out of former worlds lightweight
champion Bob Montgomery in SO
seconds last Friday night, my NOM
ination for the SHOCK of SPORTS
in 1914, regardless of what happens
from nwo on, was the 10 point de-
feat of Naugautck by Morris High
last Weekend; particularly in view
of the fact that Naugy was the
only team that beaten Morris in
more than Is starts and had just
come off 1926 win over Wildly
hte previous Saturday. Before !
forget it, there is time to say that
Joe BakSi, the Culpmont Pa; heavy
meeting Tami Mauriello Friday
night at MSG is not to be sold
short as an underdog capable OF
defeating If not stopping crooner
Sinatra's investment in the CAULI-
FLOWER market. Tami has been
taking PUSHOVER opponents for
the past three months, which will
harm, rather than help him against
q gent Of Baksi's hitting ability.

Charley GI1u) Constantine and
his brother Jim were visitors to
the Democrat building Saturday,
the boxer marveling, no end at
the huge press that whirls out the
newspapers day by day. Kids in
the mailing room gave him quite
recejtion, too. Just now,
Charley has half q mind to get
into some sort of business ven
ture in this city, which he likes
very much. George Brown of
Fairfield, a veteran duck-pinner
averaged 1873 for Is games and a
2,076 total at Willimantic Satur-
day and Sunday, beating a big
field Of 102 and boosting his B.
r. by $500. Waterbury's Same
Salemi and Torrington's Chip
Kemis split $95 each for sixth and
seventh places; while George
Simpson of the Brooksides rolled
new Eastern Sweeps high single
of 1872 in his first block, fifth
game; winding up fifteenth on the
list Of gnishers which brought him
$35 the same amount won by the
New Haven express. Jack White
who finished right behind Simp-
son.

Carmine Fatta, New Yorker who
has shown in MISC prelims several
times, boxes Jackie Connors of N. Y.
