Jack Hood and Alf Mancini fight for the welter-weight championship—n most intriguing fight and one that is not without piquancy, for the two have been reared in the same stable.. It is not necessary for me to tell you that they should have settled their little difference as to who is top-dog some time ago at the National Sporting Club.
