Billy Taylor, former Hartford High school athlete, has been made the favorite by the fans over Johnny Clinch in their bout tonight at the Mohawk A. C. tournament at the Tabs' hall for the amateur weiter- weight championship of northern Connecticut. Those who are fore- casting the outcome of the battle, claim that Taylor's superior speed and crafty ring generalship will en- able him to keep away from Clinch's heavy body blows. i Clinch, however, has a host of sup- porters who point to his triumphs over New York, Philadelphia and other opponents as a criterion as to how the bout tonight will go.

DEMPSEY AND KEARNS T0 MEET AS MANAGERS Mea Whose Fortuncs Once Were Tinked in Boxing Championship May Appear in New Roles. Los Angeles, Feb, 24 (UP)—Jack Dempsey and Jack Kearns, whose fortunes once were linked in the world’s heavyweight boxing cham- plonship, may face each other across the ring as managers of opposing battlers. Such a climax of the feud which has replaced the former amity be- tween the wo Jacks" appeared probable today following announce- ment last night that Dempsey would manage Armand Emanuel, promis- ing young 8an Francisco fighter. The announcement, although r ported several times previousl: came last night from Charle uel, father and present mang young Armand. The announcement was connected with Kearns b any father said Dempsey’s plan of paign included a bout for the young- er Emanuel ‘with Mickey Walker, now managed by Kearns., “Dempsey is to manage my boy | if he doesn’t meet, Tunney again,” the elder Emanuel said “Just now he's giving the boy a lot of good pointers and advice. “Jack Kearns has been bu around a lot, saying what Walke! would do to Armand Emanuel,’} he sald. “The boy is ready to meet Walker any time. Dempsey thinks he would knock out Walker within six rounds.” nanuel formerly was amateur heavywcight champion 7 the United States.
