O'LEARY COMING
 HOME WITH TITLE

Johnny OTLeary, one of the c1ev- crest and hardest punching feather weights turned out by Bridgeport, is due to return home this week from Florida, where the East Slider has been holding forth since October. OI4eary was located at Daytona as matchmaker, while he also, partici- pted in eight bouts, winning seven and drawing the other. One of these vic tories carried the titie of Florida feath erweight champion.
 According to sport writers in Day tona papers OLeary made a big hit al the Florida resort where he is re- garded as one of the best scrappers to come from the north.
 According to Danny O'Leary, Jorn- ny will be in position to take on a bout or so here if there's anything doing in the works" Some time ago Q Young Luby-O'Leary battle was suggested. The pair have never met in the ring. O'Leary also is going to try to get on a go with Kid Kaplan, the Meriden ring wizard
 O'Leary's last ring appearance here was last March when he fought Irish Johnny" Cartin in the semi final to the Delaney-McCIe11and fight. Cur tin was at his best that night and gave O'LeaTy a net trimming, but the local lad, although defeated, won the rep utat1on of putting Up one of the gam est battles ever witnessed here.

Odds Favored Gibbons.

Odds Favored Gibbons.
 The result was decided shock to the vicinity of the Garden. Before the bout they were betting 3 1-2 to 1 that Gibbons would win. When the thing passed the tenth round and ish brown bear paving about aim lessly these business men were feel ing very sick indeed.
 Creb's Marvellous Speed Wins.
 Greb won the fight Through his marvellous speed and his ability to smother the slow but tremendous drives that Gibbons launched.
 Throughout the Is rounds the St Paul man plodded heavily after the flying Greb and was obviously bent on measuring him for a single drive that would end the affair. He tried des- perately but in vain.
 He let. go- nq1mberless drives that would probobly have laid Greb out for the count, but the Pennsylvania whirl- wind was never there to receive them. Greb was a ShadOwy, ,ffaeting mark that danced all over the ring in one continuous and amazing whirligig.
 After each of Gibbons vicious at tacks were launched fruitlessly Greb tore in and tossed a tornado of fists at Tom that seemed to hit him in dozen places at once.
 In the first round Greb sent over a hurricane of smash es to the St. Paul mans jaw that had him groggy. At that moment if Greb had possessed fea1 punch he might have won with a knockout. Gibbons came back strong in the second and turned the tables completely. When this session ended it was the best round Gibbons had, with the exception of the fifth. He did not show to advantage after that until the tenth.
 In the ninth .Greb had Gibbons dizzy under a revolting storm of hoks, jabs, swings and uppercuts that appeared to come from all parts of the compass. The eleventh was even, but Greb came, back to take the hon. ors in the twelfth The thirteenth was even and Gibbons had a shade the better of the fourteenth. The last went to Greb.

The Putnams defeated the Twin Oaks, Friday. by the score of 35 to IT. By doing this the Putnams be- came club champs and also are the city champs. Glenn FultonS bf1I- liant basle: choking enabled the Puts to defeat the Oaks and Salts guard ing was also noteworthy, blocking many sure shots.
 Through the splendid coaching of Jack Dunn the Puts were deVelope ed into one of the fastest court aggre- gations of the city in the junior class Dunn used to play on the old Branford quintet when Happy liar mon was in his prime. They had one of the fastest court aggregations up around that section of Connecti- cut.
 The Y. H. A. thinks 1t will have an easy time defeating the Rectors with the aid of Gordon and Marron in their lineup. but the Rectors have played better teams than the Y. M and have defeated them.
 The Twin Oak Cubs who are city champs in their class defeated the fast Pioneer, Jrs., by the score of 12 to 8. Slim Petrino and August did good work for the Cubs with splendid basket choking.
 The Cubs have Sicilain, Monta naro, August, Petrino, Federico and Fan ming in their champs lineup. They want games to be played at the Club Gym, any Saturday afternoon.
