EAGLES AND REDS
 AT N. H. WEDNESDAY

New Haven, Jan. 17-Resuming their drive for second place after a brief let-down, the New Haven Eagles play the Providence Reds at the Arena tomorrow night.

 After winning ten, tieing three and losing only three in sixteen games, the Eagles suffered a letdown over the weekend but Coach Le- pine is confident that they will srap back into winning stride tomorrow night Injuries to Brydson, Hoct, Raymond and Smith had no little part in the hard-luck weekend. Brydson received a concuscio ion when Red Doran of the Reds smacked him down in Providence and he should have been on the sidelines in the Springfield and Philadelphia games but insisted upon playing.

BOON, BRITISH
 BELTER, WANTS
 ARMSTRONG GO
Son of Blacksmith Looms as Latest Star on Fistic
 Horizon; Gets Advice
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent


 London, Jan. 17-(UP)-Warning to Henry Armstrong: a 19-year-old Blacksmith,s son is after. you He is Eric Boon, lightweight champion of the British empire.
 Boon developed a sock. in both hands by welding a sledge-nammer in his fathers shop. Despite his youth, he has had more than 200 figts and now is thinking seriously of invading the United States. When he does, he wants Armstrong, who holds both the world ligtweight and welterweight titles.
 Boon said today that Arnstrong's crowding, hammering style would worry any boxer, but he thinks he can solve it.
 "I've seen Armstrong fight in pictures" Boon said. T like the way he comes to his man. His style is made to order for me. He sets a fast pace but so do l."
 Big Gate Ahead
 He won the British lightweight title last month by knocking out Dave Crowley in the 18th round. In March, he defends it against Arthur Danahar and the receipts are ex- pected to set record for light weight bout in England.
 But Eric isn't any too interested in that fight. His friends and hand lers are having a difficult time get ting him to concentrate on the im- mediate future. His desire to meet Armstrong is almost an obsession.
 Typical of the advice given Boon these days was a column in the Sunday Pictorial by Peter Wilson who, in an open letter, wrote:
 There are lots of stories about matching you with Henry Arm stron. Don't listen to them yet. There are lots of fighters for you to meet in this country yet-all good boys with widely different styles. If you meet all of them, that will see you through 1889 And if you beat all of them. then you will be ready for Armstrong, particularly as you'll be 8 year older. Go to it, Eric"
