into a ring with Delaney. They don't want any part of Jack and have | avoided making a match by asking Delaney to get to a weight that Is | inn ossible for him to do. Why, Bo- gash would have to do Aome haru work himself in order to make the weight Joe Smith wants Delaney fc make.
 ''I wifi let Delaney box Bogash winner take the 50 per cent Of gross receipts offered by Connie Lewis, so Bogash, crawl out of your hole and grab some soft money for yourse'Ves | by defeating this crude young man | Jack Delaney.
