STURINO AND “Y” TEAM MEETS MIDDLETOWN SATURDAY ”'fi.’: HOWARD IN GREAT SHAPE FOR BOUT New York “Iron Horse” Anxious to Get in Ring With Connecticut Middlew eight Champion—LaPera to Meet Adamson, Welterw eight Titleholder—Johnny Crock to Be Seen in Action—Members of Franco- American Club Entered in Tournament. Joe Sturino, “Iron Horse” of New York who won by a decision over | Nate Dunn, New York state amateur middleweight champion, in four rounds last Monday night, is feeling fit for his battle with Joe Howard, middleweight title holder of this state, in the Mohawk A, C. amateur tournament at the state armory to- morrow night. On the other hand, reports from Joe Howard's camp in the Capital City state that he is in perfect shape for the tough go he knows he will have on his hands in meeting the New Yorker. Sturino lays the blame for his knockout at Howard's hands a weck ago last Friday to the fact that he did not have sufficient time to train for so tough an opponent. He was asked on Wednesday to come to Connecticut to meet Howard and had only that day, Thursday and & part of Friday in which to train. His work against Nate Dunn Mon- day night is proof enough that he is in the proverbial “pink.” His one object in seeking the return bout with Howard, is to show the fans of this eity that Howard's punch that put him to sleep and ended their last bout, was a lucky one and he predicts that he will knock Howard out this time. Howard in answer to this say “ T will repeat my victory over the big New Yorker. I know his style now.” Frank LaPera, New York welter- weight champion, will again show his wares in the ne touranment against I'ritz Adamson, Connecticut welterweight champion. LaPera showed a world of stuff in his ini- tial appearance in this city but he didn’t have much opposition. In meeting Adamson, it will be a case of champion against champion an inter-state matech. To make the card every detail, den, will make his initial appearance in a New Britain ring. Johnny is train- ing every day and right now is pre- complete in pared to take on the toughest bhors | in the state in his class, Herwill be stacked with either Pancho Villa or Charlie Romano, two lightweights. Another New York champlon will be added to the tourney this week in Jack Brophy, a 128 pounder. mnmw a tough serapper who has howled over all opposition in New York state and he is anxious to get zoing against a Connecticut fighter in his own class. He will be match- ~d with Frank Moore of Waterbury who can be depended on to give Brophy everything he sends. The supporting card pearance of these champions and title holders is about the best this city has seen since the amateur sport was revived here. The Franco- American club of Waterbury fs bringing its amateur team here and the members of it, in their previous fights here have all wormed way into the favor of local fans. Besides these, Johnny Clinch, Zotter and Terry Fagan from this city will he matched in bouts. Mingo Travers, brother of Micky of pro- fessional fame will be on the card as will many others of equal promi- nence. There will be 10 houts to- morrow night, each of which will be = sensation in itself. The management of the Mohawk A. C. has arranged to have the re- sults of the rounds of the Delane Maloney fight, announced at the ringside. There will be a total of 2,500 chairs in the hall but none of them will be reserved.
