Kid Kaplan, Meriden's cyclonic leather pusher, came one step closer to the featherweight championship last night when he won over Eddie Brady in the Madison Square Garden.
 There was quite delegation. of Silver City fans on hand and they were pleased with the manner in which Louis polished off the Brook lyn battler.
 Champion Johnny Dundee, who headed the card in a muss with Pal Moran gained such an advantage in the early frames that he easily earn ed the decision.
 All-New Britain will mix it with the West Sides Of Hartford tonight at the State Armory. New Britain has one win over the West Sides to it's credit, having taken 45 10 42 overtime game several weeks ago.
 Paul LaHar, former High school star. was the main cog in the scoring machinery that brought victory to the 1lty HNc dI llic ldSI lhStl- ing. He will start the game tonight. : As might be expected, the ''hardy men of the north" are having matters much their own way in the winter sports that make up the present Olympic programs. Specializing in these sports, with every climatic con dition in their favor, this is not sur prising.
 The United States is making a re- markable showing, however. When the field and track events show up, Americas standing should be boosted to the skies. With basketball leagues running in the Y. NJ. c. A. and at the Boys club, and with the city represented by a topnotch outfit, this city is certainly well supplied with hoop tossers.

 It now remains for Joseph Kid" Williams to follow his own precedent | and administer a sound trouncing to Dick" in match game.
 Hadden says he would welcome such a game. So does the "Kid", and there's no reason why the public, whose interest is at white heat CD should not be given chance to watch the champ and the most logic- al contender in action.
 Phil Merriam was slightly off color throughout the tournament. Out of 10 games played. he is credited with one win. This was by default.
