The New Haven negro will not have more than five or six pounds advantage on Shade, who uses his head for something besides stop. ping punches as his intimates well know. In his two days of training at the Atlas gym, he showed enough class to make him a local choice to outpoint Gainer, who will be in there trying for a knockout, though conceded little chance of landing it on the fast moving, shifty Californian who, on the shifty Californian who, on :. the street, looks more like a university senior than a seasoned professional fighter of 13 years experience, in- cluding 405 contests.
 They'll Fight
 On a number of occasions dur ing the scheduled ten round melee the customers are quite apt to see some hot exchanges as both men are body punchers of the first rank, with Gather, earring the heavier guns. It will be interesting to watch ATS efforts to hang one hard smash on David's lantern jaw which he covers better than a snapping-turtle covereds his neck. Having heard that Gainer and his followers think he is an "o1d man" and ready to be taken" MT. Shade grew several shades of red, but prefers to let his hands do the talking tonight. Gainer always looked like great prospect, but has really proven nothing against the type of opposition that he. has bowled ovver with monotonous reg ularity. Tonight he will have to

 Here Sunday - Clair-
 mounts Play Colts

There win be an important State Soccer league match at Hamilton Park Sunday afternoon bringing together the Waterbury Portu- guese and Bridgeport Swedish boosters. The Eagles were origin ally slated to face an opponent at the out east park, but as the Ports-Swedes game is a state cup event, they get the preference while the Eagles take to the road. Man ager Duke Bawes of the Eagles announced today that he will make an effort to engage Hamilton for the following Sunday.
 Although the South Ends, Wa terbury's major grid representative returns to Thomaston for a game with the Ponies next Sunday, local football fans will not be entirely without an exhibition of the great fall pastime. The Clairmonts and East End Colts are billed to clash at Fulton Park in the feature game, with the mythical junior city title at stake. The Clairmont Aces and Hopevi1le Jrs hook up in the pre-

 Manager Louie DiLeo of the Walnut Hills wants to bring the Hartford Pioneers here on the Sabbath, but he does not want to show at Washington or Waterville parks. The Hills manager may make formal complaint very soon concerning the stunning of his club in their request to use Hamilton Park. He feels that his eleven IS entitled to use the enclosed grid 5ust as much as the South Ends or. other organizations.
 Washington Park will be the scene of another minor engage nent Sunday when Pat Wigglns' pits his Bearcat Aces against the McVerry brothers and their Will low Props. The contest is sche- duled for 1880 o'clock.

Here's what Bob Wilson of the New Haven Times writes of Hill- house: "Em Bowen of HillhOuse Is coaching one of the best teams in the history of the school. The squad Is a fair reminder of the good old days of the Bill COnnel- Tvs, the Morris Frankels and the Dick Muses."
 The New Britain high-Vermont Academy Thanksgiving day game has been postponed following word from the latter institution Tues day. Last season the Vermonters played in the Hardware City for the benefit of the emergency relief fund.

 If Hillhouse stops Jack Gallivan, Hartford fullback, from penetrat- ing its goal line Saturday, it will be the initial time this year the Irisher has been held scoreless |. . All signs of discord which pre- vailed in a few of New Britain's early games completely disap- peared last week as the red and gold ran roughshod over Bulkeley. The latter hold a 6-6 tie with West Haven who shows against Wilby at Hamilton park this after noon. The Crosby second team makes its debut in Cheshire this afternoon in a return tilt with Bob Halls Roxbury Seconds.

to get signatures to make sure that
