Three State Titles at Stake in Amateur Box.
 ing Show in New Haven

New Haven. Jan G--Three State amateur boxing titles---the light weight, featherwelght and welter- weight crowns-wlll be at stake tonight at the Arena where Match maker James l.. (Glg) Carton will present the first simon pure boxing program of the new year. The three headline attractions will show Jackie Pasden, possessor Of tho light weight crown from Water town; Sam GaHlinno of New Ha- ven, state featherweight titleholder, and Nathan Mann, also of this city, who holds the welterweight title. The first bout starts at S:30 o'clock
 It is the aim of Matchmaker Carton in presenting his first pug ilistic offering of the new year, to create a new high standard in simon pure boxing exhibitions, and from the contingent of local and state favorltes ho has selected 24 of the most popular and most pleasing performers. Since there are so many promising young ex- ponents of ring warfare in the amateur ranks today, the compcti- ton has become increasingly keen CT, and titleholders in most cases are supplanted at short intervals. But the three champions that Car ton has lined up for his card to- night are worthy crown bearers, having showed their willingness to defend their lnurels nt each show
 Good Boy.
 Jackie Pasden, who halls from Watertown, has defended his crown at each of the shows that he has participated in since he was awad- ed the title about two months ago. Tonight 1t appears he will be con- fronted with the toughest bit of opposition he has had in some time in the person of Dick Iannucci, To- cal Italian slugger. Iannucci ap- peared on the last show and was awarded the decision over Eddie Banning of East Hampton in one of the best battles seen here.
 The rugged Italian punch dis penSer has been seeking q meeting with Pasden for several months now, and as if by fate two boys never met in the ring, Everything being equal tonight, the fight fol- lowers will be well entertained with this meeting.
 Mann, who recently acquired his title by defeating Chester Rudy of the Franco American club of Wa terbury, will probably be pitted against Johnny Waynis of the fighting Waynis family of Windsor Locks. Mann, who is considered one of the best simon pure pros poets developed in this city in long time, has scored knockout wins in IS to his 20 fights to date. is also known as n knyo artists of note, md should prove no bed of roses for the local brll- liant.
 Tho third headline attraction may develop into tho best slugfest ,f tho season, with Sam Gagllani defending his title against "Tin Gan" Romanelli of Stamford. The blond fentherweight of Stamford fought five brilliant fights against Mike Murphy, the East Hampton flash. during the fall, and Carton feels confident that the Stnmfordite will make c fine opponent for the champion.
 Joe Steele, the Waterbury welter walloper, will also appear on tho ,ard. Carton succeeded in having steele re-instated in tho amateur 'anks after being suspended few weeks ago because of differences with the Waterbury promoter.

They arc Chick Pond, the Brandford High foot. ,ali star; Charlie Eagle, the Len representative; Johnny ;ompo, city featherweight cham md n student at the Hillhouse High school: and Johnny Merl0nc ,f Commercial
