TWO N. E. CHAMPS DEFEND TITLES
 IN BOSTON RING
Winston and Callahan to Face Worthy Opponents
 TOnite-FavOr Arcelli

Boston, Jan 19-U.P.) - Two New England boxing champions, defending their titles in separate 12-round bouts in the same ring at Boston Garden tonight, were fav- ored to win over their challengers.
 In one bout, Eddie (Unknown Winston, Hartford, Conn, negro, defends his heavyweight title against Dick Madden of Roxbury. It will be the second contest be- tween the two. Winston having won a previous bout over the chal- lenger by a close margin.
 The second title bout brings to- gether Andy Callahan of Lawrence, welterweight title-holder, and Wer- ther Arcelli, former Italian anna teur now residing in Boston. -.
 Of the two c:lallensers, Arcelli is regarded as having the best chance of upsetting his opponent. While not as hard hitter as Cal lahan, Arcelli is admittedly a faster boxer and sharper hitter.
 In other bouts on the card, Jack Mccarthy, boston heavyweight, meets Elmer Chase of New Bed ford, in a six-round bout, and in four-rounders, Henry Surrette of Leominster, meets Tiger Henderson of Hartford, and Steve Salek Of Lowell, meets Joe Ricciotti of Bos- ton.

 Goes to Torrington
(special TO The Democrat)

Naugatuck, Jan 19-The Naug- atuck high school hoop team is all set fo rits game tomorrow with Torrington. The locals play Tor rington in Torrington and warm scrap Is anticipated. There have been reports that many who have the second team may start against Torrington. None of these reports has been confirmed but it was learned that the seconds have trimmed the regulars in practice.
 Edmonds and Tuckey have been tried at the center position which is one of the weak spots in the team. Tom Scally is expected to be q real help tomorrow night. He was outstanding in floor work against Central but did not have his eye for the basket. A practice for the game was held yesterday. Torrington is the favorite to win as they trimmed Crosby which trounced Naugatuck here.

Only few days ago in Chicago, hardvboiled Harry = known to the belt and block business as King Levinsky - was imploring for an exchange of fisticuffs with Herr Max Schme1ing, but today the Kingfish is being groomed by Madison Square Garden for a world heavyweight championship fight in June. A little train ride to New York was responsible.
 And where is Maxie Baer, the Livermore Larruper? Mir Baer is out, squeezed out cold by the Garden.
 Long, Sad Story
 It all happened like this: Col onel John Reed Fitzpatrick, presi- dent of the Garden, had been dickering for weeks with Baer, Manager Ancil Hoffman and Di- rector Jack Dempsey in an attempt to match Baer with the winner of next months Carnera-Loughran title bout at Miami. He held a final conference with Hoffman yesterday, and announced after wards that negotiations had failed. Fitzpatrick insisted that Baer guarantee his services to the Gar den for a year in case he wrested the title from the Carnera-Lough- ran winner in June. Hoffman re- fused flatly to sanction such con- tract. The question of Dempsey cutting in on the Baer bout as a promoter never came up.
 Meanwhile Levinsky, his sister, manager Mrs "Leaping Lena Levy, and their advisor, Pete Reil- ly, were visiting the city. They had come to meet former cham pion, Schmeling, when he arrives from Germany tonight on the Bre- men. They wanted 8 Schmeling fight in Chicago.
 | As Colonel Fitzpatrick turned away from Hoffman and Baer at the Garden, he heard a greo: hurly- burly in the anteroom. Ii was Levinsky and Lena telling re- porters what the Kingfish would do to Schmeling if they met.
 "What ho!" calculated Kill patrick, "the man talks great fight. He sounds off like a cham pion." Then he scurried out tc meet the valuable Chicagoans.
 The Convincers
 And 1t came to pass that after the colonel had listened a few mo. ments to the enlightening conver- sation of Kingfish, Lena and Reil. ly, he was convinced. Without further ado, Levinsky was signed for two "build up" matches. Hs meets Charley Massera of Pitts. burgh in a Hereunder at the Gar. den, February g, and if he beat! Massera, he tangles with Walter Neusel of Germany in another 10 rounder March 2.
 Between leaps of joy, Lena as sured Fitzpatrick that the King fish would sign with the Garder flor 10 years if necessary. | would mean so much to the othel half-dozen brother and sister Kra kows whom the King aids finan cially.
 At midnight Hoffman and Bael left for Baltimore where Maxie il

 There are only few more weeks left for bowling and at the present writing it appears to be toss up as all the teams seem to be evenly matched. For further proof, there is only margin of five games be- tween first and last place and what has happened to the Opals in the last two weeks can happen to any of the leaders. The team to bear watching is Rubys, who at present Occapy the cellar position. but their scores indicate that they are travel ing in terms of cylinders. Another fair team is the Onyx, who have been seriously handicapped with 1 the loss of bowler, explained by Paternoster and boasting two stars in Manfredi and Minicucci. Watch their smoke.

GARDEN HAS "GALL"
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

GARDEN HAS "GALL"
 Because he refused to sign for his first bout under direction Of Madison Square Garden in case he won the title, Max Baer was de- clared out like the proverbial light, yesterday and plans made to build up' Kingfish Levinsky for title shot against Camera in June. Of course, you must remember that the MISC. people tied up Camera before his bout with Sharkey in which the title changed hands so now they want to pull the same stunt on Baer, which might come under the head of good business or protection for them, but gives everybody else, including the GUS toner, the worst of it. When you come to think of it, what right has the garden, or any other pro- moter go ito deny an outstanding challenger chance to win title unless he agrees to defend his title for the same organization, should he fight hard enough to win it! Of course, the sport of the thing is a dead issue, and it's a matter of dollars, not devotion. The challen- ger gets nothing but 12 1-2 per cent for a fight with the champion, and fl someone comes along and offers him a larger amount for his services as champion, he can't take it under the garden plan of operations. It's things like that which kills legitimate matches un- der fair physical and monetary conditions fo rthe fan and the fighter, who are, after all the really important figures in a box ing deal. If state boxing commls- sions wanted to make real lm- provement in the game they could squelch the signing of fighter for more than one appearance at time, particularly if he is cham pion which would at least pro- vide the semblance of a fair shake for the fan who pays the freight, and the fighter who takes the punches and gets paid in pennies.
 CROWLEY CONFIRMED
 That Sleepy Jim" Crowley has been wide awake for these past few years, is evident from the con- nections he has made in New York both at Fordham and in downtiwn Gotham. After a most pleasant overnight visit to Waterbury, the Ram shepherd left yesterday with several pleasant memories not in- cluding one Pete Coyle, the Elm City easer-inner, who gave ample
 proof why the boys on the New Heven stem were happy to hear he had left for China only to dis cover the falsity the rumor. In
 fact, a fund to send Pete to the
 Texac PANHANDLER and keep
 him there would be raised in a
 week, if guarantee was forth coming that he would not find. his way back. At any rate, Crowley had a good time and is perfectly
 contented with his lot at Fordham. On the Yale and Notre Dame ang- les he was necessarily retieent but feels that the change of head coaches cannot do any harm and can do much good. Incidentally
 our Albie Burke may get his long awaited chance as collegian, ac- | cording to Crowley's interest in
 his case, after it was put up to
 him.
