 Today's ameg will be awaited ~''n great interest by all those interes''o in inc hieb school and 1t is the nope of inc hand of loyal rooters that 'hc local boys will come out on top III the tilt.
 Louis (Kid) Kap,an of Meridtn' feotherwcght champion Of the world. will defend his title against Nobbv Garcia, Camp Holabird, Mo- soldier at the Queensbury stadlu'l' on Long Island Juno 1. rms poo' was approved by tho New York boH- ing commission yesterday and Gar" cia has been named as substitnlo to Johnny Dundee, former cham rior who has suffered an injury to his ankle.
 Garcia will prove to be the tough ost proposition kaplan has met IT some time, His last appearance IT Hartford against Johnny Drew o' Holyoke gave the fans in this sec t,on A good idea of the type o' Aahter which he represents. H' and KapIan are somewhat the same style of battlers and they will giN' inc fans who see tho bout something 10 talk about between now ana th' date set for the milling.
 There are many fans In this stat who. after seeing Garcia put DreV almost out in their battle in Hart ford, favor the soldier 10 defeat th' champion, but he will have 10 nsh much harder against Louis than h' did against Drew to win the hght If appears to us that a fighter 0 Drew's type, always boring in, vii have something 10 stop him whe' kaplan starts shooting his punche at him. kaplan is developing hard drive that is putting them f. sleep and he will be able to hur Garcia.
 Tommy Burns of Detroit has bee substituted for Ad Stone 10 mee Jack Delaney in Humbert Fugazy bout at Ebbct's field in Brooklyn O May ?6. Burns is conner In th ranks and one that will give th Bridgeport battlcr good go.
