LAST NIGHT'S BOXING
HEAVYWEIGHTS HAD THE CROWD
IN AN
UPROAR
(By Our Boxing Correspondent)
A capacity crowd packed the Missions to Seamen fast night at a boxing show in aid of the late AB J. Cook's Memorial Fund. This most worthy cause benefitted to the extent of around $2,000 and the big crowd benefitted to the extent of 13 lively and interesting bouts.
It has long been said that the Mission is the place to visit if you want to see action and thrills in the ring, and inst night's audience got enough of both in the heavy- weight meeting of Buck and Ashby to do them for a long time.
