arations for a meeting with Russie
Leroy at Fargo on Feb. 10, it was
announced here today.

boxing program here that night.
Since that time the Express has
been confined to his home, but it
was said today that with proper
care he should be able to resume his
gymnasium work within few
days.
Phil Terk, manager of the Silver
Spray gymnasium here, said today
that Petrollc has been working dill
gently since his bout with Sammy
Mandell in Minneapolis last month
and that layoff for four or five
days at this time should not hur'

and weaken the battler, six days o.
intensive drill should be enough t.
have him ready for his meeting
with Leroy, Tcrk declared.

to face Americas best at the pres
ent time and that he would like tim
to get accustomed to board trac

try, made it imperative that

Final Standing
PAINTERS LOSE OUT
Berlin Gridiron Eleven Defeated by Powerful Ierrinsto" West Ends By 10 to 0 Score.

The Berlin Panthers went down to defeat yesterday afternoon before the powerful Torrington West Ends by 6 19 to Q score. The local boys lost no prestige in the fray as the game was marked with many or the breaks which make and break many d game. Two intercepted for ward passes and the recovery of .. blocked kick accounted for the Tor rington scores. It was the old story of a much more experienced team against a less experienced but fight ing elevent.
 The Berlin team on straight foot ball gained more ground than their opponents and the Harrington backs found the Berlin line impregnable. being unable to gain any yardage cessfully complete their overhead game was disastrous to the Panth- CTS who in the other departments Of the game were the equal if not the superior to the Torrington aggrega- tion. The Partners had the edge in bunting, Bourgeois sending his kicks from 40 to 60 yards. Capt. "Hi' Prudhon at center played the game of his career repeatedly smearing up the Torrington plays.
 The Partners are in the field for road games. Their manager is Roy al Holmes of East Berlin. The Panthers played the Middletown Tufts last Sunday to g. tie z to score.
