weight champion Of Northeastern Penn
sylvania, will become member of the
Scranton Athletic club and in future
will appear in the ring under that
clubs colors and support. Judge was
obliged to withdraw from the Excelsior
Athletic club when he became a pro-
fessional, as that organization belongs
to The Amateur Athletic union. 1t is
understood that the popular light
weight has needed the advice of the
wiser of his counsellors and will re-
frain from signing finish articles with

experienced men. He Is, however,
ready to meet either of them or any
others in his class for limited round
bouts 1t is felt that Judges promis-
ing career should not be jeopardized by
taking chances with fighters who have
fought a dozen battles to his one. The
Scranton boy Is clever, and with proper
care and handling Is destined to have a
Widespread reputation.
