 BOXING SHOW
Stamford Slugger Meets Bay State Boy Thurs
 day; Morris vs Fuller
By HUGO HOOKJAB

Three bouts already made for the Thursday night mitt-slinging pro gram at Randolph Cloves Stadium by Waterbury A.. c. matchmakers have been classified by the writer as something to look forward to" in the line of fistic entertainment. First and foremost, of course, is the main go, bringing together two boys who have never met within the ring, a slugger and boxer. The slugger, Irish Mickey Donahue of Stamford is no stranger here, nor Is his opponent long Johnny Doug willo of Marlboro, Mass, who passed up a go with Dick Turcotte but is willing to tangle with the much im- proved Donahue, who was one of the states best amateurs, in the days when he, Turcotte, Joe Triano, Freddy Pease and others were climb- ing to the top. For the past two years, Donahue has been fighting in and around New York, has shown at MISC. several times. Twice seen by the writer, he lost decisions, but looked good when compared with his amateur days, when he was con- sidered one of the best drawing cards in the state.
 Lucky John
 Dougwillo got away with two de- cisions he had no right to own, but earned when Triano let him "get away" after getting off the floor; and Bobby Cummings had to be knocked out to lose to Dougwillo. As 1t happened, a bad gash over Cummings eye was opened with less than half of the last round to go. On paper, at least Dougwillo, who has become popular here, fig- ures to take sound going over from Donahue, who has been well-han- dled for two years.
 The second bouts of real inter- est and entertainment should be the Frankie Morris-G George Fuller heavyweight dish. Morris is the heavy find" of Lew Brown who gave the Litchfield big boy, Norm Guerrard, sound trouncing last time out. Fuller is the state heavy weight champion from Norwalk, @ hard-hitting, cagey, experienced boxer who figures to beat the hard hitting but green" Morris though the latter may be stopped cold by a couple of Sunday" punches. Man. ager Brown, who handled Georgie Day for years has Morris almost living in a gymnasium, teaching him to box, and when Brown takes an interest in @ boy, he must have something or the popular New Ha- venite will have nothing to do with him, or waste any time in that di- rection. He has recently taken over the management of Jimmy Bell, the promising colored welterweight from New Haven, and already has the nucleus of @ stable" that may turn out to be one of the best in Con- necticut.
 On Again
 Number three on this weeks pro- gram from a standpoint of interest is the Sam Craig Tommy Mccarthy return bout. They went to draw two weeks ago, when Craig seemed to be winning easily, only to have Mccarthy Schenectady boy put on a whirlwind finish to get an even Stephen nod which he well-deserved.
 Emil Etters will come down from the wilds of Town Plot to do battle with Frankie Cassin of Schenectady. That one should be good for plenty of laughs and some right from the floor" mitt singing calculated to keep the customers contented every minute the pair is in the ring. Five hundred extra bleacher seats have been put in, should there be an 8. R. o. crowd such as that of last week.
