There are said to be indications that if accommodation can be made available in the Town Hall, the attendance at the Leckie-Sarron contest to-morrow night will exceed the record established when Sarron met Grime here in December. Leckie is due to arrive to-day, and his friends are confident that he has never been in better condition since joining the professional ranks. The same applies to Sarron, who is reported to have put in an exceedingly strenuous training course. Both have the reputation of being fighters rather than boxers, who believe that attack is the best defence, so that patrons may well look forward to witnessing ope of the best contests staged for a long time. Arrangements- have been made to provide the very limit in accommodation, and patrons who have not already secured tickets will still he able to book reas'onably good seats by visiting the box office.
