failed to deter the regions barrel
stave enthusiasts who were sched-

Vermont and western Massachusetts
were polishing up their S. r. o.
signs as reservations threatened IT,

e. Maine railroad suggested that
skiers bring collapsible skis so they
would fit in crowded coaches.
The outdoor folk apparently were
banking on the weather bureau for
a good week end since the forecast
for the three northern states was
some snow and colder.
Best skiing was in the eastern
slope region of New Hampshire near
Conway where there was a hard
packed surface over 20-inch base.
At Jackson and Pinkham Notch
conditions were good" with pow
der on the upper slopes.
Conditions were flair" at the New
Hampshire centers of Plymouth,
Hanover and Laconia. In Ver-
mont there was some skiing at Rut-
land but conditions generally were
poor to fair. Massachusetts, had a
few snow patches near Northfield
but no skiing.

CONSTANTINO'S
make OR Break
BOUT next WEEK
Especial to The Democrat)


New York, Dec. 31-Five of the
ten best lightweights in the world
will be seen in action in the next
three shows scheduled for Madison
Square Garden. First of these takes
place on Friday night when Beau
Jack, world champion, opposes
Charley Lulu" Costantino, of New
York's East Side, in round
overweight contest.
The following week Bobby Ruffin,
Long Island lightweight, tangles
with Juan Zurita, the West Coasts
top 135-pounder; and on Jan. %,
Sammy Angott, National Boxing
Assn. title claimant, comes back to
the Garden to meet Beau Jack.
Costantino came up out Of the
featherweight class during the past
year to assume leading position
among bookings foremost light
weights. Despite an occasional re-
verse in 1913 he forged steadily
ahead. Among the good light
weights he defeated were Ray Lunny
in San Francisco, Joe Pirrone IN
Cleveland, AL Guido at the st.
Nicholas Arena.
Hometown Nod?
Some months ago he boxed Bob
Montgomery in Philadelphia, just
before Montgomery won the light
weight crown from Beau Jack
(Which he lost in rematch with
jack. Costantino battled Mont
gomery on even terms through ten
slashing rounds, then lost on a split
decision which some Quaker City
newspapers described as a home
town decision.
Now, in the first major boxing
event of 1914, Costantino hopes not
only to justify the lofty rating given
him at the close of 143 but to de-
monstrate that he will move even
closer to the top during the year
just starting.
Four six-round bouts on Fridays
program bring together Al Guido
and Pat Foley, lightweights; Vic
Creelman and joey Manfro, light
weights; Ham WILDLY and Charley
(Cabey) Lewis, featherweights;
Rocky Graziano and Baby Galento,
welterweights. The opening four has
Jackie Cunningham meeting Johnny
Gebert. They are featherWelghts.
