ROBINSON READY FOR SECOND GO
 WITH MONTANARI
Bell and Massilli in Com. paniOn S-ROunder; COfl-
 DO, Miller to Show
By HUGO HooKJAB

With a star bout against Irish Eddie Dolan as the bait, Francesca Montanari of Italy and Ernie Cat Robinson of New York will slug it out again this evening for eight rounds or less, to feature the 1940 indoor season which gets under way at Buckingham Hall uas:er the aus pices of the Waterbury A. c. Dolan has beaten both Robinson and Montanari and they have foughs each other to an eight round standstill and even Stephen decision, but both of them want an- other crack as the crack Southpaw welterweight whose latest victim was Jimmy Leto of Hartford. There fore when Francesca and Ernie get their hands up tonight they will shoot the works" as win for eith- CT of them will mean much. Rob- insou, because of his boxing ability, combined with . hard-punch, has been installed a 6 to 5 batting choice over the sturdy and heavy-punch- ing Italian by the Kelly Yorky sym dicate which has its headquarters near the Clock on the Green.
 Bell Massilli.
 Another eight round feature with Jimmy Bell of New Haven and Leo Massilli of Brooklyn, N. Y, is down for 8 semi-flnal spot, and from Mas sillis record 1t should be very in- teresting as Bell has done his best fighting in Waterbury.
 Johnny Compo, New Haven state feather champ, will meet Dom Fi- antini of Reading. Pa, in a sixer which Compo will be favored to win, little or nothing being known of Fiantini, except that he is a mem Der of the Montanari stable.
 In another six round battle, New Haven's Frankie Foley, sandy haried fighting Irishman, takes on the able Mel Miller of Wilkes-Barre, Pa, in 140-pound bout that may produce some plain and fancy ring work of most interesting nature.
 At 8:30 or so, Announcer John Grantland Freney will ease under the lights in lis Civil War enSem- ble (blue and gray) and tell the patrons that Ohio Gianelli, local heavyweight, and Freddie Martin of New Haven will have it out for four rounds or less. It may be less. The writer picks Gianelli to stop Martin.

St. Thomas Holy Name SpOrtographs

The Holy Name Society held its first fall meeting last Tuesday eve ming at their club rooms on Beacon street. It was very encouraging to hear that the sports program of the past summer was highly com plimented and responsible in a large measure for the increased summer activity. This winter We sincerely hope that sports will also figure prominently in the elaborate pro- gram that will be mapped out by the various committees.
 The bowling league is already underway and promises to be the most successful ircuit to date. Thcre are six teams composed of six members already in action and several names on a waiting list who will take over if anything happens to the regulars.
 The card committee headed by Mike Grout will swing into action thin week. Any member who might wish to participate in this league or tournament is asked to get in touch with the commissioner or members of his committee who are: Bobby Blacker, Charlie Roller, Joey Perry. Timmie Shea, Barney Burns, Tim Luddy.
 Then also ping pong will share the sports spotlight and it is hoped that the younger lads will take over this department and make it suc- cess it should be.
 All in all it looks like every mem Der will have part in making this a banner year for the Holy Name Society.
