son, horse. who was heavily back
ed and an easy winner, and which
nRyNsEeriously disappeared after the
race. 1t is believed that the horse was

bouts, and the professional fighters
have taken readily to the suggestion,
and as a starter in that line a board
of three judges will assist the referee
in the coming Yanger-C Callahan bout.
