Belloise 2 To 1
 Over Mauriello

New York, March 14-UP)- Steve Belloise is a 2-1 favorite to whip Tami Mauriello tonight in their 10-round neighborhood brawl at Madison Square Garden.
 This battle will settle, at least, the middleweight championship of the Bronx, since both fighters are from that bailiwick. Both have large Metropolitan followings. Betting is unusually heavy, and a near-capaci- ty crowd is assured.
 Belloise is favored because of his sllowings in two matches with Champion Ken Overlin, both of which Steve lost by narrow mar gins. Maurilleo dropped 1O-round decision to Billy Soose on Jan. g. his no yldefeat in 27 bouts.
 Mauriello will weigh about 16l pounds to Belloise's 155.

 There may be a slight delay in the reply because Firpo and his fighter are living out at Carlos Cas- ares on Firpos huge ranch that boasts some 5000 cattle and 4,0o0 sheep.
 Dempsey told reporters, friends of mine in Argentina say that this Abel Ctstac is a great prospect that he's a big, blackhaired fellow who can really hit. And only P, young enough to be developed. He must be good, or Firpo wouldn't monkey with him. Old Angel is pretty sllrewd, you know.
 T understand Cestac is still sonle- what of Q novice, having had only seven or eight fights, all of which he won by knockouts. They say he's very fast for a big fellow. If he's as good as reported, he'll cer- tainly give the heavyweight division much-needed shot in the arm"
