Not for many months, in fact not

Gardini, because of his recent
victories over Tofalos and Stejke,
at the Adelphia, is the favorite. He
has posted $1,000 to $1,000 for his

also the strongest. Luigi's speciality

Of an aggravated assault at the
hands of q number Of boxing fans
who disagreed with his decision in
a bout at the Hoxton Baths, Lon.

protege Of Carpenter, and Bob
Jackson. The general view was
that Sullivan had been outpointed,
but the referee awarded him the
decision.
Immediately this was announced
an attack was made upon the
referee, who was struck to the
floor. Tom Broadribb, another
popular referee, went to his col.
leagues assistance and was himself
hit on the head with some weapon.
A well.known heavyweight went to
the rescue of his manager, but
force of numbers compelled him to
fight retreating battle. The
police soon quelled the outbreak
and the program was resumed.

Coach Guyon, however, has been
a thorn in the side OF the official

against Business he played no less
than ten different players and made
nine shifts in his lineup. Had
Guyon kept his first team playing

probabilities are that Eastern would
have rung up much larger scores in
their two engagements than what
they did.

than a set of scales. 1t is a moot
question as to whether that single
pound, plus the others pared off by
Greb in preliminary training, will
not mean the difference between a
championship and abdication.
