FOUR SEMSA HONAL BOUTS
 ON TUESDAY NIGHT CARD
Hart and Paluso Both Getting Ready for Stiff Battle Rose and Ray to Meet in Semi-Fina-Leonard and Thomas to Appear in Slashing Eight Rounder Curtain Raiser to Be "Grudge' Fight-Demand for Tickets is Heavy.

The wise bird who warbled the in formation that Tit never rains but 1t pours" must have had in mind the deluge of delightful bouts in store fo. local fans on next Tuesday nigh: at the Tabs hall under the auspices 0. the newly formed Hardward Ath- letic club of which Patsey Bridget the popular local sportsman IS the promoter and Leo Bradley Of Meri dan. the matchmaker
 Alex Hart, the sensational Phila- delphia lightweight and the equally brilliant Lou Paluso from Salt Lake City, who meet in the feature tussle, listed for ID rounds. are, according to information at hand, in strict training for this encounter. Hart who is pilotei by the astute Jimmy Daugherty, better known a.s the man who acted as referee in the Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter fight at Jersey City a few years ago, is preparing for the fight at Jack Blackhurn's gymnasium at Phila- de,phia. He takes part daily in spirited workouts with such out standing performers of the profess sion az Benny Bass, Tommy Herman and Lew Tendler.
 Harts exploits of the past four years have been such that he Is feared by every lightweight in the land. According 10 advance dope, h ,e ha- rI nd often and is never happy unless he is taking a sock at some worthy op ponent Hart has met and defeated the best Of them in the lightweight division. One has but to consult the .Everlast Boxing Guide of 1927, where his record is to be found, if they have any doubt as to his ability.
 In two Of his most important fights, he gave the great Joe Dun dee a terrible going-ov in IS round bouts, winning the referees decisions very handily. Then just to show that his victories were not Of the "fuky" kind, he took on Rocky Kansas Lew Tendler, Jimmy Goodrich, Sailer Friedman. George tk-O) Chaney, Danny Kramer and Johnny Dundee in successive bouts and treated them to artistic trim mings.
 Connecticut boxing fans need no introduction to Paluso. This fast stepping youngster who Xon his way into the hearts of Cohnecticuts fistic population, in slashing battles with Louis (Kid) kaplan, Mike Dundee and others, is no bargain for anyone in the lightweight class. Anyway. 1t shapes up like great fight and a capacity crowd is ex- pected to sit In on the doings.
 The appearance Of Charley Ray, the Philadelphia fiyweight sensation and Minty Rose of Atlanta, Georgia, the home of Young Stribling, in the semi-fnal also listed for 10 rounds, will mark the first showing Of either boy in this city, but glance at their records will surely satisfy the most skeptical that they are all that Matchmaker Bradley claims for them.
 By way of conditioning himself for this most important encounter, Rose dropped into Lynn, Mass, few nights ago and handed the highly touted Ruby Bradley nice two- handed whipping and won the referees decision.
 Bradley like such other good boys as Wee Willie Woods Elky Clark the British flywcight champion. Pinky May and Tommy Hughes, was unable to turn back this latest sen sation in the fyweight ranks.
 Ray, from all accounts. Is the classiest piece Of fighting flesh to be found anywhere at the weight and the fact that he has beaten some of our best weights is ample proof that he is a fighter Of the highest ranking. The fur is sure to fly when this team starts throwing gloves
 "sheik" Leonard and Kid" Thomas, the local entry in the vel terweight division. are expected to whale each other right out Of the picture when they mix things up Tn the special 3 rounder on the card. Heavy seeking is what can be ex- pected from this team.
 Frankie kudlo Of Mcriden and Johnny Mack Of New Haven a pair or fighting gamococks, will open the show In q 4-spot.
 One Of the outstanding features In connection with the card is that the prices are within the reach of every- body. The tickets were placed on sale yesterday at Promoter Brid- 2ett's Smoke Shop where they can be secured. A heavy demand for them has been made ever since the show was announced and from all ....:L c-1.-I:A .,..ll
