 TOSHOW TONIGHT
Well-Matched Bouts Fea= ture Outdoor Show at the North End Stadium

After a week of rain. there is every indication that the first out door boxing show of the Brass City season will really go on this evening at Lakewood Stadium. With Old Sol breaking through the clouds yester- day afternoon and continued good weather this morning, boxing fans will quite probably be greeted with ideal conditions in which to enjoy the leather mitten sport as it will be presented tonight under auspices of the Waterbury A. C.
 All On Deck
 Up to press hour to-day, the en- tire card from the principals to the preliminary boys was intact and every one of them "rarin' to go." Jack Kelly and Tony Shucco, who will show in the ten round main go have takeen good advantage of the extra week they were given, due to weather conditions, are in first class condition and anxious to go to it. Shucco arrived in Waterbury last night in great condition, figuring that the Kelly bout will set him just about right for another joust with Jimmy Mendes which is on the books for Rhode Island some time next week. The local boy, however, has another bout with Al Gainer in sight, and he just cannot afford to lose this evening. Both are extreme ly hard hitters, and it would be no great surprise if the bout goes less than the distance, as Kelly seems to have found himself, and has been doing some real old-fashioned slug ging for the past week.
 This Looks Good
 Aside from the mani bout, the card does not lack for Diff bang boys. In the semi-final of eight rounds, featuring Marty Fox. the New York Hebrew and Unknown Winston. colored heavyweight who looks very promising, there will be some Al clouting, for both of them can hand it out hard and heavy, with Winston the tougher of the two, and Fox the better hitter.
 Matty Sampson. the Florida finger mixes with Batting Archie in the lone six round go on the card, and It should be humdinger if you are inclined to judge by the showing that each boy has made in his one and only local appearance to date. Sampson beat Ruday Marshall of Stamford at Buckingham Hall IS months ago, while Archie stopped Joe EmmOnS Tn a round several weeks ago. Each boy has strongly indicated he has hitting ability, and against each other, there should De action each and every minute.
 King for a Night
 When Andy Strong fights. it's legal holiday in Washington, Con- necticut. insofar as the sporting gen. try of that hamlet is concerned and for that reason, Washington's repre- sentative citizenry is expected to be at the ringside tonight when An drew trades wallops with Hugo Tenn DO, the Bridgeport bearcat. Strong made heavy impression in his favor few weeks ago, when he pasted gent from Danbury in worthy man. ner. All Andy knows is how to hit, and has the inclination to do it. Tempo is reputed to be tough cus- toner, though Andy's friends are unanimous in the opinion that Hugo will be very much softened up after the fourth round, if the bout gets, that far.
 Joe Arnold and Sailor Danny Mur- phy will open the show in a four round swatfest that looks like plenty of leather. The boys were to weigh in at ? D. m. to-day and wade in at and after S:30 tonight.
