FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION TOO HEAVY FOR BOUT

MCGRORY AND CAPLAN FIGHT TO A DRAW

Glasgow, Aug. 17. Johnny McGrory and Denny Caplan fought to a draw to-night in their ten-round bout here.

The fight was originally "bill- ed" as for the British Empire featherweight title, but McGrory was found to be four pounds over- weight. The men therefore fought at catchweights and the title was not involved.

McGrory was very aggressive at the opening and early on he knocked down Caplan with left and right to the chin.

In the second and third rounds, the Londoner was shaken by body punches but defended gamely despite bleeding from the mouth,

CAPLAN RALLIES

in the tenth round, towards the end of the night, Capina rallied strongly, punishing McGrory with hard rights before the final bell,

Eight thousand spectators cheered Coplan's plucky display.

In view of his being overweight for the Aght, the British Boxing Board of Control has announced that McGrory's Empire and British titles

are vacant.

Caplan is now considered to be the chief contender-Reuter,
