With Vincent Guillo of Meridcn and Al Gromack of Unionville head. ing the card tonight. ten all-star amateur bouts will be offered to the fight fans at the Stanley Arena by the Stanley A. C. These bouts will feature the appearance of some of the best boys available in the sport and will include some matches that should draw plenty of interest.
 The feature match between Guile and Cromack should be q real scrap. These two boys are natural ring rivals and they are both anxious to win. They are known as heavy h,t- tcrs and both are of the slashing type of fighters who seek only tho. kayo as a mark of victory. They will fight at 130 pounds.
 Several other feature matcheS are planned by Matchmaker c. F. Wag- ner. In the semi-final, Dominick Frisco will face Casey Antelek of New Haven. The Elm City battler appeared here on two former oc- casions and both times he was re- turned the winner over his oppo- nents. He should prove to be tho hardest test Frisco has had in re- cent weeks and he is confident that he will snap the winning streak of the local boy tonight.
 Sunny Boy Hayden. whose string of victories has been heightened to seven bouts in the past weeks. will meet his toughest customer when he faces Jackie Dillon of New Haven. Dillon and Hayden met several months ago and Hayden was aWard- cd q questionable decision over tho Elm City lad. Dillon is out for re- vcnge tonight.
 Another match Of interest is the proposed meeting between Wild Hill' Casey Of North Kingston and Dom Colazo of the Elm City A. (. Both of these boys are murderous punchcrs and they should afford plenty Of action.
 The other bouts on the card will bc formed from among the other entries This will mark the first ap- poarance of the New Haven team in local ring in several months. The Elm City fighters arc known throughout the state as the best 'n tho amateur ranks.
 Other teams entered are New britain. Bristol and Inionville. The first bout will take place promptly at SEQ o'clock.

 Through this triumph, the Bruins, took an undisputed hold on the lea que pionship. They finished first in the American group and the Canadicns led the international sec ton.
 Although the Rangers just open cd the scmi-inal series with Toronto

Three field goals were all that the Phantom basketball team could score against the sterling defense ot the Burritt quintet in the prelimln- ary game at the Stanley Arena Sat urday night and this together with the fact that the Phantoms were off in their foul shooting spelled defeat for that aggregation by 25 to 13 score. By the victory the Burritts' nearest rival for basketball suprem- acy in this city was eliminated.
 This was the second victory in row for the orange-clad team over it's rival. Last week it defeated the Phantoms by one point and lndlca- tions were that the game this week would be 8 closely contested race. but pre- game predictions failed 10 materia liZe.
