WiIL Stop BOgGsh M z2ROundLin1it,
 Boast or Nelson

When Wildcat Nelson meets Louis Bogash in the star bout at the Casino next Monday night Charley Doesse- reck, manager of the Brooklyn bat tier, in a. mail prophecy to The Times sporting editor. says he is confident that Nelson will be able to stop Bo- gash before the end of the 12-round limit.
 Commenting on Bogash's battle with Soldier Bartfield in the Garden Monday night, Doessereck says: ''If that is the best Bogash can do, he will get the licking of his life next Monday night. Bogash will have to be at his top form if he hopes to hold Nelson even."
 DoeSsereck adds that Nelson is now boxing better than ever before and that he is confident that the latter will get over the big kick that will floor Bogash. Relative to Nelson's S battles with Bartfield. Doesserecll has the following to say:
 '.Bartffeld and Nelson have met twice in no-decision bouts and in both of them Nelson was given the popu- lar decision. These bouts took place when Bartfield was at his best, while Nelson was just climbing the pugilis- ladder. BartfieId has been going back rapidly of late and the sharps who know, did not give him a look in with Bogash, yet the best the latter could get against Bartfield was a draw"

NEW HAVEN
 FIGHT CARD
 IS ALL SET

New Haven-Promoter Maher of the Arena bouts for next Monday has posted forfeits for the weights and appearance of men booked for the show with the Elm City boxing solons.
 Boxing experts agree that the star bout should be a hummer for it is seldom that two rip-tearing fighting feathers such as are Murphy and Josephs are matched and their 15- round setto should be the delight Of all boxing fans.
 Josephs is the Boston boy who gave Al Shubert decisive beating last week in Boston and annexed the featherweight championship of New England by so doing.
 There will be plenty of action in the other two bouts, especially in the Tracey Ferguson of Wallingf and Mickey Dance. the tough battler of Waterbury.

They are confident that no
country boy or girl could fool
them much about gardens and
the things that grow in them.
Under the supervision OF
Father Knickerbocker, thousands

mer cultivating little gardens in
city parks. Some Of the gardens
have more than 1000 individual
garden plots. Each with a little
farther or farmerette in charge.
There are row after row OF
beets. carrots and sweet corn and
tangles OF tomatoes with red
fruit peeping out from the sur
rounding greenery. The farmer
cites usually have a fancy for
a patch Of gay colored flowers in
one corner of the plot. The
farmers run more to raising more
substantial things, something
that can be eaten.
Those who have had previous
experience in gardening are al
lowed to devote their entire plot
to raising their favorite vege-
tables. But the beginners have
to go in for diversified crops.
The two Fiorentino sisters.
Josephine and Rookie, are famous
gardeners in their neighborhood.
But Josephine believes the sue
culent cabbage Is the only vege-
table worthy of an experienced
farmerette's attention. Rookie,
who Is equally experienced,
yearns for the juicy tomato and
cultivates her plot accordingly.
Thus the Fiorentino family is
assured a good supply of both
vegetables.
The rivalry between children
and neighborhoods is keen. There
are prizes given at the close OF
the season for the best attend
ance, the best kept plots and
the best specimens of yege-
tables.
Mrs. Fannie Parsons. super
visor Of parks, understands the
psychology of the Juvenile gar
dener and there are enough prizes
so that no district can fail to get
at least one. Mrs. Parsons is 20
years old and nearly blind but
she visits the parks and super
-yises the work Of her score Of
assistants every day.
