 Both boys have their packers. Taylor with a legion of Hartford ad- New Britain. The old rivalry be- tween the two cities will be boiling over again tomorrow night.
 The card in it's entirety will be an exceptional one for followers of amateur fighting in this city be- cause of the fact that, with the ex- ceptton cf the Clinch-Taylor go and the Frisco -Cavalieri bout, all matches will be in either the mid- dleweight. light heavyweight or heavyweight classes.
 This parade of big fellows should result in plenty of action as as it is novelty for New Britain it is con- sidered the blue- banner tournament Of the year. Cards of this sort in Hartford draw the most interest be- cause of the chances for numerous kayoes during the fighting. In the last one conducted in the Capital City. fans by the hundreds were turned away at the box office.
 Some of the most devastating punchers in the amateur ranks are included in the list of entries. Ed Ellie Of Springfield, Stanley Elem rickle of Springfield. Mike Bielan- ski Of Springfield. Bill Bruno and Walter krass of Windsor Locks, all with a list of knockouts to their credit, are entered in the middle weight class while such men as Vic Carlson of TerryNille. Lucien Lar rivier of Waterbury, Barney Fox of Windsor Locks and others are en- tered in the light heavy class.
 Mike Raffaele of Springfield and Frank Miller Of Bristol are matched for the one heavyweight battle Of the night. Both scale around 2UO pounds. This will be the first lesiti- matte heavyweight encounter seen in this city.
 The first bout of the night will be started about 2 o'clock because of the Ienten services to be conducted in the churches. The starting hour will not then interfere with the Len ten regulations of the fight fans.
