Bruce Is Loose and Lnras To Fight
D JOHN A. 0EUNBY

American fight fans waited a long time, many years at least to zee an English heavyweight who can and has the ''heart" to fight but they got quite an eyeful last week, when the British Empire champion gave TaTni Mauriello all he could handle and more, before atupping a terrific right hand enash-with his jaw. Flat on his hacl. Woodcock was counted out in the middle of the fifth round ala pInil Scott and Bonlbardiel wells, but 1t would be the greatest iriugtice to mention the 22-year- old Woodcock in the same breath with Fatntin' Phil or glass-chinneo wells, for he is so far superior tc iokh Of his English heavyweight champion predecessors that com- parison is impossible.
 One reason I went to see him
 lnsG Friday was with the ex-
 nectation that MauriellO, a mur-
 derous puncher, would probably
 mock the EngIishman as cold as
 . frozen fish before half the ID"
 round bout had finished. That's
 exactly what happened, but let
 me emuhasize as clearly as pos
 sibIe, that 196-pound Mauriello
 was given the fight of his life
 by the lS6-pOund WOOdcOck, who
 has the ''heart" of the British
 Non; can take as hard a punch
 as any heavyweight. Louis in-
 cauded, could throw at him; and,
 despite his pOundage, which IS

Boston, the Braves management wants publicly to welcome you to the town.

 Everything considered, Woodcock more than held his own with his conqueror, right up to the knock put; and, more important, he has done much to reduce the ridicule that American fight fans usually associate with English boxers, be- cause of the frightened tactics of Scott, Wells, Jack Doyle and their alk.

This league will take the place of one sponsored by the American Legion, last season, and will give boys in the IS to 1s age bracket, e chance to play ball during the summer months Many teams in Waterbury and vic- inity have hesitated about going into the Public Parks League, be- cause of the fact that there is no age limit, and this would give their younger players no chance to play.
