On State Boxing Front
 Just when ringworms around these and other parts were wonder ing when something interesting was going to happen fin Connecticut rlngdom, out pops two interesting angles, worthy of bit of comment. The first, and more important to Waterbury fight fans is the am nouncement by that portly puryeyor of pugilistic programs, Al Weill that he has signed Leo Larrivee and George Courtney for return bout, which will open the White City stadium at Savin Rock next Thurs day night. One thing about that announcement is certain, and that is every Waterbury fan who can possibly scrape dollar or two to- gether will be on hand to see Leo and George gc again. for their last setto in this city. May 12. last, was one for the book. If New Ha- ven fans can be convinced of the worth of the bout, and there's no doubt here on that point, MT Weill can look over the long,, light cigar at a 'house" of about 5000 custo- mers on opening night. The bout is really hummer and should do plenty of business.
 Just when things in general were bit quiet in the vicinity of Uncle Tom Donahuc's office, along comes Patrick J. DcPasquaIc of Hartford with the statement that Donahuc was trying to force him to resign as deputy boxing commissioner of the Insurance City. After being "in'' for some time, Patrick very cncr- getlcally "tells on the teacher" in q statement to the Hartford press in regard to q thing or two that has happened, which was not exactly kosher, according to him, in par ficular, some conversation that he claims to have overheard in cOnncc- tion with the Deianey-Onc Punch William bout of many weeks ago. Everybody who gave n thought tO the affair at all probably figured that Delaney would "bag' the bout, and Williams, q very Obliging gem tleman of color, was most accom- modating to aid Jacks 18th ''comc- back" attempt. However, De Pas quaIc Is quoted as saying that he told Donahuc what he heard and was told ito forget It." As though that's something to get excited about. It's happened before and will happen again. After squawking loud and long Dc Pasquale winds up with this classic:"
 "I feel that If you are sincere and honest in the administration or boxing in the state of Connecticut, that you will withdraw your un- warranted and unreasonable re- te hn conclusion of the letter."
 It looks like stonewall Jackson. At Last! Comradc, at Last!
 Those who tried to guess in ad- vance the result of the Strangler Lewis Dick Shikat wrestling match last night by the simple medium of putting two and two together must have been a bit electrified about midnight to learn that the Stranglcr is still good enough to throw these tough young upstrats, and things were decidedly not lined up for another Londos-Shi- kat go for Jim's title. Lewis, by virtue of his victory and the fact that Londos has agreed before the New York Athletic commission to wrestle the winner.s will finally bet n shot at the Greek. after five long years and all sorts of pleas. emontional and monetary. On the level. Lewis will f1atten Londos in jig time, and James well knows, unless he thinks the Strangler is about ripe to be taken. If so, he's got another think coming. It rday not be Lewis turn to take the title yet, but on the level, my ticket Is on the headlock king,
