Two things are to blame. Our

They see their neighbors getting

 Argentinian-lO Rounds

Bridgeport, June 24.-Humberto Curi, the latest of foreign heavy weights to seek glory and gold in America, faces stiff test at Walnut Beach on Saturday night. He will take on the rugged Jack Kelly of Waterbury in a ten round feature tussle.
 Two weeks ago, the Argentine warrior eliminated one Brass City threat when he belted Tut Jackson out of the picture in four heats. He will probably have more trouble with the more experienced Kelly Curi has won his last nine fights in the United States.
 Trenton Vaughan of Tampa, Fla. and Nick Christy of Bristol will clash in a six rounder, while Jimmy Bones, the Bridgeport dancing mas ter, will return to the wars in an other six round event against the rugged Phil Baker of Norwalk.

 PIay-Off Today
 The other position on the Yankee team will be filled today. Henry Cuici, Stratford, Conn, Denny Shute, Hudson, Ohio, and Frank Walsh, Morton Grove, III, who were tied for fourth place with BOP strokes each, will play an 18hole round to decide the honor.
