Both fighters are in that frame of mind that means a tough scrap when they clash in the ring. Rap Ian is on edge at all time while Garcia is surly and vicious The fight will be one of the worst punch throwing affair ever staged In these parts because bad blood exists be- tween the two and they have met three times and know each others style.
 The bout will be the biggist draw ing card ever seen in New England. Although conflicting reports have been received about the seating ca pacity of the new stadium, it is said on good authority that the ultimate capacity will be slightly over 5000. From the way the tickets for the battle have been going, the seats will all be taken, it is thought.
 The first bout will go on at Sis o'clock and the main bout should be fought about 10 o'clock. The Her ald will announce tho blow by blow account of it for those fans who plan to remain at home. The fight will not be announced over the radio except for the results.
 The supporting card is one of the best that could he brought together. The first bought will bring together sammy Mandell and Young Mulli- gan, the latter being considered the best of his class in this state. The next bout will be fought between Eddie Lord of Waterbury, stable mate of Kaplan and Allentown Johnny Leonard while the semi-tinal will bring together Lew Tender, one of the leading welterweights and Meyer Cohen of Holyoke.
 The semi-ffnal is attracting great deal of interest about the state because Tender was a lightweight and Benny Leonard's foremost chal- Icnger before he retired from the championship
