The boxing show scheduled for
Thursday evening at the Hotel Com

joining daily. Under the new arrange
ment the general public will be per-
mitted to witness the bouts at so much

A sanction for the bouts has been
secured from the New Jersey State

between Fred Fulton and Harry Wills,
has been reduced from fifteen to twelve
rounds, to conform with the New Jer-
