LEN JOHNSON MAY END
BING CAREER
Lon Johnson, the British colour- ed, middleweight boxer, looks like ending his fistic career,
He is suffering from eye trouble, and has had to decline several en- gagements.
It is a big blow to the Manches- ter boxer, who had big ambitions and no little skill, which is always a great allied asset.
The trouble goes back five years, when during A visit to Australia he was advised to wear glasses for rending and writing.
