BELLOISE SEEKS CHANCE
When a final checkup was made

regain his championship.
Otherwise, the local board finds

National Boxing Association and
other commissions, after five years
during which nobody would agree
on anything in so far as the 1876
Founders were concerned.
UNTIL TOMORROW
However, as for the winner Civ
ing Belloise a chance at the title,
it is barely possible that he will
think twice about it and decide he
doesn't want any such chance
especially if Armstrong wins as ex-
pected.
