MANN 8 TO 5 CHOICE OVER MOROz TONIGHT Arena Show to Start at 8 P. M.-Fitch vs.
 SinabaIdi

New Haven, Dec. 17.-Nathan Mann, New England heavyweight champion, climbs into the Arena ring tonight an 8 to choice to defeat Henry Moroz, New York puncher in the 10-round star bout on a pro fight card which will start at 8 D. 1n., instead of the usual starting time of 8:3Q.
 The change in time was made in order that fight fans working on night shifts in industrial plants around the state would be able to witness the show. In the event every bout goes the limit, in addition to the intermission period, the show will be over at 10:15 p. m.
 The smart money" men were willing to take 4 to that Moroz would stop Mann. The odds of 8 to 5 are the shortest which have gone up for any of Natie's home starts in recent years. Moroz qualified for the match by knocking out Phil Brubaker in the second round two weeks ago on the same card on which Mann won on 4th round technical kayo over Hobo Will Hams.
 George Fitch, New Haven Negro, winner by, knockouts in his last three starts, meets Al Cinibaldi, Berlin, N. H., heavyweight, in the eight round semi-final.
 George Fuller, undefeated Nor walk Negro, is paired with Jimmy Weed, local heavyweight in six rounder, while Tommy Doyle. Fall River, takes on Red Katz, Water bury middleweight, in another six. Art Aatta, New Haven, tangles with Joe Cramer, Danbury welterweight in the opening four.

|Litchfield Meets
 Terryville Friday In Hoop Natural

Litchf1eld, December IT. Del Knox's Litchf1eld high school team will meet the strong Terryville high club Friday in the Center School auditorium in what promises to be one of the best games seen on the local floor in several seasons. Knox's team has won four straight, includ- ing an overtime victory against Bethel, proving they are there in the clutch.
 Joe Jablonowski'S club defeated Thomaston week ago by good score, so that the few fans who will be lucky enough to squeeze into the local auditorium should see a real ball game. Knox will select his starting lineup from Kladick, Bald win, Griffin, Brewster, Knox, Bates and Da Ross. Ralph Santopietro, Waterbury official, who has handled several Litchf1eld -Terryville games in past years in creditable fashion, will do the whistle blowing.

ALI A m erican Redheads, Play at Bridgeport Sunday
Ghost Basketball Game to Precede Main GO at
 Harding Gym

Bridgeport, Dec. 17-Basketball fans in this area are in for a real treat next Sunday night when a big double header program will be pre- sented in the Harding High school gymnasium. The featured contest will find the Bridgeport Collegians, team composed of the cream of the city's cage crop, opposing the famed All American Red Heads who are the worlds girl champions. In the first half of the twin bill, Ghost Basketball" will be shown for the first time in Fairfield County.
 The Red- Heads, known as the "AmazonS" of the court, average better than six feet in height and are sa fast and even as rough as most men teams. They play on the average of 150 games each season against leading mems teams in all parts of the country and they all ways manage to win large number of them.
 One of their outstanding per- formers is pretty Hazel Smith, a six foot forward who was rated by the Associated Press as the best player in the East. Miss Smith, a New Haven girl, will also complete in a pre-game foul shooting contest.
 Such stars as Bobby Lynch, him. self an AllAmerican player at Ohio State, Kenny Ritchel, Stan Wilson and Bill Sheehy will play with the Collegians.
 Much interest has been shown in the Ghost basketball game. This new attraction of the court has been drawing record crowds throughout New England. The game is played in complete darkness, the referee. the ball, the basket and the side-line stripes. It is a real novelty which fans will probably not want to miss.
 The Ghost game will start at 8:15 o'clock with the main contest slated for o'clock.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLENIORE United Press Staff COrrespOndentD

Los Angeles, Dec. 17.-(UP)-Joe Louis Is between the devil and the deep blue sea, and at the same time he's riding the horns of dilemma, bareback.
 I realized the heavyweight cham pioi1's predicament for the first time last night when I listened over the radio to his fight with Al Mccoy in company with a group of typical sports followers.
 During the introductions from the ring in Boston the fellow smoking the pipe said Hell knock that bum out in one round"
 When the fight was in the third round the man in the tweed coat had this to say, and with plenty of disgust in his voice:
 "Joe,s carrying him, as usual. He can knock him out anytime he wants to. I suppose they're all fixed, just to give the customers 8 little run for their money"
 These two comments expressed the feeling of all the listeners. I boiled them and they pretty gen. erally felt that when Joe won fight be was either knocking out stiffs who could scarcely raise their hands from ineptnesS or fright, or carrying along buns to make things look good.
 Fight Elm All
 He got little or no credit for be- ing great fighter. Apparently no one took into consideration that Louis has never refused to fight any challenger, be he big, little, fast, slow, 6 home grown product or an import, a Chinaman or a lumber jack. No one stopped to think that the men he has knocked out since he became champion are no better or no worse than the contenders earlier champions belted to the can vas. He got no praise for doing a quicker, heater, and more deadly job of disposing of challengers than any champion in history.
 Listening to their remarks, ap- preciated for the first time what a

"The battle of the least end" on a Washington Hill court was the feature of Community House games played last night at Washington Park when the East End Commun- ity Club edged the Sacred Hearts by the smallest possible margin % to 19. In the other game of the double header, the Tribunes had a surprisingly easy time with the Gents of the Hill, winning 37 to 16.
 The Hearts led 12 to at half time. but the East Ends caught up and then won the game on suc- cessful free throw by McNeil in the final minute of the game. Ciancola, with IA points was high for the Community Club. Scores:

spot Louis is in. The group last night undoubtedly was duplicated in thousands of American cities and towns in all 48 states. Sports lov- CTS sitting around radios, listen- ing to the account of a perfection ist at work, and then putting the blast on the man because they don't realize how good he is.
 As a sportswriter, and as a man who has seen Louis in many a fight, tried to straighten out my companions. I pointed out that while Mccoy wasn't a great fighter, any more than the Godoysr- the Galentos, the Baers, the Paychecks, and many of the other men Louis has knocked out weren't great fight CTS, they were the best the coCn- try had. And that it wasn't Joe's fault that he was so far above his rivals in skill, hitting power, and willingness to fight.
 No Opposition
 For the life of me I don't see how you can sensibly blame man for being so gOoC that ne IS too good for his competition. He can't go out and with. wave of his hand develop men able to give him 8 contest. As far Louis promoter, Mike Jacobs, I know him well enough to swear that there is noth- ing he would like better than a high class challenger, one the pub lie felt was capable of beating Louis or driving him to the limit of his ability. Such a challenger would mean big gates and Jacobs is in the boxing business for the money. Jacobs spends half his time att tempting to ferret out or develop such a challenger.
 Until he succeeds, and right now it doesn't appear as if he will for many years to come, Louis will go on losing in popularity. This is 8 shame, because the final chapter of boxing is written he'll have sub- stantial place, both as a fighter and a sportsman.
