CULVER TO HAVE HANDS FULL IN BATTLE TUESDAY Jack Delaney May Clash With Dempsey This Year Blonde Tiger of East End Meets Harry Gorin in Special Bout. fatevc Culver, the blonde tiger of the East Side, has a tough assignment on his hands when he tackles Harry Gorin of New York In one of the eight round all-star at the state armory next Tuesday night. Culver was originally scheduled to cross gloves with Battling Sena from New Bedford, but, Gorin knocked out Sena In Lynn. last Monday so was signed to take Sena's place.

Gorin Is a pro- tege of Charley Phil Rosenberg's an! is comlnj to the top at fast pace. In twenty-five bouts he has won mote than half of them by kuockouta and has lost but one decision. Eddie El- klns, who recently fought Bruce Flowers to a standstill, Is the only one to hold a decision over Gorin. This Is the first tlmo that Sena has ever been knocked out in nearly fifty fights with the leading light weights In the East. Gorin Is bald to be a masterful boxer with a knockout punch In either hand.

It is a safe bet that this contest will not go the limit as both of these boys are hnrd-hitters. The rest of the card remains Intact with Jim Bones meeting Johnny Scalzi in an eight round bout for the championship of the East Side. They are the two heat boxers of their weight la this section and should scatter action iH large, copious quantities all over the premises when they clash. Willie Husey will mingle with Billy Coe of New Haven la another eight round fray. Coe holds a technical knockout over Hustey and the Hollow boy will be out to turn the tables on his conqueror.

Johnny Balko clashes with Jimmy Rossi In another return bout. Balko gained a close verdict over Rossi on a previous card in a four round bout. This is scheduled for eight rounds and many fans are of the opinion that over the longer route Rossi will triumph The opening bout Is listed for six rounds and will trot out Izzy Cohen and Kid Rash. This Is also a return match the boys having met In Stamford a short while ago and the bout terminated in the fifth causing a near riot.
