MISKE AND RENAULT
TO BOX IN BROOKLYN
Interesting Heavyweight Con-
test Set for Tonight at
Rink s. C.
BY CHARLES F.. MATHIsON.


The most important heavyweight box
ing contest that has been held in Brool,.
lyn in several years will be staged at
the Rink Sporting Club tonight when
Billy Miske faces Jack Renault in a
fifteen round encounter. Renauit claims
the heavyweight championship of Cam
ada, and he proved himself to be one OF
the most serviceable sparring partners
| for Dempsey when the champion was
training for his bout with Carpenter.
with feet and hands, fairly good boxer
and hitter.
Miske, who has shown marked i'm
provement in his recent battles, will
have the advantage of experience. When
the st. Paul man first entered the ring
in this vicinity several years ago he
was noted for good boxing and general
ship. but he was deficient in hitting.
Since recovering from a protracted H.
ness Miske has developed heavy
punch and more aggressivencss than
was thought possible. He has taken on
| weight also and in all respects looks to
be formidable heavyweight. The vet
eran should win. although the task is
not apt to be an easy one. Renaults
strength may enable him to last the
limit, but the chances are all in favor
Of Miske getting the decision OF the
judges.
In addition to the chief event Johnny
Gray will meet Teddy Seidman, Young
Diamond will box Willie CARRIER and
Ernie Kohler will clash with Jack
Marge.

by this evening he will miss the chance
to appear here on February 6 and
Stranger Lewis will be sent in against
Caddock.
Lewis is at present signed to meet
Rcnato Gardini but will be released
