Bobby Ivy, Johnny Compo Paired For New Haven Ring

New Haven, Jan g IA match which has been in the making for two years will take place at the Arena on next Tuesday night on top of a popular price boxing show. Bob- by (Poison) Ivy of Hartford, state featherweight champion, will box Johnny Compo, f1ashy New Haven mittman, over the eight round route.
 Ivy, recent finner over Joey Archi- bald, former worlds champion, sev- eral weeks ago fought Spider Arm strong to a draw in Toronto. Bobby kayoed Johnny Buff in two rounds here several months ago. Efforts to match Compo and Ivy during the past two seasons failed when Ivy's camp said that Compo was too ex- perienced for the Hartford boxer.
 However, Ivy has come along fast in the past year, and now the Hart ford fighters board of strategy is confident that Ivy can take Compo.
 Johnny stole the show on the last Zivic-Armstrong card when he beat Patsy Giovanen in Madison Square Garden. Compo is rated one of the best featherweights in New England, and he is anxious to get Ivy in the same ring with him and settle an old argument.
 There will be -rounder, a four and four other bouts on the under card.

Naugatuck Man Has Great Record As NewY York Coach
lSpecial to The Democratl

Naugatuck, Jan. g - Fred Fox, former Naugatuck resident, who has been coach of the DespoSit, N. r., high school teams for the past 10 years, has a record that is re- markable, it was learned today.
 The Desposit football te m , coached by MT. Fox, last fall won the SuSquenango league champion ship and was unbeaten, united and scored on only once, that time be- ing in its final game against an- other unbeaten team.
 This in itself is good record but it is only a drop in the bucket of MT. Fox's achievements at DespoSit. In the 10 years he has coached Desposit teams, they have won six basketball championships, four football, three baseball and five track championships, a total of IS athletic championships in 10 years.
 And it would have been 19 except that last year his track team lost 8 championship by g. narrow mar gin when relay man dropped a baton. If this team had won it would have made an enviable rec ord for the former Naugatuckian last year for both his football and basketball teams were unbeaten and united.
 From 1930 to 194O inclusive, his football teams have won 52 con- tests, lost 19 and tied 6. They won three championships in the Susque- hango league and finished second three times. In that same period his basketball teams won 102 games, lost g and tied one, captured five championships and once finished in second place.
 His baseball lteamS have won 56 games and lost 34, and have taken three championships in the Susque- hango league and finished second once in the 10-year period. The 1897 season was disastrous one and added much to the loss total with two games won and nine lost.
 Fine Track Record
 Desposit high did not have a track team until 1884 but in that year it won the championship of its league and between 1884 and 1940 has been champion five times and has finished in second place twice.
 The Desposit Courier, comment ing on Fox's record, states, Tn re- cent years, local residents have ire quently commented on MT. Fox'S amazing record as athletic mentor here and wondered whether he will remain at Desposit or move up to some larger institution"
 Fox is a Naugatuck high school graduate, and was an all-around star at the local institution. He is graduate of Dif1ance college, De- flance, Ohio, and is studying for his masters degree in athletics at Springfield college.

Better Free Throwing Gave New Haven Team 37=36 Victory

Naugatuck, Jan. 23.-Poor eyes from the foul line cost the Nau- gatuck high school hoop team vic- tory last night. Hillhouse high of New Haven edged the Foleymen 37-36 and did so in their own back yard" the local "Y." Without at- tempting to detract at all from the fine performance turned in by the visitors, it seemed to most Specta- tors that the local five was not quite up to its best type of play.
 It missed nine out of 15 foul shots whereas Hillhouse only missed six out of B. A foul goal by Semen kovitch in the last minute gave the visitors the win, although Nauga- tuck missed a chance to tie 8 few seconds later when Durette tried a free throw but it did not cut the draperies.
 Early in the game it appeared as though it would be ding dong bat tie with hte visitors taking a 10-9 lead at the end of the first period and Naugatuck rallying to have 8 21-15 lead at half time. Hillhouse drew up to a 29-all tie at the end of the third quarter and the lead see-sawed back and forth in the final period.
 Durette again was the local star with 15 points and OConnor tailed nine. Semenkovitch led the visitors with II points, but it was his last tally that really counted.

 HARDING 42-32
Local Boys Go We'll in Bridgeport; Reserves
 Lose Thriller
Special to The Democrat

Bridgeport, Jan. g - Warren Harding's high school basketball combination had it's big moment when it knocked off Torrington, for it could do little or nothing with the Crosby court combine from Wa terbury here tonight, the visitors winning by a ten point edge, 42 to 32. Hannon and Handrahan of Cro0by came to life with a dupli- cate performance of II points each, while Fisher led the game scoring with 1T points. Hugya was Harding's only threat, with 10 points.
 Kept Ahead
 The teams started fast, Crosby taking the lead g to 6 after eight minutes and increased it a bit to 20-16 at half time, when Fisher had not yet found the hoop, but he got under way in the third and fourth periods so we'll that he wound up as the high scorer of the game Hannon carried the load for Crosby in the first half while Handrahan teamed with Fisher to put and keep Crosby ahead in the final pair of periods,

In one of the most exciting games seen on the North End Y Court, the Boys Club Bombers edged the North End Tigers 37-36 for their 18th victory in fourteen starts. Play ing without Radke due to personal fouls and Schmidt on the sick list, the Bombers proved their mettle by outlasting the Tigers in wild hair raising spectacle.

NEWSOM, NOT TELLER, BEST
 PAID PITCHER
Detroit Star Got $3O,OOO Last SeasOn-Cleve-
 land Disagrees
BY BERNARD CRANDELL United Press Staff CorreSpondent)

NOASCU AACSS 0t1A OOEECSPOuuCutJ
 Detroit, Jan. B - (UP) = Des- pite verbal pot-shots from Cleveland Buck (Bo-Bo) Newsom ranked to- day as the most expensive pitcher baseball has ever known with a scheduled seasonal stipend of $35,- 900 for 1941, which boils down to just about a penny a word for his summer oral output.
 Pitching hero of the Detroit Tigers in the 194O world series, New som, according to club Owner Wal ter O. Briggs, received $30,00O for his services last season and has signed for the 1941 campaign. Re- liable sources said that Buck had received at least a $50O0 raise and considering Briggs liberal bonus policy, his income might go as high as $37,50O.
 In Cleveland, the Indians didn't take too kindly to the Tigers rec ord" pronouncement and President Ava Bradley said:
 "The question is, is he getting it?"
 Bobby Teller, Indians Speedball star, had climbed to the top of the dollar pile Tuesday when he okayed a 1941 contract estimated to call for a $30,000 salary.
 While his new salary was not an- nounced, Teller was reported to have received between $25, 900 and $27 800 last year and when asked if Feller's wage was higher than the record $27,500 paid to Lefty Grove by the Philadelphia Athletics, Brad ley said:
 Private Matter
 His contract is the highest that has ever been paid a pitcher in the major leagues" He refused to dis close the exact amount and said it was private matter"
 NeWSom recorded 21 victories against five losses for the Tigers last year. In the World Series he won two games but lost the last and de- ciding battle in pitching duel with big Paul Derringer of Cincinnati. He permitted an average of only 2.83 earned runs per game and was one of the big factors in Detroit's drive to the pennant.
 Teller last year won 27 and lost Il and struck out 261 batters to lead the league. His earned run average was 2.62.
 Inasmuch as Hank Greenberg, generally considered the best paid player in the game last season prob ably will be drafted into the army, either Newsom or Teller will snap a rubber band around baseballs big geSt 1941 bankroll.

Levine and Foley in Senli- Final-KOvach vs
 Noble
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

MT. Alphonse Armand We'll, the short, fat but mentally alert man. ager of boxers has quite a stable" of ringmen, including Lou AInbers former worlds lightweight cham pion, who lost his title. to Henry Armstrong after two great fights. The Weill collection of fistic expo- nents also includes Carl Dell, New York Italian-American who meets Irish Eddie Dolan tonight at Buck ingham hall, and will probably at- tract a full house because of the fact that he has beaten Cat Robin son, and Francesca Montanari, two better than good fighters who have shown before Waterbury ringworms.
 MT. Alphonso Weill, though he is inclined to be a bit careless with soup or gravy when his plush vest is exposed, is more than little par ticular about his boxers. He does not waste his time with boys who have no chance to get anywhere. He does not have to, for he has half dozen classy fighters, and they take up all his time. The very fact that OC14 10 d 1lICIAlbCL VI UAlC VVC4A1J tourage, is indication enough that Carl must have something in the line of ability to give and take pun ishment with those leather mittens.
 Looks Like Natural
 Both Dell and Dolan have beaten Robinson. whale of fighter in his own right which seems to show that a natural is in the making when Carl and Eddie are paired. Dolan, who has lost but two fights in two years, will have to be the favorite but Dell, hard-swinging, tough puncher. could upset the applecart on his best form.
 At D. m. today the main bout principals, carded for eight rounders were to weigh in at Mulligan's al 146 pounds or whereabouts.
 By holding the tough and heavier Frankie Young of New Haven to 8 draw on the last Waterbury A. C.. show, Sidney Levine of New York. a 19 year old Jewish welter, earned himself another showing locally. and gets the six round semi-f1nal spot tonight with Frankie Foley of New Haven, a "club-fighter" who has quite a following among the Elm City Irish-Americans. Levine can be depended upon to hold his own in that fight.
 KOvach vS Noble
 Young and Mickey Whalen of Philadelphia are paired for a six round showing; while Dula Kovach of Naugatuck will return to the ring in a sixer with Hubby Noble, a Wilkes Barre, Pa, heavyweight. Maxie Katz, popular Jewish middle weight and Benny Maxine of Dan bury should get the show of to a great start in the opening four four-rounder, at 8:30 p. m.
 Last but not least, the Dolan and Dell contract was signed with the | mutual understanding that, should Dell upset Dolan by a knockout or decision, a return match is guar anteed him.
