NEW YORK IA week from
tonight the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world is to be con-
tested in Chicago Stadium, barring
another postponement, and you
would hardly know it around this
ghost town of the fight game.
The once busting offices of the
international Boxing Club are de-

ployes who have nowhere else to

ancient managers, left behind at

Joey Maxim.
