Metal HOSerS Meet Egan Five Tonight

Second division Industrial League bowling teams will have another class in woodworking on tonight at the Mattatuck alleys with the big idea agreed upon to prevent Metal Hose from running away with the race, in which it now has a four game edge over the defending champions, Egan's Diner. On top of that situation is the fact that the schedule calls for the one-two teams NH and Egans to tangle to- night at g p. m. with the pressure being on the Egan clan to cut down the Metal Hose 17-1 rating by win- ming at least two of the three games.
 Benrus and Noera; ScoviI and Autoyre; Mattatuck and Waterbury Tool; Waterbury Clock and Oakville are other matches carded for to- nioht

Holt Twins On Waterbury AC Card Thursday Night

Willie Roach, Wilmington, Del, knockout artist, and Angelo Cel- l1ra, high ranking Canadian feath- erweight. will both enter the ring for their eight-round scrap at Buckingham hall Thursday night with hopes of getting another chance at Hartford's Willie Pep.
 Roach boxed Pep several months ago in Hartford and gave the un- defeated youngster such a fight that Pep's handlers have repeatedly turned down Roach as an opponent for their charge in a return bout.
 Both Boxed Pep
 Roach had Pep on the deck in their first meeting and has been going so good of late that 1t is doubtful if the rematch will ever be made. Callura also boxed Pep in Hartford and gave him one of his hardest contests. Angelo has been improving with each start and several weeks ago upset the dope by scoring one-sided win over John- ny Compo, who holds a close deci- sion over Roach, at New Haven.
 One of two six-round preliminary bouts on Thursdays card will pair Mike Lewis, up and coming New York welterweight, with Henry Holt, Danbury Negro 145-pounder who won over Tom Collins here last week. On the same night Lewis de- feated Al Renick in New Haven.
 Henry Ho,t's twin brother, Bobby, a 135-pounder, is matched with Tim Renick, Hartford lightweight. in one of two four-rounders to complete the card. Both Holt and Renick won their last start here.

Boston Bruins To
 Give ARC. $75,OOO

Boston, Oct. 14-CUP)The Boston Bruins were having trouble today giving away about $75,000.
 However, Manager Art Ross of the National Hockey leaguers, said he believed he had solved the problem by donating the sum to the Ameri- can Red Cross.
 Ross said at meeting yesterday that the Bruins have picked four home contests from their 25-game schedule as charity affairs and ex- pected that the gate in each case would net about $20,00O.
 It was planned, he said, to give the money to war charity, but a recent Washington ruling prohibited acceptance of ations from sports events by either the Army or Navy Relief societies. The charity affairs will be Nov. IA, Dec. 12, Jan. 10 and Feb. g.
 Ross leaves tomorrow for Mon- treal where the 241man Bruin squad opens for practice.

Misunderstood, " Says
 Heavyweight Champ

Los Angeles, Oct. 14-(UP)-Ser- geant Joe Louis, heavyweight box ing champion, said today that he would fight whenever his army du- ties permit, or after the war, if he is not too old' by then.
 Louis came here on furlough from Ft. Riley, KanS.
 T was misunderstood" he said when questioned about his recent remarks at Omaha indicating he was through with the ring.
 T meant probably would never get another chance to fight. I'm in the army for the duration and six months more. That's long time away from training.
 I'm only 27 and I'll decide about quitting the ring after my army service is over.
 Some young fellow probably will come along and beat everybody that's at the top now"
 He planned to spend two weeks in southern California, seeking rest and sunshine.
