NEW YORK, April Sit is difl.

ager matched the Cleveland fighter
with Young Stribling so soon after
he had declared he did not intend
to let Johnny go into any more bouts
with fast, clever men until the big
fellow had speeded himself up.
May be the Risko crowd has an
idea that Strib is neither fast nor
clever. If SO, they are due for an
awakening.
On the one hand. Risko takes few
chances of receiving any serious dam.
age, while on the other hand, there
is always a fine chance that he will
catch the speed boys tiring in the
latter rounds and smear them good.
Maybe he will thus catch the At.

stantly In his boxing. and II so he may
