one way to repay her for her kind
help in his suit to win Trina. Un-
heard by Nicky, Ivy remarked to
the clerk that it was the most beauti-
full engagement ring a girl ever had.
Nicky prevailed on his mother to
have Trina to his home for dinner;
and when Trina was there his mother
snubbed her covertly. Nicky, not
seeing through this, quarelled with
Trina when she objected to his
mothers treatment. They parted
that night vowing never to see each
other again. This misunderstanding
was just the opportunity Ivy had
been waiting for and she stepped
into the picture to act as inter-

possible for her to receive letters
from him for Trina which might be
interpreted as for her.
These letters and the ring pro-

MANN MOVES UP |AS HEAVYWEIGHT
 RING CONTENDER
Barlund Loses Close Fight Due to Low Punches
 in Two Rounds

New York, Feb. 25-(UP)-Na. than Mann, 22-year old New Haven Conn, Italian, moved up among thG leading heavyweight contenders to. day as g result of his surprise l0- round victory last night over Gun- mar Barlund, Finland.
 A crowd of 3289 paid $7,266 to see the match at the Hippodrome. Barlund W .ighed 193 3-4, Mann 182 1-2.
 The decision was not unanimous, two of the officials voting for Mann and the third for draw. Mann had two rounds-the fifth and eighth awarded to him because of low punches by Barlund.
 Nice Work d
 Mann started fast, and won the first three rounds with a ripping ate tack. The New Haven boy had Bar lund in distress in both the second and third rounds. In the third round he opened small cut under the Finn's right eye and drew blood from his nose.
 Barlund, who had won his four previous bouts in this country, started rally in the fourth round and in the succeeding rounds made the fight close, but probably tossed away his chance of getting at least a draw by his careless punching. He did most damage in the seventh and tenth rounds. He drove Mann to the ropes with stiff right in the sev- enth and drew blood from his op- ponents nose in the final round with series of short hooks.

POSSIBLE SLOW :. TRACK UPSETS

RosemOnt May Not Be
 Favored to Cop | $1OO, ,OOO Event

Arcadia, Calif., Feb. 25.-(UP)- Bettors took one look at overcast skies, read the forecast for probable showers and tossed their form charts into the ash can today as they prepared "to pick a winner" in Saturdays $l00,00O added Santa Anita Handicap.
 A thin, drizzling rain had fallen through the night and the Califor- mia weathernan predicted "rain to- day with unsettled conditions and probable showers tonight"
 That probably will sweep away all the efforts of bleary-eyed statisti- cians who predicted that long-legged Rosamont would succeed Azucar and Top Row as the winner of the worlds richest turf prize. The track still is hard, but if it rains, in apprec;able quantities on the mile oval in the next 48 hours, young Alfred G. Vanderbilt will hold the trump card in Saturdays game -Chanceview.
 Going Down
 As Chanceviews odds plummet in the mud, 50 will the figures on three other longshot contenders-Red Rain, Star Shadow and Gold Seeker. Red Rain worked the mile and a quarter handicap distance yesterday in the fastest cIocking recorded this year-2:07. Loafing as r-ucl at first, the c. V. Whitney henna hurricane boomed around the curve and down the stretch to make up the fast time.
 Star Shadow, the A. A. Baroni threat, is a good mudder and served notice last week by crowding Rose mont to place second in the San Antonio Handicap. Gold Seeker, able mate of Rosemont, revels in a slow track.
 The entry least subject to change because of weather is Time Supply, the horse that has beaten all three handicap favorites in the last three years. The Frank Carraud hope was third in 1895 and second ahead of Rosemont in 1886. Fully recov- cred from a weak suspensor liga- ment Time Supply is considered ready.

St. Johns Big 5 Loses 42- z0 Tilt at Boys
 Club

Despite the fact that the Boys Club Cadets were handicapped last night with the absence of Matty Sheehan and John Griffin who both performed with the Poli Al Star team the Cadets went on to win a hard fought contest 42-26. By this victory the Cadets cut a deeper notch in their claim for the city title by virtue of the Big Five's three successive wins over the K. of L. on their own court. Cliff Loughlin mak- ing a comeback after a somewhat mediocre season not only was one of the big guns of the Club offense, but held Ferrie, the K. of L. scnSa- ton, scoreleSs. Ferries lone hoop was a neat backward shot in the last minutes of play.
 The Cadets took a 60 lead after four minutes of good floor-work piloted by Jimmy Crichton and this lead they never relinquished. Russ Weaving accounted for most of the scoring in the first period ending at 1924 while Paddy Damelio and Cliff Loughlin sweled the total il, the second canto. Never did the Club lead seem in danger but in the last period coming within eight points of tying the young soldiers, not forgetting in New Haven, ap- piled the pressure and matched the beautiful long range shots of St. Johns.
 All the Cadets aided in the point making while Ruocco was the only real threat of the opponents.

HOGAN AND PEPE IN RETURN BOUT
Amateur Ring Rivals Meet For Third Time Tonight
 at New Haven

New Haven. February 9. = Although Julie Kogan, New Haven junior lightweight. usually comes back to win over his previous oppo- nents that held him to a draw, the fistic fans of the state are banking on George Pope, the little Meriden southpaw, to take the Hebrew over the hurdles again when they meet at the Arena tonight.
 On the basis of the records Pope deserves to be rated as the favorite. He first met Kogan in New Bri- tain fight couple of weeks ago, and, although the bout was called a draw, the fight customers were strong in their disapproval of the decision and maintained that Pope was en- titled to the verdict.
 All The Way
 That they were right was borne out in the second meeting here last week. Pope took the first and third rounds with plenty to spare and might have taken the second, too, except for knockdown for no count. He bounded right back after being floored by the punch and showed no signs of wear, tearing into his foe with both hands.
 Last week over 5000 fans witt messed the show and Matchmaker Dick Gray expects that a capacity gathering will be present tonight to witness the third meeting between the glovers.
 A program of 12 bouts will be staged. Fighters from seven Con- necticut cities will be on hand to compete on the card and glovers from the heavyweight division down the line to the featherweights will perform in action.

 In all fairness to Terryville. t must be pointed out that Johnny Werner. one of Terryyille's stars was unable to play last night be- cause of injuries received in an auto accident in Bristol Sunday night. However, the difference be- tween the teams was so much that is is very doubtful that Terryville could have trimmed the Garnet with him playing.
