FalcO, Winner At Holyoke Monday, Shows Here Friday

Tony Falco. hard hitting Middle town welterweight prospect will be fresh from 8 decisivie win when he clashes with Manuel Rosa, rough and tough newcomer from Balti- more in the eight round semi-dnal of Fridays fight card at Randolph Cloves Stadium.
 Falco, who has lost only to Billy Murray in 28 pro bouts, defeated Leo Dulmaine of Worcester in one of the feature bouts on Mondays card at Holyoke. Tony came out of the bout unmarked and will be ready for the Baltimore welter Fri day.
 Indian Gomez, Cuban middle weight sensation, and Larney Moore New York left hook artist, will re- new their feud in the 1O-round main event.
 Gomez and Moore battled to a furious draw on the last card at the stadium in one of the best ex- hibitions of body punching ever seen here. The Cuban had all the best of it in the early rounds but Moore came back to even the score in the middle stanzas.
 Moore, according to Manager Al Lang, is anxious to reverse one of the few losses on his record and also wants the shot at Jerry Flor ello, hard hitting Brooklyn 15O- pounder, that Promoter George Mulligan has promised the winner of Fridays bout.
 May Lose Match
 Gomez has been tentatively matched with Joe Basora in Madi- son Square Garden in two weeks but a loss to Moore might result in Larney's getting the bout so the Cuban will be gunning for knock out.
 Dick Fuller, Norwalk middle weight, and Andy Holland of New York are matched in Six-rounder that may bring forth a future main event fighter. Holland recently de- feated Dula Kovach, who outweigh ed him by 10 pounds, and also holds decision over Georgie Ko- chan, who defeated Larney Moore.
 Billy Conklin, New Haven mid- dleweight, and Jack Lyons, former Oklahoma University boxer now living in Bridgeport, will clash in one of the two four round bouts to complete the card.

In the Full ton 644 game was a high single of 176 by Benny Marcoux, who started with 99; but the effort was second best to whopping 654 by Brook side, which showed 162 single by Red Roche and a 156 by Valunas.
 Other Results
 Defending champions Verriker Paint won a 2-1 nod over Speedy Parcel with 534 as highest game rolled by either team; Brookside blanked Fulton 80 with the aid of Nick White and Mickey sharon, Industrial League stars; but Mar coux came up with 393 high three as well as high single of 176 to take individual honors for the evening, which rates him big "hello" from Charley Greenblatt some time to- day.
 A. and F., the new league entry, opened auspiciously with 8 to win over the strong MatzlSin Furni- ture, which has Montanari and Jacewicz, the latter high average man last season.
 President Andy Juliano brought his famous "gutterball" out of hook, and rolled the first ball down the alley, officially opening the season for the Mercantile members. Andy hit a corner pin, which he auto graphed for Sad Sam Sena. Scores:

Tn a fairly "wide open" tourna- ment, during which the winner is more likely than not to come from an unexpected quarter, match play in the S3rd annual mems golf cham pionship test of the Country Club of Waterbury got under way today, with medalist w. M. Goss, Jr., whose 77 led a field of 60 qualifiers yester- day, paired with Clear Golden, who had an 82 over the lovely layout, with very warm weather prevailing. Despite the ideal day and course conditions, a score of 87 made the championship flight. George B. Horan, a former club champion, whose 78 was second best qualify ing score, met Paul A. Monroe (85) today.
 Hot and Cold
 Ned Farley, Merriman Trophy winner last Saturday with 8 "A, qualified yesterday for the club championship with an 82 and was paired today in match play against w. s. Witherwax (8O. George Swentor, runner-up to Farley Sat- urday had 79 yesterday, including huge seven on the final hole, met young Bobby Boucher, former East Mountain and Crosby golfer, who qualified with an 84.
 Pre-match play diagnosticians be- ieved the championship lies be- tween Swentor, Farley, Horan and Bill Goss, Jr., though surprise or two might well bob up in the form of Walter Evans, ST., or Ken Blan- chard, a seasoned tournament play CT, and steady scorer in the high 70S or low sos.

Hats Of Department

Perhaps the most remarkable bowling of the night was turned in by Mike Machareli of the Rangers. Mike broke his arm a week ago and was counted out for the remainder of the season. He insisted, however, that-cast and all-he was going to bowl and bowl he did-for with that left arm in a sling he topped all of his mates with a 320 score. Take bow, Mike.
 The Bombadiers upset Boom Boom" Stokes and the Doughboys two games to one. Al West and Hal White forgot to take their bowling arms out of the mothballs and Frankie Giasi had his mind on the Dodgrs faltering pennant chances. All in all 1t was tough night for Boom Boom" Benny, Jouncing Joe Ariola being the particular pest with 354 total.
 Mil D'Angelo personally led the Commanders to their only win of the night over the Leathernecks posting , sizzling 1l0 score in the first game, despite identical scores by the Coughlin Family for the Marines. Perry Whites ll4 was hto deciding factor in the second and red Coughlin came through with l22 ko give the Leathernecks the decfsion for the night.
