 1O-Round Bout Tonight.

New York, July 10 P)-Given a outdoor season at Ebbets Field will be opened tonight with ten-round struggle between Kid Chocolate of Cuba and Ignacio Fernandez, Fil'- pino featherweight.
 Chocolate. unbeaten in about 150 ring engag gaments, definitely has for saken the bantamweights and cast his lot with the 126-pounders. His battle with Fernandez is the Cuban's S first against tirst-rank feather weight. Although soundly beaten bv Tony Canzoneri in his last start. Fernandez is a dangerous foe for any man his own weight. The Fili- pno jumped into prominence here when he knocked out Al Singer, the BrorX star. when the latter was rid inc the crest of the wave. Fernan- dez hits hard but Canzoneri proved that a good boxer could tie the Fili- rino ;r knots. Whether Chocolate can do the same thing remains to be seen.
 The Cuban flash will be at con- siderable disadvantage in the weights. He probably will scale around 123 while Fernandez's nor mai fighting weight is around 12S pounds.
