LORENZO RATED STEINKE EQUAL

Securing a man big and able enough to toss 245 pound Hans Heavyweight Steinke on the broad of his back has been quite a prob lem for local promoters, but in Angelo Lorenzo the former Big 10 footballer, who brought the drop kick of the grid into the wrestling ring with him, is rated chance to kick Steinke into submission, when the pair clash Friday night in one of the lively prelims of pro- gram topped by Won Robert and Bibber Mccoy, the hotstuff from Holy Cross who is cross between Joe E. Brown, Man Mountain Dean and one of the seven dwarfs enlarg- ed a few thousand times.
 Know Their Stuff
 Lorenzo and Steinke should put on match that will not lag min ute, if the Italian is half as rough as his admirers say he is, while John Podubny, the resilient Russian and Springfields Tommy Rae are down for another time-limit number that should do more than little to keep the customers highly interested and amused, as Podubny is natural crowd-nagger and has been bound ing around wrestling rings for many year. Rae is one of the younger crop of matmen who learn fast for Tommy showed plenty of class when he showed his stuff in this city about a year ago.
 Robert, in the main go, is mag nate for the women fans as he is handsome enough to be a movie hero, while his wrestling is all that any man who understands the game could desire, which is one reason he has drawn large crowds wher- ever he has shown,

CENTRAL CREW
 vS CROSBY FIVE
Valley Rivals Meet To- night at Wilby Gym; Bat=
 tie for Second Place

With Crosby, Torrington and Ansonia tied for second place in the Valley league, each club show ing four victories and three defeats, Crosby starts again tonight when it faces Coach Eddie Riley's Gen. tral High team of Bridgeport. Gen. tral has run into hard luck all sea- son, repeatedly dropping games by few points. Last Saturday it played the strong Harding team that de- feated Crosby and Central held the Presidents to 24-21 score. Central has been losing all it's games by such small margins, and it is easy to imagine the heat that such losses creates the collar of the irascible Riley. There is no doubt that he will be here to shoot the works tonight
 Crosby has not played since the Harding game week ago. Harding displayed its usual zone defense, and although Crosby early showed an ability to penetrate it, later the team begged down and dropped a listless game to the visitors. Coach Schofield was not pleased with the showing of his club on that occa- sion, and has been driving the boys since in an effort to revive the pep that characterized their play earlier in the season. Although Nauga- tuck has a pretty firm grip on the top rung in the league race, the battle for second place is going to be a tough one, and Coach Scho- field is bending effort to push his team into the runner-up position. The season is by no mean over( and still to be met twice, Naugatuck and Wilby in the offing, Crosby can still upset a lot of apple-carts this season.
 A preliminary between the Junior Varsity teams will precede the main game, and will start at 7:30.

ADAM|CK SOUGHT FOR BAER BOUT. AS FARR BALKS
Welshman Wants Bout With Schmeling After
 Losing Twice
By LESLIE AVERY
Jnited Press staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Feb. 2.-(UP)-Tommy Farr's obstinate rejection of Max Baer as his next ring opponent pro- jected new name today into the much muddled heavyweight situa- ton.
 It was that of Young Jimmy Adamick, Detroit's knockout special ist, who will be offered a bout with Baer here March II. If he can beat Baer, Promoter Mike Jacobs will throw him in against Joe Louis in the champions second "tuneup' bout, sometime in April.
 Jack Kearns, who manages Adam ick, will arrive here Friday to con- plete negotiations for the match. Kearns calls his 23-year-old Golden Glove product "the nearest thing to Jack Dempsey I have ever seen." Cute Thomas
 Farr, holder of the British Empire title, who lost a 10-round decision to Jimmy Braddock 10 days ago, con- tended that his agreement with Jacobs called for the winner of that match to fight Baer, and said That let's me out"
 While I figure it was duff de- cision, and I earned the verdict, Braddock got the duke,'' Farr con- tinued, land his retirement certainly does not obligate me to fight Baer. I've already beaten him once, and I couldn't get more than $15,000 for doing it again."
 Farr's choice of an opponent is Max Schmeling who outpointed Ben Foord of South Africa last Sunday. Jacobs said he would attempt to open negotiations for such bout, but Schmeling's manager, Joe Jacobs, snorted at the idea.
 "Farr is dreaming if he thinks he's going to fight Schmeling be- fore Max meets Louis for the title in June," he said. What's more l don't think Max will give him a match if he wins the title because Farr ran out on him last summer in London after signing for a bout"

Watch This Team

We have been maintaining that when the Dispatchers are on their game they are tough to beat and they proved it by taking the lead Ing Sales Engineers into camp for four points. The Sales Engineers missed plenty of spare set-ups due to r-anxiousness in their efforts to maintain theri lead. Tippy Moriarty had his eye on the pins with 359 for his three games. When the goining is rough y ouwill see Tippy coming through as the big boy loves his pie that way.
 Jack Murphy's Servicemen served notice that they were still in the running when they took Harold Keeler,s Rubbertowners for four points. We think Harold's team, looking forward to their Boston

 Climaxing a steady drive which began early last month, Construc- tton by smothering Benneh Gold stein'S strong Collectors for four points, went into tie for first place with Meter B. Featurinf the climb of Construction has been the great work ofd Jim Kuyette and last We'd nesday saw him at his best when he set down 424 pins for his three games. This is a fine mark and as we look over his scores we wonder how 1t feels to roll games like them.
 Meter B took four points from the General but did not know it until an audit had been made of the scores. After everyone, including Alex Mazzarella, had added up the Generals figures, Meter B took it for granted that they had lost the last game but the next morning By and company looked them over the slight error in addition was found. Meter B appears to be back on its game while General seemed to be under a strain and broke un- der the pressure of continuing its winning streak.

For instance, Jim filled a spare by throwing hte ball into the gutter and due to spasms con- tracted by watching Jim do his little act, the honorable secretary filled his mark with one pin. Oh, yes Jim's team took three points.
