|LABARBA EASILY BEATS KID FRANCIS
 IN GARDEN BOUT
By l.. s. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor )

&
 New York, March 2s.-(UP)- Fidel Labarba of Los Angeles, Calf, won over Kid Francis of Italy in a 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden last night.
 The winner of the Labarba- Francis bout was supposed to stand in direct line. for bout with the champion.
 Battalino was & spectator at last nights bout and when questioned as to his willingness to meet Labarba, adopted 6 maybe will and maybe I won't" attitude.
 Started Even
 The Labarba- Francis fight was one Of the seasons best. They fought on virtually even terms for the first two rounds but by the time the sixth round was reached Labarba was off to such commanding lead that Francis could never overtake him.
 The victory evened the score be- tween Labarba and Francis. They met once before, in Paris, and Fran cis won a debatable decision. This was in 1929 and, they fought as ban tamweights.
 Last nights victory, however, was so decisive that there will be little demand and no need for a rubber contest. The United Press score sheet credited Labarba with having won seven rounds, Francis two, and one even. Labarba held the weight advantage at 125 to 122 1-2.
 Prelilns
 In the ten round semi-final Tony Herrera, the Mexican fighter, who registers from Chicago, won over Hector Mcdonald, from Vancouver, B. c. Herrera weighed 13S and Me- Donald 135 3-4.
 Stanley Poreda, of New Jersey, and Johnny Risko. of Cleveland will meet here in a ten round bout next Monday. It will be the last "big time" New York bout until May.

KELLY SHOWING
 GREAT FORM IN
 GYM WORKOUTS

New Haven. March 28-(SpeciaD A-From a fistic standpoint, March came into New Haven like the pro- verbal zephyr but it will go out like a raging lion cn Monday night when Matchmaker Al Caroly of the Arena A. c. turns loose an assorted collec- tion of first class fighters in the big ring at the sports palace. In all, 38 rounds of boxing make up the prom ising program which is topped by a ten round suffle between James J. Braddock, New Jerseys heavy weight hope, and Jack Kelly, Wat erbury's' hard punching Lithuanian. Supporting his star bout Caroly has booked an excellent under card and everything points to an evening of real action. S
 They'll Be There
 Highly popular with a certain sec- tion of the states ring fans and de- cidedly unpopular with the rest, Jack Kelly will prove a considerable magnet at the top of the card. For, those fans who don't like the Brass City Lithuanian will be on. hand to see him get knocked out by Brad dock, the mauling Irishman, while his supporters, and there are many of them, will be on hand to see their favorite lay out the Celt from Jer- sey. Public interest in the show, the first in the Arena for more than month. is already at a high pitch and Mons Caroly anticipates a bulky and paying gallery.
 By a Knockout?
 General sentiment favors Brad dock to win by an early knockout but quite. few Kelly supporters have developed during the past few days as constant reports Altering out of the Pioneer Gym in New York in- dicate the Lithuanian is confident in his ability to win and will go into the ring in better shape than for any other fight in his entire career. That the Lithuanain is hitting harder tfan ever is indicated by the fact that he has had Roberto Roberti giant Italian heavyweight, on the floor three times in week during sparring sessions.
 The star obut will be a rugged battle between two real kayo punch CTS with the one to get in the first Gamaging blow likely to emerge with the victory. Tickets are on sale all over the state at popular prices
