Boston Promoters Expect
 $1OO,OOO'G Gate From Bout
Willie Pep Vs. Sal BartOlo June 8

Boston, May 25-NeW records for boxing receipts will be established in this city of the bean and the cod a week from Tuesday night, June 8, when Willie Pep of Hartford de- fends his featherweight title agaisnt Sal Bartolo of East Boston in a 15- round drama at Braves Field.
 Their first match. fought in the Garden carry in April, re-established boxing as big-time sport in Bos- ton. Their return match is destined to wipe away the receipt records set by the Maloney-Sh Maloney- Heerey, and Maloney Bertazollo bouts of the golden years and to give to the featherweights the mantle once worn by the heavyweights.
 Jack O'Brien and Eddie Mack, CO., promoters of the match, are claim ing loudly that this meeting of the midgets will produce the first $1OO,- 900 gate in New Englands history, but whether or not it hits their highest hopes. it is certain to oblit- crate the old Hub record of some $58,000 held by Jim Maloney and Tom Heeney.
 Big Advance Sale
 The return match between Pep and Bartolo was sufficient standing by itself, to be termed a natural, but the heat engendered by the fric- tion between the Massachusetts Boxing Commission and the New York commission started a bon fire at the boX-office that has resulted in tremendous advance sale.
 Out of the bitter controversy, the firm of OBrien and Mack emerged as the first promotional team suc- cessfully to combat Mike Jacobs since he became the monopolist of maui. and the team of Lou ViScusi and Willie Pep stepped to the front of the class as the brightest man. ger-ighter pair since Jack Kearn and Jack Dempsey were making ring history.
 Pep won a title in his first Madi- son Square Garden appearance without agreeing to defend it; re- ceived the unprecedented figure of 40 per cent of the Garden receipts in the Stolz match without obligat- ing himself to Mike Jacobs for fu- ture bouts; defied the authority of the august New York commission without being suspended; broke the Jacobs monopoly for the first time in history; and now will receive a cool $30,0O0 for 45 minutes of work at Braves Field on June 8.
 Viscusi, who was here yesterday to clean up some of the final details announced that the champion will arrive next Sunday nd do his final week of training at the scene of the battle
 Long Rest
 We had the thing figured straight the last time,' he said, when we brought Willie into Boston a week before the Bartolo bout. We hadn't taken him into New York. in ad- vance of his bouts with Wright or Stolz. We felt that Bartolo was the only fighter in the business who might endanger Pep's standing, and
