BIG CHANCE COMES FOR LARRIVEE NEXT
 THURSDAY EVENING
Negro Is FavOrite But Local Boy Is Ready McLarn Meets Other Larrivee in Semi=Final Bout

At the cross roads of his rather sensational leather career, Leo Lar rivee of this city is determined to get past the greatest obstacle of his career, Thursday night in Bucking- ham hall. The "obstacle' is none other than that "black shadow of Gonnecticut's clout centers. Al Galn- CT of New Haven, whom the ambi- tious French Canadian boy faces In the main bout of ten rounds, before what the promoter hopes will be full house.
 All To Gain
 A defeat at the hands of Ganer will not seriously handicap Larri- vees future career, unless he is beaten so badly that his spirit will be broken. That almost happened when he suffered his first knockout at the hands of Eddie Adonis. It took Leo long, long time to get his bearings. but he has now reached a point where he is ready for bigger and better game He will be facing one of the hardest and fastest punch CTS to show in these parts In ten years, man who will have five or six pounds weight advantage on him, a longer reach and who would ra- tEer fight than eat. On top of that, Gainer has shown unmiStakablc signs of what the boys call 'guts' and if Leo can get past all of thls, he is certainly to be chased as a miracle man, as well a. the holder Of three state titles. It can be done, and Lco's body attack is what can do it, if he gets the breaks" in punch ing and can keep his chin out of the way for a sufficient length of time. On paper, the scrap looks to be of q sensational nature.
 Slam -Bang-BiT
 That semi-final go of six rounds should prove something to tell your grandchildren about if the writer has Lucien Larrivee and Jerry McLarn of " atertown figured correctly. Neither one of them would get 30 per cent fer what they know about boxing, hut they can get 105 per cent for their hitting powers and willingness to mix it". A knockout is most like lv in this bout, and if that doesn't happen too soon, It should go down ir local leather history as one fight that fans like to recall.
 That able and clever young man from New Haven, Jack "Red' Knight hooks up in sixer with a newcomer, Jack Levine of Fall klNcf. IT 1tcu SHOWS any tnihS o' t''' ability he exhibited in his last ap- pearance in this city, MT Levine is in for d rough evening, for Knight can hit with the best of them. Carmen Knapp, the young Elm City firebrand goes to the post with Nanny SouZa of Fall River in six round go. If the Bay State lad likes to fight, Knapp will give him plenty of ac- ton and it will be worth while. Tony Laverio of Bristol and Billy Husted of Bridgeport open the show Tn four round go that is said to be nrnniSinp.

The seven days of grace granted Joe Jacops manager of Max Schme- ling. by the New York boxing con- mission in which to answer ''yes'' or mo" to it's demand that the Ger man agree at once to defend his championship against Jack Sharkcy of Boston, end tomorrow. The com mission also meets tomorrow and Jacobs will be there
 Unless Jacobs has sudden change of heart he will tell the com. missioners that he would much pre- fer to wait until 90 days before tine date set for ti,le match and then sign to meet the outstanding con- tender.
 Some Smart People.
 It has been Jones' contention all along that though the commission CTS were all very smart men, indeed. they were not quite smart enough to peer into the future and name the leading challenger four months in advance.
 Jacobs answer will likely result in 8 great big bout by the commits sioners and the announcement. that so far as New York and affiliated states are concerned, the heavy weight championship Is vacant, and Schmeling is nothing more than an earnest German lad with fair left hook.
 Some say that Stribling and Car nera will meet in Miami, with the winner 10 meet Schmeling in Chi cago where his title will be recog- n:zed by the National Boxing asso- citation.
 Others Insist that Camera will not enter into the scheme of things and SchmelinE and Stribling will meet in Soldiers field, Chicago. in June.
 Out Of New York.
 The only thing everybody agrees upon is that Chicago is likely to see the next heavyweight title fight. Jacobs makes no bones about the fact that he would like his man to meet Stribling in the western city. When you remember that Nate Lewis, on behalf of the Chicago Stadium corporation has offered Schmeling $50O.00O for such a bout, you can't blame Jacobs.
 Too, Stribllng is quite popular in Chicago as result of his quick Knockout of Won Porat and a de- cision over Griffiths. The two boys would draw a nice gate and that's more than you can say for Schme- ling -Sharkey bout here. Your fight fan is glutton for punishment and has very poor memory, but he probably still remembers the miser- able exhibition the Dutchman and the Boston boy staged here last summer. In case he has forgotten me papers would soon remind him.

THE STANDING
Forbes Brilliant
 as Eagles Score

New Haven, Conn, Jan 5.-fUP) One Of the greatest gOal-tending performances ever seen at New Ha- ven Arena was given last night by Jakie Forbes, acrobatic net hinder for the New Haven Eagles, when the Eagles turned back the Philadelphia Arrows 10 in an exciting Canadian American league hockey game.
 The diminutive Forbes, who set a new league record of 72 stops at Boston Saturday night, halted 54 shots from the sticks of the Phila- delphians. Boucher scored New Haven's goal early in the second period on a pass from the backboards by Chouinard. Near the end of the period, with Radley and Jeremiah, New Haven defensemen, in the pen alty box, the Arrows sent four men up the ice and bombarded Forbes with shot after shot from close in. He stopped the mwith his hands, his elbows. his pads and his stick and when he lost his stick he dropped to the ice and caught the puck like d bounding ball,

By United Press

The Detroit Falcons moved to within one point of the third place Rangers in the American group of the National league last night by de- feating the Chicago Blackhawks 2 to 1.
 The game was hard-fought from start to finish. In the third period when a Chicago player was sent to the penalty box the indignant crowd stopped the game by tossing apples into the arena.
 Aurie and Lewis were the Detroit scorers, while Cook, center, tallied for the losers.
 Philadelphia's weak Quakers were pushed further into the cellar by the New York Americans. The Americans had little difficulty in winning to o. Less than 5000 spectators watched the game.

Green and White Register 4l=32 Win Over Warren Harding-Play Westfield Wednesday

Jimmy Tracy, stocky center of the Wilby court combine, was the whole works in the Green and White tri- umph over Warren Harding here Saturday night in a Naugatuck Val ley league game. When the final score was announced the proteges of Jimmy Lee were on the long end of 41-32 count.
 "Blue-Jay" Tracy had big night scoring 15 points the majority of which resulted from the bucket" play which he played to perfection. Captain Bill Dwyer played one of the best defensive games of his ca rees and constantly fed his forecourt mates with excellent passes which resulted in many scores.
 The win was Wilby's third in six starts. Their next encounter will be Thursday night when they meet St Mary's of Westfeld. Mass in Vest field. The Bay State team is repre- scented by another reputable team which annually gives the Green and White plenty of trouble.
