SHAPING UP FIGHT
 CARD FOR SEPT. 12

A ratt1ing good card of boxing is being arranged by Matchmaker Geo. Dwyer for the next open-air show to be conducted by the Bridgeport A. x A on Sept 12. There's a possibil- ity of settos between Pete Dunn and Ted Coy, while Young Ahearn of An sonia and Jim Bones are likely to be seen in action. The former was booked for one of the former shows to meet Bones, but was forced to cancel the bout owing to an injury
 Dwyer also has hopes of bringing Bud Palmer and Patsy Bogash to- eether For some reason or other the latter has refused to meet Palmer, according to Dwyer, but the latter is hopeful of arranging the card.
 Another bout that looks sweet to Dwyer would bring Young Iuby and Young OI.eary together. Both are clever boxers and box around the 122-pound mark, both carrying knock aeainst Irish Johnny Curtin is not forgotten by the fans, and If the match can be arranged, fans should see a rip-snorting go when these boys meet.
 That Delaney-BogaSh Bout.
 Why don't Louis Bogash consent to meet Jack Delaney? The question will not down. Fans are demanding the bout on all sides and Joe Smith. target for criticism for the attitude he is assuming the matter. De- faney is surely cutting into Bogash' s popularity. One instance showing the pulse of local fight fans on the pro posed bout which Connie Lewis is ready to hang up 50 per cent. of the &ecefpts for Bogash and Delaney Is

Do You Know
 That

JOHNNY FRED" ALLEN is planning for his ring combat by doing a lot of hard work One of Johnny's stunts last week was to engage in a ten-mi1e walking match at Seaside Park. New sport for Allen, and he only lost out by half a lap. When a boxer gets up in the morning to pull off such tunts he's in earnest
 JACK DELANEY is another local boxer who gets in his best training in the fresh air while the day is in it's youth Delaney arises early and runs and walks in the park and on the roadway sometimes covering 10 to 15 miles daily. That's the secret of his success in climbing the champion ship ladder.
 New Haven, who has given local fans sample of his ability in tilts against the Brown Derbies, is temporarily out of the game owing to stomach trouble. The champions are also minus the service of collegian Kline, who is on leave of absence, due to the serious illness of his mother.
 JACK REICH, who is among the giddy throng at Saratoga Springs, in a letter, says 100 to l and 50 to 1 shots are about as scarce there as huckleberries are back in December.
 BOB CHRISTY'S first class work on third base for Worcester is evidence that he is fit for try out with some major league club before the 1922 campaign opens, if the belief of many admirers of the Bridgeport boy. Christy has been one of the mainsprings in the Worcester infield the entire season by his steady and consist ent work.

 of Bridgeport Times:
 I am greauy-intereSted in your articles on fight between Louis Bogash and Jack Delaney. I want to see Bogash take this fight up- His records of the past shows he is a real fighter, so does Delauey'S record.
 I see Al Jennings, Delaney'S manager. is talking big money, but the old greenbackS count. To tell you the truth I do not believe Jennings wants to put Delaney against Bogash and is only after some free advertising.
 I have known BogaSh since he was a "kd'' and I am dead Surc he can trim Delaney at 16O pounds.
 Now. if Al Jennings want to talk fight, I think I can get Bo- gash to quickly sign for a match. TIDtherInore, I am willing to bet S1 900 that BoGash will show De- laney he still has something to learn about the boxing game.
 If Jennings means business let him see me, uIld show me the color of his money.
