With the return match little more

staged by Eddie Graney's club on

the establishment so much he de-
cided to return. Manager Jimmy
Dime reports that Chip took things

but Is ready to get back to the grind.
Tom Mcmahon and Brother Joe Chip
will act as hts sparring partners.
Petroskey is on his ranch near
Reno. but is expected within cou-
pie of days. and will likely go to
the Seal Rock house on the beach,
which camp has housed many ia
nous scrappers. The tar. notwith-
Standing he was knocked out by

victory. He declares the weight

two pounds more. will be all that
he needs to put him in winning con-
dition.
George thinks that the sailor is a
tougher fighter than Billy Murray.
said Manager Jimmy Dime this morn
ing. "Petroskey is one OF those
you all the time. He can puncN
from almost any old angie. and tl,is'
Ia why he is so dangerous. Then
George is going to allow Petroskey
to come in at 100 pounds instead OF

OF advantage for him. SO George VIII
take no chances"
Charlie White and Joe Azevedo,
who ara to box before Jimmy Coft-
