Boxing News And Gossip
By G. c. Hawman

The Bogash bout which was can cened because of the suspension of the Pioneer club. will probably be held next week. The Boxing Commits and a hearing will be had today to give the Pioneer S. c. officials a chance to explain. There seems to be slipup. on the part of the Boxing Commission somewhere. A club should not be punished until the case has been looked into, not after it has been ruled out.
 The reason for the club drawing the suspension seems to have been because of a decision by one of the club referees at the Packy O'Matty- Roy Moore bout last week O'Gatty claimed a foul after being handed a good trimming and the referee stopped the bout and gave. the de- cision to the latter. The doctors ex- animation following the bout proved otherwise It looks like another case of sure thing gambling going wrong. O'Gatty's friends had piled their money on their favorite, but Moore claim a foul to save the. bets. But the suspension is expected to be lifted in a few days
