It Will Be A Novelty For Paddy Young To In The Other

See Corner

New York, June 15.

Paddy Young, apparently feeling that obscurity is the secret of success, is training in isolated Wilton, N.Y., for his June 19 American Middleweight Championship bout with Bobo Olson, and reports that he will be in the best physical shape of his life for the 15-round bout.

Young has fought no one but Ernie Durando since November of 1951, so it will be a novelty to him to see Olson in the other corner.
