GARIBALDI, RUSSELL,
 KOVERLY GO TONIGHT

New Haven, Nov. 23.-Two giant opponents of the grunt and groan collide in the Arena ring tonight. Gino Garibaldi, seeking revenge Tor the indignities heaped upon his proud family name by one Texas cowpuncher, Reb Russell, finally gets chance to square matters with Russell.
 Of all the williams who have aroused the venom of New Haven fans, Russell is perhaps the most villainous of them all. Week after week, he has kicked, gouged and belted his opponents into insensibil- ity--winning by fair means or foul.
 Numbered among his victims are Ralph Garibaldi, brother of Gino, who was so badly hurt in the sea- sons opener that he was out of action for two weeks.
 George Koverly who hasn't ap- peared at the Arena since a woman split his skull with high heel last winter, wrestles in the semi-final meeting Jack Holland, clever Pacific coast star.

BETTER BATTING EARLY AIM OF NEW BEES BOSS
Casey Stengle Signs To. day-To Use Young
 and Old Players
BY ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff CorrespOndentl

Boston, Nov. 23 -- U.P) = In a gesture of formality Casey stengel will sign a lone dollar and other considerations" contract today, thereby providing documentary evi- dence he is new manager of the Boston Bees and at the same time officially launching another era in National League baseball here. 1 Prior to the legal technicalities Casey and President Bob Quinn will discuss matters of salary and length of tenure-little things that weren't even mentioned a month ago when Stengel was hired after long dis tance telephone conversation. That's just the way Quinn does business with his managers.
 Stengel, who collected $l5000 for not managing the Brooklyn Dodgers last season, made his first visit here yesterday since Quinn asked him to 1 succeed Bill McKechnie last October 25. He had left his Omaha, Tex, oil i fields to start laying the ground work for the 1888 campaign. But 1 he wasn't nasty about revealing the nature of his future plans.
 Except to indicate clearly that the Bees will have two new coaches next season, Stengel played his cards close to the vest. Coach Hank Gowdy, one of the heroes of the 1914 miracle Boston Braves, apparently will join McKechnies staff at Cin- cinnati while Pitcher Bob Smith very likely will not be around. There are nearly 100 applicants for the two jobs.
 Stengel said that the fortunes of the 1888 Boston Bees will be en- trusted to young and old players alike but intimated that the accent, if any, would be on youth. T like young and old players on my team" " he said. "Ill give them all a chance and If they can't come through I'll start looking around. But If a young man pays attention to his work there's a place on the ball club for him. And there is 0 great opportun- ity to establish himself"
 No changes in the personnel of the team that reached fifth place the past season are contemplated until at least after Stengel and Quinn have attended the minor and major league meetings next week and the week after. Stengel said there were few trades in sight and that he would get along with what there was plus young talent drafted from the minors.
 "The Bees are a good club" he said, it Is easier to tear Q team apart than build one up and it's hard enough to patch up any weak nesses that might exist. l can't say how far I'll take the ball club, but it's my ambition to do more with 1t than a majority of people think 1t possible"
 The pitching staff he said was of first division caliber and he saw no reason why the veteran "rookies" Jim Turner and Lou Fette will not repeat their 1887 performance Of 20 victories apiece.
 An atempt will be made to put more zip in the batting attack or the Bees who were singless crew the past season. Stengel himself VIII do the coaching on the third base line unless I can see man who can do 1t better"

We saw some fiae matches but our predictions of the previous week went kind of haywire on several ot the games especially the one rol!eo on alleys 1 and 2. We thought this one would be close as the Sales En- RIneers were giving the General a 10 p!n handicap but there was no- thinR to 1t as Ray Mills boys took the c. men for four points taking over the league leadership
 Moving over to alleys 3 and We wanted to see how the Collectors and Metermen of the A class were doing, On this one we were not very far of as the match was split two points Q piece. We had figured the Kieleymen to take three points as Renneh Goldstein and his Cohorts were handing out 22 pin head start. Benneh took the high single prize for the week with his l34'
 We thought that on alleys 5 and 6 even odds for tight match would be Q fair bet. We placed ours on the nose with Naugatuck favored to come through which they did taking aIi four points even though they were without the services of their anchorman, Harold Keeler who was lad up with Q cold. Here is hoping Harold will be back with the gang for the next matches. The Junior Varsity of the Statesmen were never in the running.
 Murphy Upset the Dope
 The Servicemen led by that stream line bowler Jack Murphy, took a liking to alleys 2 and 8 and practically massacred Bob Nelsons Bales A entry, upsetting our predic- tions that the Murphymen were due for a setback. Ray Ahearn showed his stun by making a good come back which helped to pull out three points for his team.
 Meandering to the end alleys we watched one of the hardest fought matches so far an it no doubt will be remembered for long time by all who were lucky enough to see It. spotting the Production Engineers 30 pins game. the Construction managed to take two points. At the end only IS pins separated both teams for pinfall. Jim Guyette with 30O and Howard Humphries and Fred Drummond with BPS each were the big guns for the Construction. Jack Roberts and Nick Calabrese were off their usual form. For the

Wrong Again

We moved downstairs to see what was going on and to see how oW predictions were coming out. On the first alleys we watched Johnnie DeVito and his Meter B mop up the Dispatchers for three points, the boys we thought would come thro N !. Reports have ben circulat' ed th..c due to their let down, Tips py Moriarty and Bill Grover have been thinking of retiring and giving the younger generation a chance.
 On the next alleys we hit 1t right on the nose as the Storemen took over the Operating for three points with Joe Blum banging them away in great style for Stores. For some reason, Wimpy Beardslee and cagey Ted By failed to click. We think there is mutiny in them thar ranks
 Now we come to the grand finale. We had an idea last week when we picked the Welfarers to come through with three point win that the Linemen would make 1t battle even though they were giving away 30 pins a game. However, 1t was just breeze for the Flanagan abrira- tors for they took Mclean and his climbers for a ride for four points without the help of the handicaps This loss knocked the cliff dwellers out of top place. The Welfare boys don't go through the garage any more mornings when coming to work since taking this match.
