 night at Y Hut for Title

With the advance ticket sale pointing to a capacity crowd, Ray Ouimet, president of the North End "" senior league made ready to handle capacity crowd at tonight's game between the Wolves and Eagles in the playof series for the senior league championship.
 The Wolves, winners of the first round, lost two games in the sec- ond round and the Eagles, strength ened by the return of Chick Car men and Rainey Spadola, back aft- CT season with Crosby, went on to & sensational undefeated record for the second round to win the right to face the Creavenmen in the playoff. The Eagles regular five of Rainey Spadola at center, Honey Margiotta at guard with Chick Car men, Eddie Santipietro and Ossie Petrone at the forward posts are a veteran combine and have the edge in experience. Ricky Ricciuti and Bob Leece are the only veterans with the Wolves, but Mike Haiday, stellar guard who is expected to stop Chick Carmen in the playoffs, Ken Kelly and Herb Leece, all graduates of last years intermediate league, have come fast and round out hard working aggregation.
 The Wolves must stop the fast cutting, accurate shooting Carmen If they hope to cop the verdict.

The two rivals have met twice this year and each has won game, but the Wolves were without Robbie Leece, high scoring center, and Ken Kelly, in their losing encounter, while Spadola and Carmen were missing from the Eagle lineup when the Wolves won in the first round meet ing.

LARGEST CROWD
 OF SEASON SEES FINE MAT CARD
Henriquez Posses Indian; Cohen Hurt Again-Mc.
 Carthy Shows Up We'll

With more than HOO paid fans on hand, representing the biggest wrestling turnout of local record, Dr. Carlos Henriquez and Carl Po- jello were easy winners of their bouts with Chief Flying Cloud and Sammy Cohen last night in Buckingham hall. The finish of both bouts, how ever short though they were, was preceded by some slick wrestling and ro,igh-house tactics, 50 much 50, that Cohen was disabled by series of flying mares, winding Up on the floor outside the ring, and being unable to continue after minutes of liye- ly action.
 Collarbone Injury
 Dr. Joseph Slavin's examination showed a clipped bone on the end of Cohen's collarbone, which will keep him of the mats for a month or so. Flying Cloud, Cherokee h. dian, was a rough customer, but Henriqucz tanned him in two straight falls to finish tse show which was full of pep from start to finish. Efforts to get PoJello and Henriquez into the ring for finish bout are under way, though both men are holding out for considerable money.
 Good Work
 The Black Mask, @ young and ex- ceedingly strong man, fiopped paralyzing Paul Palausky in 13 min- utes and IS seconds, showing num- Der of fine holds before he tossed Paul with @ body-slam that could be felt in the last row of specta- tors. He will show again on April 3rd in this city.
 George Mezenoff was winner over Bill Panzyan of Poland, sub- stituting for the Great Chuphisto in less than IS minutes following series of butts and crotch hold that turned Bill over for the finale. Irish Jack Mccarthy had no trou- ble tossing Johnny Butwell of Nau- gatuck in almost 14 minutes, though 8 sprained ankle suffered early in the bout hampered Butwell's work considerably.
 Dr. Jack Fischman of New Haven offlciated the bouts as referee losing a nice white shirt in the process while Jack Freney announced the gladiators and Johnny Brickel watched the watch.

 Last year when I met the late Frank Navin for @ salary confer ence, I named my figure. I told him that if my play during the 1855 season didn't warrant paying me such 6 salary, I would expect to take a cut the next year. We agreed to terms in five minutes.
