CALLAHAN A. C.. OPENS TON|CHT;. MAIN GO ToSSUP

Boston. Dec. 10 - (U.P) -Dazz- ling Doll Rafferty. touted as the greatest boxer Milwaukee has pro duced in IS years, makes his bld TOT national recognition in a 10-round but at Mechanics building tonight when he meets Tippy Larkin or Garfield, N. J., whose sharpShoot- ing style long has kept him near the top of the lightweight heap. u
 Nearly 4,DO0 fans were expected to witness the battle on which the odds were g to 10 and take your choice-the Dancing Doll with three losses in A professional encounters or Larkin with a host of victories including five over Champion Fred dy Cochrane.
 It appeared probable that the match would duplicate all others staged this year by the Boston Boxing Association - now the Cal lahan A. c. - in failing to go the distance. Experts, however. were unable to agree whether the double left hooks and right hand smashes of Rafferty or the superior skill and rapid-fire jabs of Larkin would score first.
 Memoriam
 Tonight's bouts were to be dedi- cated to Andy Callahan of Law renee, former holder of the New England lightweight, welterweight and middleweight crowns who was killed in action last month in Italy. Features will include Eulogy by Mayor James P. Meehan of Law renee, the appearance of 300 wound- ed veterans and the introduction from the ring of various boxers Cal lahan met in his long ring career.
 Topping 26 rounds of preliminary fighting will be the eight round heavyweight match featuring How ard Thompson, the Saugus white hope" and Wallace Cross of Newark, N. J., former National AAU champion.

Just Pickin' the Bone

Hike one, two, three man in motion %e back is fading back for pass, there it goes and is it a beauty, the left end catches it and throws 1t up to score. Huddle . !. Signals the team captain; another trick play; Hike, one, two, three; no folks this is not a game of foot ball featuring your favorite back, Angelic Bertelli, 1t is game of bas- ketball in our own fair city.
 It seems the other day that when St. Francis and St. Pete's met for their annual court clash, ''our man Frioay," observed that before each play the St. Francis combine would call signals and launch an aerial attack. One boy would call signals, the other would shout, Man in Motion," and immediately as in football the man would swing wide around end as another player would fade back, throw the ball high into the air, basket would be the result, at which time a huddle would again be called. Just another story which makes you feel good to know that kids will still be kids.
 I was very pleased the other day, when I received note from Jim O'Brien, former Tech athlete, let ting me know that he has just finished his foot training" two weeks and he has been advanced to corporal. Jim after just entering the service, received his first stripe, a tribute to any hard working, earn est fellow like Jimmy, fellow American. Jimmy just wants to let all his friends know that he is in tip top condition, having the time of his life, working hard. In closing he says that he heard that Crosby beat Leavenworth, but he will still stick with the Engineers.
 Ed. Note: Good luck Jimmy, I hope and know that you won't have to wait long before it's Sergeant Jimmy O'Brien, and the sooner the better.
 Bill Derwin is coming up with 8 plan for forming State Industria, League, in which each city will place an entrant is about the best of ideas to hit this burg in long time. The only one hindrance as pointed out by some of the more prominent court followers is that by the time such league gets started all the eligible, or at least good players will be in the Army.
 Nevertheless the best of luck to Bill, in his new plan, and I offer him one consolation, that by then with the help of God, the war in Europe may be over.
 In summing up all the best wishes and congratulations that John Chick Kelly received on his elec- ton as top man in Connecticut grid officiating circles, there is only one conclusion. That being that the Connecticut Grid Association paid a tribute to Waterbury, when they elected Chick, because they could not have designated a more able of ficial, better sports authority, nor finer fellow; a tribute to man, tribute to city; it happens once in a lifetime.
