Fus. Owens and Bud Whelan: Fus. Fisher and Young Aromin
(By "REFEREE")
I am informed that Fus. Owens, who gave Bud Whelan the fight of his career at the Po Hing Theatre last Friday night, when the two fought to a draw for the feather- weight championship of the Co- lony, will meet again next month.
It is proposed to arrange for an- other drawing feature on the same card, and Fus. Fisher, who dea- feated Young Aromin, for the ban- tamweight championship of the Colony, may be persuaded to stake his title in a return bout.
