serged through the streets adjoining
the Garden. and the police reserves
were called out early TO clear the
thoroughfares. Every seat In the am
phitheatre was occupied when the
contestants entered the ring. The doors
were closed shortly afterward and
thousands of disappointed patrons OF
boxing were turned away.
