CARLTON BOYS IN

 ROUND FEATURES
Coco Kid to Show Against Harry Thurs day While Frank Faces Villa

Now Haven, Jan 30-In present. ing the Carlton brothers, Harry and Frankie in the double head line attraction on the all-star pro. fessional boxing card to be staged at the New Haven arena on Thurs day night, 1t marks the first time In . few years that the "brothers" act will be featured. But in label- ing the appearance of the Carltons as q "brother act" Is not exactly correct since both of those boys are opponents of two individuals and distinct types of fighters.
 Harry, the older of the two, who Is scheduled to go the 10 round route against Coco Kid, Connectl- cuts leading lightweight contender, Is moro of tho combination class- boxer and fighter. Hitherto Coco's opponents have been handicapped by short reaches and therefore have beon unable to break through and though they were naturally aggressive because of Coco's con- sistent jabbing that they were backward. In Harry the story will differ as tho Jersy City leather pusher has lengthy arms and a goodly Bharo of nggressiveness and plenty of heavy hitting powers, Boxing critics on cauliflower alley advocate that CaEton will give Coco more opposition than he has had thus far in his ring vareer.
 On tho other hand, Frankie, unlike his brother, is an unortho- dox pugilist, lacking in science and technique, but possessed with tho fighting heart of a lion. Tho matching of tho younger Carlton against panch Villa, the classy Portuguese of New Bedford, afford tho fight customers 0 slugfest,
