BOXER DONOVAN
Unable to Meet Whitlow HUGHES SUBSTITUTED The Wellington Boxing Association yesterday received a telegram from Tommy Donovan, of Taranaki, stating that on account of an injury received in his contest with Bobby Blay at New Plymouth, his medical adviser had forbiddep him to keep his contract to meet Allan Whitlow at Wellington next Thursday night. The Wellington Association at once approached Archie Hughes, the Australian, who promptly agreed to take Donovan’s place. Hughes, as he proved in his contest with Joey Thomas, of Chicago, at Wellington last Monday night, is a rugged boxer, and as Whitlow is of ' the same size and build, and also believes that aggression is the best' means of defence, the battle between the pair should be worth seeing. / The box plan for preferential booking will open this morning, and for general booking to-morrow morning.
