DOLAN 2-1 OVER BELL TONIGHT
 AT NEW HAVEN
Waterbury Welterweight Meets Negro for Third
 Time; Katz Faces GillO

New Haven, Jan. 14-"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." is the motto of New Haven's sensa- tional negro welterweight, Jimmy Bell. Tonight in the star bout of eight rounds at the Arena, Bell faces Irish Eddie Dolan, Waterbury South- paw, one of the classieSt pieces of fighting machinery ever to come out of the state. Dolan is a 2-1 favorite tonight.
 Bell has lost two decisions to the Waterbury Gael, but he is confident that he can take Dolan this trip. One thing must be said in Bells fa- vor, and that it that he always makes a sensational fight, win, lose or draw. Dolan will face far bet ter conditioned Bell this trip than in the two previous fights.
 Jimmy kayoed Pete Koloff at Wa terbury last week, following close on the heels of 8 knockout win over Joe Pennino. The latter has defeated Tony Ferrara, who in turn had whipped Young Kid Mccoy, sensa- tional Detroit welterweight. Bell strayed from the path of training when he met Dolan in the previous fights. Tonight he's in great shape Bell is deadly right hand punchel when in form, and for this reason some of the boys in the fight game here give him an excellent chance to score an upset.
 The show is a popular priced one and will start at 8:30. Red Katz Waterbury middleweight, m e S Tony Gillo, New Haven. in a six rounder, while Young Firpo, Meri- den, and Art Tatta, New Haven well terweight, are paired in four.
 There will be four three-round bouts,. with Rocky Bello, classy New Haven lightweight, boxing Frank Rossi of Bridgeport.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Jan. IA = (UP0 = The St. Louis Browns were the most improved club in the American League last season and they are likely to continue to improve Tn 1941. How much the Browns irn- prove will depend strictly on their pitching.
 Outside the box the browns have good ball club. With some steady pitching they might make bid for a first division berth. Even with last years spotty pitching they were in first division ahead of the Yankees at oen time. They finally wound up in sixth place with a percentage of .435, their highest since 1884.
 Most of the Browns off-season efforts have been directed toward bolstering their pitching. They bought Fritz Ostermueller and Den- ny Galehouse from the Browns, Johnny Allen from the Indians and George Caster from the Athletics. If they have as much luck with any one of them as they did with Eldon Auker, who was bought from the Red Sox and won 16 games last sea- son, they are likely to be the class of second division. ....
 Besides the four pitchers bought from other American League clubs the Browns have two of the best young pitchers in the minors com- ing up from San Antonio. They are Bob Muncrief, big right-hander who was named the most valuable player in the Texas League and won 9 games and lost g, and Maurice Newlin, a slig right-hander who won g games and lost 8. Jack Kramer, who showed considerable promise in 1888 but who was troubled with his back last Seaso nand farmed out to Toledo, is also expected to help the pitching staff.
 The pitching holdovers from last season included Auker, Emil Bildilli, Vernon Kennedy, Bob Harris, John Niggeling, Roxie Lawson, and John Whitehead, who pitched Timing no-hit, no-run game for his only victory.
 Catcher Wanted
 The Browns need a veteran catcher, to aid Bob Swift who is still in the process of development. They They have their eyes on Rick Fer rell and may land him yet if they are willing to give up an outfielder. Joe Grace is Swift's only substantial relief now.
 The Borwns' infield is competent with George McQuinn at first, Johnny Lucadello, who came up late last season from Toledo, at second. Johnny Berardino at shortsop and Harlond Gift at third. Lucadello hit 1885 for Toledo last season, and packs real wallop.
 He is rated right along with the Tanks prize rockies Phil Rizzuto and Gerry Priddy as the best of the American Associations youngsters. Two other promising youngsters are pair of shortstopS, Vern Stephens, 19-year -old, from San Antonio and Bobby Neighbors from Toledo. Don Heffner is still around to fill the utility job.
 In the outfield the Browns have Rip Radcliff, who finished fourth III hitting last season with an average of .342, Walt Judnich and Roy Gull lenbine. Judnich is perhaps the best outfieid recruit to come up last sea- son. He is a ball hawk and a dan gerous clutch hitter. Myril Hoag and Chet Laabs are likely to be the reserve men. The rookie outf1elders include Tony Criscola from Toledo, and Al White, Jack Bradsher and Pete Kraus from San Antonio, none of whom seem ready yet.

Montreal, Jan. 14-CUP) - The Montreal Canadiens, one point out of the National League cellar, hope to bolster their team by acquiring the services of Bill Flash" Hollett of the Boston Bruins, Montreal manager Tommy German said to- day.
 German said that Hollett was with the minor league Hershey club and was supposed to remain there for at least two weeks but that Boston manager Art Ross was un- decided whether to recall Hollett for service as a utility man with the Bruins or not at the end of that period.
 Montreal had been promised first chance to buy Hollett If the Bruins decided to dispense with him en- tirely, German added
