Spea kin g of Sports 8

New Britain amateur fight fans are in for an evening of good en- tertaipment at the state armory on Arch street Friday night. The sen- sational bout of all the tournaments here held so far will be the meeting both of Hartford.
 Both of these men have a long list of knockouts to their credit. Terzo is the sensational Italian who, in the last three fights he has had hr'e, has sent out his opponent cold and who never yet has lost a fight in this city. He is the hardest hitting simon-pure fighter the city has seen.
 On the other hand, Ray Hall is terrible punSher. He has sock that is likened to the kick of a mule and when either of these boys land, some one of them is going to fall down. Hal. also has large number of one-round victories to his credit and he is confident that he will finish Terzo in short order.
 Joe Howard the middleweight champion will be pitted against a tough scrapper on the card in what is termed as the star bout. The Big Polish lad who has leaned up the middleweight ranks in this state, is out to meet any one in the state and although it is difficult to find a suitable opponent for him. Match maker J. J. Whaler of the Mohawk A. c. thinks he has boy this week who will make Howard extend him. self to the limit.
