PHILADELPHIA, Jan. H-Darkey
Haley. champion OF England. who made
his first appearance in this country at
the National on Saturday night, has all
the earmarks of a good one.
Remembering Ike Bradley, local en-
thusiasts We're skeptical, but when they
saw him put up his hands against our
own Tommy O'Toole, they knew he was
a long way removed from a lobster, and
that the Pride Of Port Richmond had a
Job in front OF him. They were at IL
every minute of the six rounds. and al
the finish there was little or nothing to
choose between them.
The advent of a boxer OF the class OF
Haley at this stage OF the game Is q
godsend 10 the cranks who have become
