Boston Fight a Burlesque.
Boston sports were forced to endure one
OF those burlesque boxing matches last
week when Sandy Ferguson and Porky
Flynn (whoever he is) undertook to show
the enlightened citizens of the Hub q
sample of the art Of boxing. From the
sample, those who attended a boxing con-
test for the first time were not impressed

Latest advices from Australia state
that Billy Papke soon will return to the
states and not attempt to get on a return
match with the man who defeated him
last month. Papke feels that he cannot
fight at his best In that country, for the
reason that the climate does not agree
with him, and will meet his conqueror in
