Unable To Eight For Two Months
HARVEY REJECTS OFFER TO MEET BAERLUND
(By Harold Lewis)
London, June 11. JACK DOYLE was completely exonerated by the British Boxing Board of Control yesterday on all points except one with regard to the complaints lodged by Mr. John Harding, manager of the Na- tional Sporting Club, against Doyle upon his with- drawal from his match with Gunnar Baerlund at Earl's Court on June 28.
Doyle duly appeared at the offices of the Board, as requested. He showed the injured right hand which was his reason for refus- ing to fulfil his contract, and produced a medical certificate which stated that the hand was affected by chronic synovitis and that it would be impossible for him to box for six or eight weeks.
