,Gelb, who is 24 years of age, won his laurels as a pugilist in his native country in Hungary. He is credited with both the feather weight and lightweight champion ships of that country. As an anna teur the Hungarian Jewish sensa- ton won BPS fights and after this thorough campaign as a simon pure he graduated into the ranks of professional. His record also reveals the fact t hat he annexed three European amateur cham pionships. namely the flyweight, featherweight and lightweight crowns.
 tHe arrived in the United States ] back in 1880 and immediately opened transforming tour of the feat Up until this year when he lost by close margin to Freddie Miller, the present holder of the < featherweight title. His record by far surpasses that of the Connec- ticut lightweight sensation and it is, expected that Gelb will furnish the ultimate test of the colored hash's ability in ring warfare.
 Al Nelson Gainer, who was dis qualified by Referee Billy Taylor for fouling Tony Shucco of Boston im the fourth round of their sched- u1ed 10 round match at the New Haven arena last week, today signed for return match. It was agreed that Gainer would meet Ehucco for the remaining five and two-thirds rounds on the card planned for March IA, featuring Cocoa Kid, the Connecticut light weight sensation, and Miki Gelb, Jewish Hungarian brilliant.
 Get It Over
 The unsatisfactory ending of the Gainer-Shucco bout created no little consternation among state ring officials and promoters who are a unit in declaring that the return bout will go a long way in clearing up bad mess. Gamers willingness to box Shucco is &C., cepted to mean that he is anxious to silence the skeptics who charge that he deliberately fouled out to Shucco. Shucco, on the other hand maintains that Gainer Is made to order for him and that the return meeting will result in a decisive defeat for the New Haven negro
 Eddie Moore of Bridgeport, who fiattened Jack Rcnault on the last card, has signed to box Tony Ben ito, the Worcester Italian battler who made such a hit in his cour- ageous fight with Steve Carr, the Meriden middleweight sensation, op. the same card. Moore and Ben ito promise to favor with an in- teresting slugfest.
