Last night, Johnny undertook the hardest task he has had since he started fighting in the amateurs, that of meeing Ray Hall, Hartford knockout king. 92 .97 . 439 86— 272 95— 287 465—1336 WITH THE BOWLERS CASINO ALLEYS SPECIAL MATCH Fatnirs AMERICAN LEGION DISTRICT Plainville F.

Rather than disappoint the crowd at the state armory last night, he came to New Britain and fought Clinch. ay ROGERS ALLEYS KENSINGTON LEAGUE Sculptors Can You Think of the Good O1d Days When— ———— Patrick Fay of Meriden was a star ball player and every time he “s1| came to New Britain, his visit call- ed for an item in the newspaper? Anderson Maguda Matson Seggblolg Woodford Seabury At first, followers of Clinch ad- vised the New Britain boy not to g0 on with Hall. However, Johnny felt sure he could win and so did his handlers. Their judgment was justified by Johnny's showing.
