The sporting public readily real- izes, that all of the houts are between boys who are high class performers and who will present their wares in a man- ner that will arouse enthusiasm from start to finish. Johsny Darcy, who will face Joe St. Hilair of Concord, N. H, in the star bout of twelve rounds, needs no intro- duction to followers of the squared cir- cle, for Darcy 1§ one of the few light- weights, who performs consistently ov the winning end. All of the bouts he has engaged in the past two years has found him on the winning end ex- cept in one or two Umstances where he hag been outpointed and then by the top-notchers of his division. His ser- vices are constantly in demasd because of his aggressive tactics and his ability to.bring a bout to an end in short order. However, in St. Hilair, who is a boy practically unknown to Connecti- cut followers of the game, the sports will receive a surprise for the young- ster will give the veteran Darcy pro- bably a bottle such as the New Yorker has not experienced in a long time. St. Hilair has fought 65 bouts ard he has emerged a victory in most of them, eith- er by knockout or by points in pract cally all of them. That he is of the top- notch variety wos .displayed recently when he lost a 12 round decision to John- ny Downes of South Boston, but not until Downes had to exert himself in the final.stanzas.
