BY HUGO HOOKJAB

aVriety, 'tis said well and often, is the spice of life. If so, tonight's combination pro-amateur boxing bill at the Randolph Gloves stadium should be something to look for ward to, for, lon paper" 1t shapes up as a potentially great card, de- pending, almost completely upon the ability of two New York city box CTS, and five more from Schenec- tady. On "this end" everything is fine with Dick Turcotte and Red Moffett two tried and true stalwarts ready for action.
 For one thing there will be a flock of new faces. There's Irish Johnny Radke and Charley Mack of New York. Radke, who meets Tur- cotte is rated well being a club fighter who has won 27 of 36 bouts in two years, according to the rec ord sent up in his behalf. Mack is colored boy, the same type of fighter as Radke who has had ex- perience in Gotham clubs that he will need in trying to best the De- von red-head, Moffett who has won all eight of his professional starts after two year campaign of ama- teur boxing that has been nothing less than sensational. He is the ideal combination of fine boxer and hard puncher, can take punch, is fast on his feet and hits with both hands. They do say, however. that he wants no part of the southpaw Turcote, though 1t is not fear on Moffett's part as much as undue caginess of his handlers.
 Possibility
 Yet, should Turcotte challenge Moffett tonight if both win, the big gest crowd of the season will turn out, If the match can be made, though Waterbury A. c. officials have spent much time and money in telephone booths trying to "sew 1t up" all to no avail. On the oth- CT hand, should Radke prove able to handle Turcotte and beat him, new life will be put into the sport locally and the door will be open for Cinarlo-Radke or something like that.
 Big Boys Battle
 Two heavyweight bouts that are almost sure to please the fans to- night involve Frank Morris, the 1o5 pound heavyweight handled by Lew Brown and Norman Guerrard, the 190 pound Litchfielder whose fistic destinies are directed by a guy named Kelly. The other go is an all-Italian affair featuring Nauga- tuck ole Morelli and Schenectady Gus Gardella. Morelli was stopped Tuesday night at Savin Rock. Tom my Tucker of this city and Henry Armstrong of Bridgeport two col- ored boys are down for Q three rounder that will be lively, to say the least, while Joe Brosseau who , recently beat Baby Face Morris in Danbury is paired with Johnny Legge of Schenectady.
 Eye Trouble
 Tonight marks Turcotte's first bout in three or four weeks, since an eyebrow injury by Bobby Cum- mings at New Haven. Cummings later suffered an eyebrow injury in this city that required some fancy medical crochet work. If Turcotte is bit ring rusty, and Radke is as able as claimed, the bout may be a whirlwind affair from start to fin ish. Sammy Craig, the north end Negro who won a great fight with Francis Sharpe at Savin Rock Tues. day in a return bout is to meet Tommy Mccarthy the welterweight member of the Schenectady team making its first Connecticut ap. pearance.
 First bout S:30, weather clear ring fast, and good time assured all.
