SCOTTISH CHAMP COMING TO WHAKATANE
Early next year Ken Shaw, Scottish professional heavyweight box- * 1 ing champion, is coming -to Whakatane—and he hopes to stay.- Not long ago, it will be 7 remembered, Shaw fought Freddie Mills for the English title and lost. On account of a severe injury to his mouth he /. has" given up professional boxing,
and is going back to draughtsman- i ship for a living. He has chosen Whakatane for his future home on account of the fact
that his uncle, Mr Dave Anderson,
lives here. With even a small share-/ of Uncle Dave’s popularity he should find himself very welcome.
