Boxing News And Gossip
By G. c. Hawnan

Wildcat Nelson, the gentleman that was hammered to all corners of the ring by Marty Summers at New York last week is one of the Dwyer boxers has in mind for Bogash's opponent here this month We are not accus- ing the local boy of picking setups but we would rather see someone else pibed against Smiths battler, some one who would be more than a catcher.
 Kayo Loughulin, who won his eleventh bout of the new year and also his fourth mixup of the week, counting the Hartford 'buSt," by knocking Joe Jackson all over the ring at Philly, seems like good oppo- sition for Bogash.
 Bogash and Loughlin have been on the verge of meeting a number of times but fell through. and the fault doesn't seem to be on Loughlin's part.
 tI is about time that Bogash met a welter of some ability. And he is not wanting for offers either.
