DOUBLE HEADER ON 'H|LL' FLOOR Raymond Hillies, Welles Paired; Hearts vs.
 Community 5

Initial tests of second round strength will be given four teams of the Washington Park hoop league, in two stellar games which have been arranged for play tonight. Sa- cred Hearts will meet the Com munity club and Welles will engage Reymond Hillies in that order.
 The preliminary between the Hearts and the Community club will give the dopesters an opportunity to determine if they were correct in predicting that plenty of trouble would be experienced with the Hearts in the second round" For tonight the Community club will undoubtedly be at full strength, as they were when they pinned defeat on the Raymond Hillies in the first round, and the Hearts play against them will be indicative of what may be expected by other teams.
 The Raymond Hillies, who are faced with necessity of meeting the Gents of the Hill before the ques- ton of title to the first round is settled, will be opposed tonight by the Welles, who when at full strength, comprise class, speed, and spirit-to-win. Competition in the second round is expected to be even more keen than that which made the first round a veritable powder keg of uncertainty. Johnny Mo- Cormack will officiate.

With the squad at full strength for the first time since early in the sea- son, the locals will be out to avenge a last minute three point defeat tackled on them early in December in the Park City.
 The locals, although scoring over 40 points per game, have had dlf- ficulty establishing winning streak mainly because the opposition has been outscoring them by three or four points. Coach Heimie Rabino- vich is going to revamp his lineup in an effort to add some defensive strength and still maintain the To- calls offensive. The center position in particular has shown both of- fensive and defensive weaknesses.
 In addition to the St. Cyril Club, the local quintet this month Will play Hulls Collegians, iMddletown Speedboys and the Meriden 1nsilcos.

French=C Canadian to GeI Tough Test; Steinke,
 Rae, Podubny Billed
By HUGO HAMMERLOCK

From every angle, the best wrestling bout that Waterbury devo- tees of the head-scissors and Japa- nese arm-lock have seen in 8 year of Sundays should come to the front tonight when Won Robert, the handsome and able French Cana dian tangles with one of the tough est matmen in eastern wrestling rings, Bibber Mccoy of Boston and Holy Cross. One of the most attrac- tive parts of the bout is the fact that both men have showed in this city within the past six weeks, though not against each other, and both have made decidedly good inn preSSion.
 Won the Tiger
 Roberts anger was manifested in New Haven last Tuesday when he Whirled Joe Dusek of Omaha out of the ring and into something hard, which caused the Dusek noggin to crack bit. He was released from the hospital yesterday. Honest and trooly). Mccoy finished on the floor as did Len Macaluso i;l double K. O. three weeks ago at Buckingham hall and he will be lucky not to wind up in the gallery if he gets too tough with the easily-riled Robert. It's a two of three falls match, and should be humdinger all the way, probably going the limit, with Rob- ert the winner.
 Hans (Gorilla Arms Steinke, who is still tagged "Stinky" by that kid with the piping voice from the up- per chairs, takes on Angelo Lorenzo. the Chicago dropkicker. Should he kick Hans around too much the pounds will break off Angelo's kick CTS and stuff 'em down his throat, for Steinke is the same man, who is his prime defeated the man whom thousands called the worlds great est wrestler-Stanislaus Zybysko.
 Even today, the sturdy Steinke could pin half the chumps claiming to be champs, but he is satisfied to go along with the tide, play in the movies now and then and make himself altogether agreeable as long as he has enough for beer and pret- gels, barrel or two of sauerkaut and maybe a knackwurst now and then. (That idea by courtesy of Drescher and Keck). Yea, man, An- gelo will meet the angels if he gets too rought with the happy but hum- ble Hans.
 Tommy Rae, the Springfield wrestler who really knows his stuff ought to tie John Podubny in a knot though there was a day when the Russian rubber-man could hold his own with most of the better mat men from Moline to Moscow. But. when it comes to waving his fist through the air, Podubny is still the worlds champion and you can bet all the Japs in China on that. Dick Stahl and Joe Swan, ex-college foot ballers are billed to open the show at 8:30 D. m. and it sure looks like an evening of ear-scrambling.
