Only the night before last, Rose met Ruby Bradley. called the Dark Cloud" who h1s had long list of victories 10 his credit, and he gave him a scientific facing.
 Ray is considered one of inc toughest boys h the smaller classes. Rose has been fighting steadily in and around New York city and a!- though he is not so very well known 10 local fight followers, his work in handing out iacing to one ot n" leading fighters in the New England states, will bring him fOrcjhly to the fore in his meeting against Ray in this city,
 The main bout on the card for next Tuesday night will bring to- gether Lew Paluso, one Of the famour brothers ot Salt Lake Ciry and Alex Hart ot Philadelphia. tvo llghtweights. This should develop into a sensational set-to because th" fighters are both evenly matched. pa'uso is known to Connecticut fight ans as an elusive and shit'y boxer with hefty sock while Hart. with two decisions over Joe Dundee, light weight sensation is favored in many quarters to score a victory in his first appearance in New Britain.
 Paluso has fought in Connecticut on many occasions. He met Louis (Kid) kaplan in Waterbury q few years ago and there are many who believe that Lew won that fight. Hc has appeared in New Haven. Bridge port and other places in the state. last fall he and his brother Emil fought in Hartford and both won their matches.

 The curtain raiser will also be a hair raiser. Johnny Mack Of New Haven and Frankie KudIo" Of M"r- jden. will settle a logg standing grudee' in their four round fne''li'2' Kudlow was knocked out by Mack some time ago but has always con sidered t to have been a lucky punch that put him 10 sleep. lie has improved by leaps and bounds since that time and he has accused Johnny Mack of "duckinG" him for more than year. As both of these boys are Polish, il will be case ot Greek meet Greek" when they step to if.
