S0UTAPAWS MEET
 0N MONDAY NIGHT
Frankie O'Brien and Al Mello to
 Battle in Hartford

Hartford. June 1-Southpaw vs. southpaw and for title! That is the curious situation that will obtain as Frankie O'Brien of Hartford and Al Mello of Boston clash at the Hartford Velodrome next Monday night for the middle weight championship of the New England states.
 Southpaws have been in battles for ring titles ere this, but there is no recollection of titular scrap in which the boys flung their punches from the port side.
 This meeting of 8 pair of left handlers in an important bout has resulted in a feverish search on the part of both camps for southpaws to serve as training partners in the prc-battle period.
 Denny McMahon of Meriden, who now has Frankie O'Brien un- der his wing and to whom goes the credit for O'Brien's great improve ment the past six months, has rounded up three portsiders for the Hartford boys daily workouts.
 They are Harry Martone of New ark, well known in Connecticut rings: Baby Doll of Waterbury and Joe Smith of Hartford, who is in one of the bouts on the Mcllo- O'Brien undercard
 And then to round out this group of southpaws, "Pinkey" Kaufman, former state amateur welterweight champion and boy who is fast climbing the ladder in the pro ranks, IS boxing left-handed in his daily workout with O'Brien.
 Mello. too. is surrounded bv left handlers as he makes ready up at Boston for his "shot" at the New England title. Al is eager to estab- fish a. sound claim 10 the cham pionship, now vacant. and wants 10 score decisive win over the Hart ford claimant
 Mello's camp expects his superior experience and greater ring smart ness will overcome OBrien's rug gcdncss. undisputed courage anl terrific punch.
 A few months ago the Mcllo camp would have regarded O'Brien as a set-up," but Frankies clean- cut victory over Harry Ebbets served notice on tho boxing world that the Hartford middleweight is coming fast.
 Mickey Roberts, former Hartford amateur bantamweight and now just returned from Detroit where he fought successfully as a pro. and Johnny O'keefe, Hartford feather. have joined Denny McMahon's stable down at Meriden. bringing the total to IS.
 Bat Battalno, former national A. A. |. featherweight champion. will box on the popular priced card 10 be offered at the Hartford Vclo- drome June II.
