This is the first State championship
that has ever been held for the

the sport.
As a special inducement to the
boxers the athletic committee of the

mond- studded and ruby-studded
medals to the winners, instead of
just the plain regulation gold and
silver medals, which ought to prove
an extra incentive for them.
