 A. C. at the Y. NJ. T. A. 6 B. so-
 ciety hall Thursday night. are both
 predicting that they will win by the knockout route.
 Kelly fell victim to Flies right
 hand smashes in the second round of their first battle. but he came back,
 few weeks later to have File down for the count of nine eight times in three rounds. Thursday nights battle should be one of the sensa- tions of the year because with two heavy punchers, such as are Kelly
 and Ellie. one or the other is almost sure to go down.
 Both principals arc in fine shape.
 it is reported and there will be no
 alibis for defeat. KellN showing
 much improved form since he won
 the state title. is the favorite in these
 parts while many think that File will
 be too fast and clever for him. The
 bout will be real fight.
 Johnny Clinch. ace of amateur
 battlers. will return to the ring after
 his enforced layoff to meet one of tho
 toughest boys in his division. Hiv
 opponent will be Leo Larrivier of
 Waterbury, who already has a long
 string of knockouts to his credit. Clinch has been training in the guar. tcrs of Louis (kid) kaplan of Mert- den and has been showing great form in the workouts. He will have
 to be at his best to get the better
 of Larrivier tomorrow night,
 Another feature battle carded for
 tomorrow night will be the meeting of Lucien Larrivier of Waterbury. and Herman Fink of Hartford. These two heavies are killing punch-
 CTS and this bout Is expected to bs short and sweet. Larrivier Is con- siderod knockout king in the Brass City but Fink's record shows an im- pressive string of victories over tho
 same route.
 Ray Taylor of Terryville will make his appearance against Joe Dignal. another tough Waterburian. Taylor is one of the most popular fighters to appea" in the amateur tourna- Iments in this city but he has hard row to hoe to turn back the aggres- sive Brass City battler.
