This fact guaran- tees an honest effort on the, part of the boxers to give the fans a run for their money and assurance of clean brand of boxing. Arthur N. Pilz, as announcer, will tell the crowd who's who"
 Well Balanced Card.
 The card appears to be a well balanced one. In matching Silent Mike" and Russell, the management Of the club has completed a task that had been in the works for several months. Russell is regarded as one of the hardest hitting middledeights in the state and his record indicates that he has attained marked degree of success in recent years. Mike is also a slugger with a deal of science in addition. Dopesters pick the local mute to carry off the honors. although it is realized that to take Russell he will have to show the best that is in him.
 "Si!cnt Mike" Confident.
 Mike completed his training yester- day afternoon with a short workout at the Tabs rooms. He is resting today. He will enter the ring weigh ing 1858 pounds and with every con- tidence of stopping the Norwich lad. From the training quarters of Rus sell at Valley Balls, D. l. word comes that Russell will have heavy backing for knockout over the local deaf and dumb battler He is expected to tip the beam at 152 pounds.
 Midgeon-Lee
 The semi-final will mark the return to the ring of Jack Midgcon, who performed with a marked degree of
 
 ring The boy from Dublin Hill will be stacked up against Soldier Lee, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., but now living in Plainville. This is the first appearance in Connecticut ring for Lee. Lee and Midgeon are slated to go eight rounds at 145 pounds Midgeon has large fol- lowing of local fans who will be on hand. Lees circle in Plainville will be represented well, a block of seats having been allotted to his followers.
 "Prelim" Looks Good.
 The preliminary go is expected to be one of the hardest fought matches eyer staged in this city Ktson and Lynch have battled two draws. In order to forge ahead in Connecticut boxing circles the Kensington lad and his Silver City opponent realize that they must establish superiority and both are out to do so tonight Lynch has more experience in, professional boxing circles.

 Kick Will Improve Game

New Haven, Conn. March 13.--The change in the football rules abolish ing thefree trial for goal after touch down was commented on her today by Professor Clarence W, Wendell, chair man of the Yale Board of Athletic Control, as follows:
 Tt will be q great improvement to the game.

GIBBONS AND GREB AWAIT TIMERS GONG
St. Paul Boy Is Favored to Beat
 Pittsburgh Battla

! New York, March 1a.-Tom Gib- bons member of the iightinE Gibbons family Of St. Paul, and Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, familiarity known 10 ring followers as the smoky City Bcarcat," who will clash tonight in the feature bout at the Madison Square Garden ring, completed thelr training yesterday and announced themselves in lighting trim for th@ contes; which is scheduled to go flf- teen rounds to a decision. They weighed in at l75 pounds at ? o'clock today.
 In spite of tho fact that no par ticular title hinges on the outcome of tonight's battle, no other bout since the inception of the Walker law and few championship bouts, in fact, have I~.tracted such widespread interest among fight fans. There has been a tremendous scramble for seats and it is estimated by the promoters Of the affair, the New York Free MIX fund, that one of the largest crowds that ever crammed it's way into the famous arena will be on hand when the first blow is struck.
 Keen Rivalry Exists. One reason assigned for this inter est is the rivalry that exists between the two boxers, and the fact that they have met on three previous oc- casions without either gaining a de- cisive victory. Another reason is that Gibbons now that the Wills-Dempsey fight has been placed in a temporary background by the wave of protest that greeted rumors of it's making, is looked upon as likely opponent for the worlds heavyweight champion in | the immediate future.
 As result of the discrepancy in the weights of the two boxers Gib- bons being expected to tip the beam at 172 pounds and Greb ten pounds tighter, the St. Paul fighter has been made the favorite in the betting that has preceded the bout. Yesterday the odds were quoted at s to ,, but it was pre- dicted that they would go up to to 1 before the opening of hostili- ties. With so much at stake, 1t is generally predicted that Gibbons will not be satisfied with a mere decision,
 
 which would boost his stock consd- erably. Greb's supporters, however, call attention to the fact that in their
 last bout in Pittsburgh, Harry wealth cred through the first few rounds and then outpointed Gibbons in the latter part of the battle.
 Gibbons Is EaVoritc. Gibbons has made a favorable inn pression on local fans by his punch ing power displayed in his training. His last important ring engagement was in Boston when he scored a knockout over Pat Mccarthy. Grcb
 likewise made profourrS impression on New York fans in his bout with Charley Weinert in tie Garden ring several months ago.
 The first bout is scheduled to start Ut S:15 and the main event at 10 o'clock The unreserved seat sale will open at 5:30 D. m and the doors will be opened at 6:30 D. m.
 It was announced yesterday that lack Dempsey would be among the spectators at the bout, the champion having arranged his theatrical work

CHIS0X BEAT GIANTS
American LcaGucrs Win Second of Exhibition Series. t-3--PitcherS Do Some Mighty Nifty Mound Work.

New York, Marvin 13.--In San An tonic. the Giants are boosting of a pitching find in spite of the fact that they lost to the White Sox yesterday, 4-3 He is Claud Jonnard, last years strike out king of the Southern league with Little Rock He hurled three brilliant innings and did not al- low a hit or a run, and struck out two men.
 Red Faber and John Russell for the White Sox were too fancy Tn their pitching stunts and the Giant batters could do no better than four hits and a lone run in the eighth inning. Their belated rally in the ninth was choked off by Russell after the Giants got after the White Sox hurler for three hits and two runs. Russell promptly stopped stumbling right there and retired Frank Frisch entering ns n pinch hitter, and Ralph Shinners, the home run hero of Saturday.
 The Giants had to go into the game without the services of Frisch, who developed a strain where his ap- pendix used to be and was not fit for duty in :he field.

 One of the Reasons Advanced
 Paris, March 13.-(By the Associat- cd prcss) The Olympic games for 1924 have again become q subject of controversy and many friends of athletics fear they may not be held il France owing to the city of Paris

 municipal councils iGsistencc that the
 games be held in pershing Stadium, which the Olympic committee abSo- lutcly refuses consent to on the
 ground that it is an inadequate field for such sports. The French Olympic committee favored the Pare des
 Princes near the Bois de Rouognc. Before the councils vote of yester- day NJ. Autrand, prefect of the Depart of the Seine, read q letter from Count Clary, president of the French Olym- pic executive committee, stating that unless the Pare des Princes site was permitted the committee would with draw entirely, leaving the 1924 games lin the hands of the international Olympic committee.

Visitors Prove No Match for
 Hardware City Quintet

The New Britain Kaceys again took the measure of the New Haven
 Kaceys at the State Armory. winning an interesting game last Saturday
 night, 41 to % At times there were plays that tended to keep the audi ence awake, and another part of the game that served to the same purpose was the blowing of the whistle on
 many occasions for fouls. The Elm
 City players were found guilty on 34 occasions, of infractions of the rules
 and this caused the banishment of
 SchatZman, one of the stars of the
 visiting team early in the second half.
 Several others of the visitors should
 have been put out by the same route. Angelo Does Well Angelo did the best work for New
 Haven, particularly in the second half, when he accounted for five field goals several of them being. spectacu- lar. Fitzgerald also earned the right to keep his uniform for another game at least.
 Locals Get Going
 Tedder Kilduff and Johnny Sheehan were the chief scoring factors for the
 locals, gaining the greater part Of their points in the second half. It was mainly through Sheehans foul tossing that the New Britain team kept in the running in the first 20 minutes, the inability to find the basket for field goals resulting in the locals account | ing for but three field goals Sheehan on the other hand scored nine points from the foul line, besides missing eight other tries.
