SMALL CROWD OF FANS SEE LOUIS
 BATTLE MATES
Negro Ring Star Puts on Good ShOw-Mignault,
 Tracy Won Prelims

Less than one-fourth of the seat- ing capacity of the state armory in Waterbury was needed to accommo- date cash customers who thought enough of Joe Louis, the best at- traction among the heavyweights to-day, from both physical and monetary standpoint, to get Q dol- lar or two Ion the line" for the priv ilege of seeing him manhandle four sparring partners last niglt. Some what less than 1,500 fans paid their wayp to see the Brown Bomber in action, most of them for the first time, and in his only Connecticut showing.
 Four Rounds
 However, the mental makeup of Louis is such that the size of the crowd never enters his mind. As a matter of fact, he boxed four oppo- nents instead of three, which his contract called for, though the rounds were of two minutes dura- ton, rather than the regulation three minutes, and plenty long enough for Stanley Ketchell and Andy Wallace who were stopped with hard left hooks and right crosse from the new IA ounce gloves worn by Louis, who will bat the boys around again tonight in Prov tdcnce, Rhode Island. Paul Cava- Her and Mike McAvoy, two more sparring partners of Louis, were de- cisively "outpointed" in the four minutes they boxed the agile 204 pound negro who will meet James J. Braddock for the heavyweight championship next September in New York.
 Mignault Won
 Bud Mignault the Brockton bat tier overcame the handicap of Q badly cut eyebrow to punch out Q close decision over Tony Celli Of Worcester In the ten round go fol- lowing tn eLouis exhibition. Mig nault started well. outboxed Celli for while but was slowed down to 0 walk by some sizzling left hooks that straightened him up now and then. A strong finish and knock down in the second round which Celll claimed foul, gave Mignault the edge on Referee Bill Conway's scorecard. the official discarding Celli's protest, which looked more like 0 hard shot to the solar plexus.
 Mignault was down to 166 pounds, Cell sealing 172.
 Jack Renault of New Haven had his hands full beating Billy Reeves of Torrington in six round slug girg bee that went to Renault by decision. Obviously out of shape, Renault had all he could do to meet the rush of the New City negro for the first half of the bout, but Reeves tired, and his foe finished strong to win. with little to spare. Renault had a seven pound "pull' in the weights, 172 to 165.
 Buck Tracy of Everett, Mass, pasted Wade Lumpkin of Philadel- phia in an eight round bout that looked like an early finish in Tracy's favor, but Lumpkin withstood the leather to go the limit under his own power and just about lasted. Weights, Tracy 160, Lumpkin, l74.
 Sharkey Subdued
 Al Santillo, with his boss Lou Smith two rows behind him, punch- ed out e decision over Jack sharkey of the South End to even the stand- ing between the local ringsters. Plenty of hard shots to the head and body were exchanged, but San- tiilo's finish in the fourth and final round won him the nod, which was close enough. There was les sthan two pounds between them in weight, santillo hitting 135 l-2 to Sharkey's 137. Cliff McHale the north end nightingale, made very presentable appearance fin formal tuxedo garb and handled the announcing situa- ton in top style, while Johnny Brickel and his watch were also in fine working order. Three referees made their appearance, including Promoter George Muligan who was in the ring during the Louis exhibi- ton. Bill Conway and Frank Por- telle of Hartford split the referees duties in the other bouts.
