fans in California intend TO make al

boxing on the Pacific coast Ever
since the law for 20 round contests
was repealed more than two years ago
there has been a howl from many
quarters for real boxing. It IS evident
that the law would never have been

Beecroft had good curve ball

Fredette cought his usual snap
by game and pegged beautifully.
Eek drove one to deep center in

Bethel knocked down a hard smash
