RING GOSSIP
 -by- BILL HIGGINS
CAN JACK KELLY?
 WILL EDDIE LORD?

There is always something doing in the boxing gamesto occupy the mind of the boxing fan and he is forever, as indeed is his inalienable right, expressing his opinion of this or that.
 If it isn't Jack Sharkey or Primo Camera, or Jack Dempsey, or Tom my Louehran, or Jimmy McLarnin, or Al Singer, who is being praised or banned, then it is usually one of the local leather tossers.
 Locally, however, right now there are two questions being buffeted about on the seas of speculation by the boys who give up at the box office. The two questions are: Can or cannot Jack Kelly go the entire route with James J. Braddock at the New Haven Arena tonight? And: Will or will not Eddie Lord give Ralph Lenny an interesting nights work when they meet next week in Hartford?
 Opinions on these two points seem to be widely divergent. There are both the inevitable "yes" and the mo" fans.
 John J. Fightfan and Co. will not have to wait long for the answer to the first question. Kelly, who has
 
 fighting in New Haven, goes to the post down there tonight against the most formidable foe he has been asked to face to date. 1t goes with out saying that Kelly is very much the underdog in the pre-bout rating of to-night's scrap with Braddock But, if memory serves us correctly, the Brooklyn Lith was not conceded chance of getting by the third round of his first fight with Al Gain- or, in New Haven last year. Kelly may pull the same surprise tonight and while we are not making any predictions it would not surprise us in the least if he did. And if he does go the distance he has an ex- cellent chance of copping the duke, as Braddocks boxing is notoriously poor. His great ring record having been built entirely on his punching ability.
 Arguments and discussions on the second question, concerning the Lord Kenny bout. will continue un- abated for at least another week. as these two worthies do not tangle until one week from tomorrow night.
 Many Waterburians feel that Kenny is just about the classiest ring performer since the days of Benny Leonard. Others think that Lord, who recently won quite handily from Ray Miller. will more than hold his own with Lenny. You run into one enthusiast who thinks that Lenny will left hand Lord bleary- eyed. An other feels that Lord is just the right opponent to decide once and for all, as far as Connecticut is concerned, whether or not Lenny Is half the fighter his bouts in this state would lead you to believe he is.
 Regardless of who the winner of the bout may be. it is our humble opinion that Lord will prove equal to the important assignment given him by Promoter Ed Hurley.

San Francisco when Bucky used pitchers borrowed from Beaumont of the Texas league, the club walked through their coast and National league opposition.
 Swell Set of Twilers.
 The Tigers main strength lies in their pitching staff of Whitehill, Sor- rell, Hoyt, Uhle, and Bridges. Sup porting this main cast are Sullivan, Cantrell, Hogsett, Herring and Wy att. These men form a staff of quail ity and quantity and Harris is quoted as saying he wouldn't swap it for any in the league.
 The Detroit infield will consist of Alexander at first; Gehringer at sec ond; Akers at shortstop, and Me- Manus on third. If McManus is not ready to start because of a leg with but four months professional experience. will play third.
 The Tiger outfield will see four recruits in action. Shiver, Doljack, and the spectacular Walker broth CTS. With the regulars, Roy John- son and Johnny Stone, they will form two sets of outfielders, one for left-handed pitching, one for right handed.
 The veteran Waffle Schang and John Brabowski have added a world of strength to the Detroit catching department. Schang is in perfect shape and has been field ing and hitting at remarkable pace.
 Stuck on HOyt.
 Harris is particularly delighted with the form shown by Pitcher Waite Hoyt, one time New York Yankees 'boy wonder" Hoyt, ac- cording to all reports, is expected to win no less than 20 games this season.

From every angle, the fight is the most important of Kelly's entire ca reer and 1t has attracted so much attention, both in New Haven and around the state that bumper gall lery of cash customers is expected.
 Both in Shape.
 To Kelly, it's case of victory or nothing for he has to beat the Jer- sey Jolter to remain a headline fis- tic feature in this state. The Lithu- anian has been working like a beaver in his training at the Pioneer gym in New York and will be in the best shape of his entire career for the bout Braddock, who has done all his work at Stillman's in New York, is also in prime fettle for his debut in this state and has been established an odds-on favorite for victory.
 It will be a battle of terrific right hands for Kelly has shown clearly that he has plenty of heft in that right of his. Braddock, one of the best heavyweight punchers, can't af- ford to take too much for granted or else Kelly. who fights at his best when he is the underdog in the bet ting, Is apt to pull one of the seasons g major fistic upsets. Kelly, a full grown heavyweight, will be benefited greatly by the additional weight and is confident state fans will see far different sort of battler in action than he was when he was fighting heavyweights although only a light heavy himself
 Action Here.
 Al Caro1y has backed his star bout lip with a promising under card which is featured by three eight round bouts, anyone of which would make an excellent semi-fna1. These bouts are lined up as follows: Jack Dudley, Worcester vs Unknown Winston, Waterbury, heavyweights; Irish Tommy Jarrett, New Haven vs Willie Lewis. Stamford, 40 pounds; Romeo Dubois. New Haven vs Har- " Sankey. New York, 13l pounds. Joe Oliver of New Haven and Al Santoli of Hartford meet in the four round opener.
