Start Of Open Air Boxing-
Season In U.S.A.
COOK MEETS RISKO
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association.)
(Received '9 a.m.)
BOSTON, June 17,
George Cook, of Australia, fights Johnny Risko a ten-round bout at Brave's Field to-night, marking the beginning of the open air season.
The Australian's fight with Risko was unexpected, and constitutes his most important engagement since arrival in the United States. •He was substituted for Maloney when the latter received a cut under the eye from a, sparring partner, which rendered him unable to meet Risko as scheduled.
Should Cook defeat Risko his reputation will be considerably enhanced, and better fights will be forthcoming for him.
