Local prognosticators of things fistic, after series of secret hud- dles, a bit of crystal ball gazing and a splash into the past performances of the principals, have come up with Doug Marsh of Canada as 8 6 to 5 favorite to defeat Francesca Mon- tanari of Italy tonight, when the two star welterweights clash in the main eight round bout at Buckingham hall.
 Advance ticket sales indicate that the biggest crowd of the indoor sea- son will be on hand to see Marsh, a, clever boxer try to outpoint the heavy-hitting Italian who carrier a knockout wallop, stamina to burn and plenty of that good old twill to win" known in the cauliflower trade as the killer" instinct.
 Boxed Three Negroes
 Since knocking Howard Wright as cold" as landlords heart last sum. mer, Montanari has been stopped by Cat Ro61nson, then came back to give Oscar SuggS real trimming two weeks ago in this city. All three Montanari foes are negroes. Suggs held Marsh to a draw, yet the Ca nadian boy is favored to win on the opinion that he can keep away" from a Montanari crusher for eight rounds and score enough points on his boxing ability to win going away. SuggS was supposed to be able to outbox Monty, too, but the New Ha- ven negro absorbed a hefty going over. However, Marsh is 6 to 5 and that's that, with plenty of local Montanari money in sight among the local Italian-American lads VITO like their countryman very much, and justifiably so, for he is an honest, clean, hard-hitting fight CT who never ''loafs" in the ring and Is always trying for a knockout.
 Marsh has not shown in Water bury for some time but his clean cut wins over Jackie Thompson and Dick Turcotte are not forgotten. He is supposed to have too much class" for the Italian, but that, like Bobby Kelly'S abnkroll-remainS to be seen.
 The undercard, despite two substi- tut1ons, carries plenty of class, too, for, in the case of Johnny Compo of New Haven and Joey Stack of Phil adelphia, there is return bout be- tween two boys who put on a sizzler in New Haven a few months ago. Stack replaces Dom Riantini of Scranton who was injured in an auto accident last Sunday.
 Last Chance
 Red Doty of Hartford gets chance to redeem himself for his sleeping" in his last bout here with Jimmy Bell of New Haven when the latter got a TKO win over Doty as the redhead failed to get off his knees before ten" had been counted after 6 knockoown. He sprung into action l. 1t was too late, and here was a big yelp when Reieree Billy Tay- Tor refused to let him continus as Doty put the official ''in the mid- dle" by his queer action. Bell says the referee can count 200 tonight after he gets one or two good shots at his Hartford rival.
 Neil Miller of Scranton and Frankie Foley of New Haven are down for 8 six round Setto that looks mighty good "on paper" It's a vest pocket Marsh-Montanari go, Miller being the boxer, Foley the slugger and is return bout as both fought a hot draw not very long ago.
 The four round opener brings to- gether Billy Marcus of Hartford and Windsor Locks and Joey Wasnick of New Haven in bout that should de- velop some fast action and a pos sible knockout to boot. Announcer John Grantland Freney is sched- uled to introduce the boys about 8:3O p. m. after receiving the O. K. from Big Jake.
