to win from the Ninth of Stamford, at
the Armory this evening. l‘vcry indi-
cation is that .this "time will be the
greatest contest seen in Tllt' NonIIlks
in sometime. Three times have the
local boys been forced to lower their
colors to the StIIIIIforditcs and tonight
they hope to turn the tables and reg-
istcr at least one defeat to the cilant-
pious. Smith, 01‘ course. will occupy
the center position for the visitors and
whoever matches up against him must
play every minute for the big fellow

most sensational sort in the big game

Square urcounts with Stamford.
