CARLO, HATCHER NATURAL TOPS
 THURSDAY CARD.
Sluggers Paired in Eight ROunder - Sal Meets
 King-KOvach, Weed

Another slick-looking card of slambango has been completed by Waterbury A. c. matchmakers for Thursday night at Randolph Gloves stadium topped by an eight round piece de resistance featuring a pair of tried and true sluggers, Tommy Ciarlo of Waterbury and Jimmy Kid Hatcher of South Carolina.
 In defeating Snooks Lacey of New Haven and getting 6 draw with Kid Sal of Meriden, though many thought he won going away, Hatcher has proven conclusively that he 'has what it takes" and from the night of his first local showing, several fans could see that bout with Ciarlo was a natural" due to the identical styles of fight ing, height, reach and weight. Therefore, the Hatcher Ciarlo num- Der should please everyone in the local stadium Thursday, as well as those looking through or over the fence.
 In his single Waterbury showing, Cotton King of West Palm Beach provided proof that he was as good as he showed in training for against Leo Dulmaine of Worcester, the Florida flash showed plenty of class, 8 sharp punch and splendid condi- tion. This week, King takes on the slugging Kid Sal, whose tireless work and whistling left hook has left fVoit fHf HoxyA ry{AkSV1ae kHS.nx,n1. out Connecticut. On paper" King figures to outpoint Sal-if he isn't knocked out.
 Weed vs. KOvach
 Qua Kovach of Naugatuck whose two battles with Max Minnich of New York were very much worth while watching, is back again, this time against long Jimmy Weed, New Haven negro and knockout puncher in his own right. Many Waterburians have seen Weed fight in New Haven and know he is plenty tough enough for Kovach. They will go six rounds or less. Jimmy Bell, New Haven negro, whose fights in Buckingham Hall last winter were filled with fistic thrills comes to Waterbury against one of the two Cooper boys from Holyoke, Johnny in a six rounder, while Irish Billy Cooper takes on modest Maxie Katz, the titan haired Hebrew middleweight in a four round bout that will open the show.
 Announcement of the Hatcher Ciarlo go has started a rush for choice seats, as Waterbury A. c. of- ficials happily anticipate another crowd comparable to that of last week when close to 2,300 patrons paid their way in to the scene of action.

OUT AT NINE SCRIP DIS

FAYETTEVILLE Sept. 10

FAYETTEVILLE Sept. 10
Mayor Daniel Boone Dawson,
Republican candidate for Cover
nor in a statement issued here
today dashed out at the Illegal
transfer of coal company scrip
| in violation of the state law
which he declared had become
prevalent in many southern
West Virginia mining towns.
Mayor Dawson said that it
had been brought to his at
tention some time ago that this
evil had been working a hard
ship on both the miners and in
dependent merchants. After an
extensive study of the problem
the Charleston chif executive
declared that he was certain
that in many instances the
spirit if not the letter of the
law was being violated.
"The wholesale discounting
and transferring of scrip is
lowering the standard of living
Of the coal miners and creating
an unwholesome atmosphere in
the mining centers," asserted
the Republican gubernatorial
candidate. "In 1927 the scrip
law was altered to prevent the
traflicing in scrip. That law
should be rigidly enforced and
if necessary additional legisla-
ton enacted to make the trans
fer of scrip absolutely illegal.
Mayor Dawson said that he
was of opinion that additional
legislation out-lawing these
practices may be necessary and
that at a later time and after
additional study he would fur
Their expand on this subject
which he termed vital to the
interest of West Virginia
miners and to the mining COM
munities.
