WELTERWEIGHT
RIVALS CLASH
THIS EVENING
MOffett VS. Miller Sal and
Devore On Waterbury
A. G. Card
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Tonight is the night and Bucking-
ham Hall is the place where Baby
Jack Thompson of Albany, N. Y.
makes or breaks himself as q local
attraction for the outdoor season,
for he is meeting the best opposition
of his ring career-Irish Eddie DoIan
who hopes to be the leading man in
a farm from modern nifty entitled
Local Boy Makes Good"
Records show that Eddie has more
than made good In the past two
years, but, like many another local
athlete had to shake the dust of his
home town from his brogans and
Ego out into the world" After two
years campaigning, he came back
home as seventh best welterweight
in these United States.
Not So Bad
Thompson, too, has made good at
the expense Of Waterbury's number
one ringman, Dick Turcotte and
while loser In a local showing to
Jackie Craven of Philadelphia, there
were those who thought Thompson
did more than all right by himself
and the customers that particular
evening.
So it is, that Dolan and Thompson
meet tonight and the winner, sooner
or later, must meet Dick Turcotte,
probably outdoors and if it's Dolan,
the gate" should approach $4,000.
Tonight, Dolan is about 2 to L
choice to take Thompson, who claims
70 have knack of defeating left
handed boxers, regardless of how
good they are. Dolan. of course. is
generally admitted to be one of the
best in the business. Thompson also
has an added incentive, that win
over Dolan will give him plenty of
work in upstate New York and pos
sibly in the smaller clubs in New
York City.
While the top spot of the show
figures to be an exhibition Of what
D. T. harrington would call "the
manly art" other bouts on the pro-
gram should bristle with action,
notably the Kid Sal and Johnny
Devore number of six rounds in
which the Meriden and Bridgeport
lightweights are expected to lose
little time getting under way and
Saying 1t with leather. Then there
is the able Red Moffett of Devon
who is paired with Neil Miller of
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, a member of
Dolan's stable. Nothing is known
of Miller, but he better have some
thing ION the ball" or his stay with
the hard-hitting Moffett will be
short and not necessarily sweet.
Swing Time
Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and
Johnny Coleman Of New York are
down for a six rounder heavyweight
battle that ought to give the GUS
toners something to cheer about
as both boys are reputed "swingers"
who figure science Is something that
belongs to Einstein and the Indians,
not in boxing ring.
From the opening bell at $3.50,
the patrons, all 1000 of them.
should get off to a good start watch
ing Red Max Katz Of Waterbury and
tough Tony Clio of New Haven
slug it out for four rounds or less in
which Katz will be facing the tough
est opponent of his short but very
successful career. III

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh. July 26.-Residential con-
stuction in North Carolina has con-
eistently doomed during the first SIN
months Of this year: but this upward
curve has been badly bent backward
bv an even more drastic slump IN
the cost Of non-residential building
undertaken during the same period,
an aIaIySis Of statistical reports from
the Department Of Labor reveals.
sum total Of all new construction
work in 2! cities Of more than H.
600 population shows that there were
issued, through June, 330 more build
ing permits OF all sorts than during
the first half Of 1899; but the eStl-
mated cost Of the 2,2Go structures
authorized this year was Sl,757,49O
less than in 1889.
Explanation of the tremendous
slump in nOn-reSidCntial cOnSlruc-
ton lies in the completion last year
Of huge public construction projects.
Those familiar with details are I'M
animous in accounting this years
construction record as much more
gratifying from the standpoint OF prl-
vate building projects.
The Labor Departments report FOR
June was consistent in similarity To
those Of previous months: indicating
continued private residential build
ing, while confirming the steady de-
cline i'm the value Of proposed non
residential construction.
Summary Of the reports show that
through June 30 there were issued
permits for 2,268 buildings TO cost
S8,348,8l9, against 1890 buildings at
a cost of S10,606,299 in the first half
Of 1889.
On the residential side, this years
total reached 1872 buildings to cost
S6824,990 against l,4l8 buildings TO
cost 81 ,480, l06 last year-an increase
of 1863 buildings and S2,344,984 in es-
timated cost.
On the nqn-residential side, the
picture was quite different, with de-
creaSes both in number of buildings
authorized and cost of those to be
erected. The totals were 1856 buildings
to cost S2.023,8l9 for this year as
compared with SIP buildings and an
