GARCIA VS. kAPLAN
 SET FOR WATERBURY
Slugfest Will Take Place March 20, George Mulligan Announces

Louis tkid) kapian. of Meriden, and Bobby Garcia. of Baltimore, have been matched for a i5-round bout at the Waterbury armory, under the d. rection of George Mulligan, for March 20, it was announced last night from the Brass City.
 According to Waterbury advice Mullisan induced Montieth to take his terms after Andy Chaney, of Baltimore, was first offered as the sacrifice. Mullisan has had Garcia signed for oycrf a week but he was unable to come to terms with kaplan, as the latter. Mulligan claims, asked too much for his services. The story from Waterbury is as follows:
 "In landing this match. Promoter Mulligan signed up the prize bout of the season. kaplan and Garcia have been matched three times in New York rings but for some reason or other each and every one of the bouts has been called off. The Garcia peo- pie claimed that kaplan ran out but the kaplan people on the other hand claimed that there was reasons TOT calling off the bouts--condttions over which they had no control.
 These two boys were also matched to fight in Meriden, so the Bridgeport papers said. but MeMahon said that he offered to fight Garcia for stated sum and that the promoter that wanted to stage the show in Meriden did not care to meet these figures. However, the bout is now on and Wat erbury was the lucky city to land it,
 Bobby Garcia is one of the most sensational fighters of the day. He is called tho Mexican Soldier Bat tier and has gone through the featherweights and junior light weights like water through n sieve, only last week he put Romeo Roche to sleep and any one that can knock this hoy off must have punch.
 "close students of the boxing game have repeatedly said that the man that licks kaplan must have a punch and Garcia sure can sock"
