Jimmy Clinch's next fight will bc on February II, at the Foot Guard armory In Hartford. Ills opponent has not yet been selected though he might be the champion of tho 1s5 pound class In the last tournament. This has not been settled definitely yet. but tho man whom ho will meet will be selected in a short time.
 A thousand pardons are due from us to Jack Fitzgerald. Our atten. ton has been called to the fact that we stated fin these columns that Teddy Hayes" was tho trainer of Jimmy Clinch, Now, it's a funny thing, but we don't know who Teddy Hayes" whom we had reference to the other day Is, while we do know Jack Fitzgerald and we have known all along that Fitz- gerald was the trainer of Clinch. The fog that descends on the mortal sphere must havo hit into our brain the day on which we wrote about Teddy Hayes" and we assure Jack that we won't make the mistake again.

Jack Fitzgerald Is the man who has brought Clinch to the fore as an amateur boxer and it has been through his untiring efforts in be- half of the localboy that Jimmy now stands on the threshold of the l2S pound state championship.

Dawson right now is about as clever a boxer as there is in the amateur fight game in the state. He hasn't a terrific sock in either hand but naturally is shifty and quick His followers arc confident that if he meets Clinch, he will cut the To- cal boy to ribbons by his rapicr thruSts.
