The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-10-27

Since he first set his brogans in Waterbury, a matter of some ten days or two weeks ago, Conrad has run into some extra-hard luck in the form of two decisions. Against Al Gainer, he was given very much the worst of 1t, in the opinion of 90 per cent of those present when the affair was called even Stephen. Last Monday night in Holyoke, the referee voted for him against Adolph Heuser of Germany, but two judges at the ringside gave the bout to the Ger man amid the walls of Nick Nor- ris who could be heard in Bos- ton.
 The Big Idea
 At any rate, Conrad is taking the right slant at himself. He fig- ures those two decisions are be- hind him and he is concentrating on the work at hand, with his ob- jective laid out as knockout Of Carr, just as soon as Otto Oppor- tunity permits him to sneak in one or two of these powerhouse rights that put Gamer on the can- vas twice as though he were struck by lightning.
 In contrast, Carr has been belt- ing his sparring mates around this week at the Phoenix gym, but also keeping the left side of his face in close. If he doesn't forget that little thing when the going gets hot tonight, he may even come through with a win, but should he forget, he will probably be report ed tomorrow as having gone good ..-k;1 Cn~,oISo ffrof yi0 landed flush. Carr himself can slug plenty, but his problem Is going to be built around his effort to open Conrad up to "get 8 shot at him. Battling Archie. a 156 pound ne- gro, whom Carr stopped two weeks ago, has knockout over Conrad, which ought to be argument enough that Conrad can be hit hard enough to be stopped cold. At any rate 1t looks like a good fight, if Eddie is allowed to slug as often as he can.
 Rene Peloquin of Danielson and Joe Vignali of Waterbury will re- sume their ring warfare, in a six round number that is expected to be productive of plenty of punch ing. Vignan has beaten Peloquin. but not by any too great a margin. as the French boy is built and fights about the same as the Town Plot young man of iron, the bout will be a survival of the fittiest.
 Classy Kid
 Carmen Knapp, Dick Gray's popular lightweight comes to cuffs with Al Annone of Springfield. A reputedly tough youngster with sizzling left hook. All that is to be hoped for is that Al is nearly as good as Carmen, and 1t will be fight from the first bell. Knapp has done more than his share, by his method of fighting. to make boxing cards on which he has ap- peared worth while from the standpoint of those who "get 1t on the line.".
 RoIlo Rowland. state amateur welterweight champion at one time was headed for a promising career as a pro, when his motorcycle got a decision over him, and he has been more or less idle since. How ever, Rollo. always a good boxer meets Eddie Belrose of Nashua, N. H., tonight in a five round go that may mean more work for the local boy if he can do his stuff in decisive style.
 Good Opener
 Young Santora, New York city, golden gloves welterweight cham pion of 1881, meets Steve Carr oI New Britain in the four round opener. Carr looked good in his last showing here, which was also his first, and if Santora Is as good as claimed, the boys will warm up the patronage in short order. They will start the show at s:So p. m.
