••all right for topNOTCHERS" According to Tommy Fairhall, •ormer well-known boxer, who arrived from Sydney by the Wanganella today, the boxing game in. Australia at the present time is all right if a man is a top-notcher. Generally speaking, he said, the money to be obtained today from boxing in Australia was not what it used to -be. Outside a few boys there were not many who made much out of the game. While in Sydney, Fairhall saw Max Rosenbloom, ex-light-heavy weight champion of the world, work out. He is a crafty, old boxer," said Fairhall. Heference was made by Fairhall to two New Zealanders, Val Luttrell and J. Jarvis. He said that Jarvis had linked up with the well-known trainer Jack' Dunleavy. Fairhall said he saw Luttrell win one fight, in which he knocked out his opponent in three rounds. In another match Luttrell had been stopged in a round and a half by Pat Appleton, who was too experienced for Luttrell. _ , Questioned about Ambrose Palmer s defeat by Leo Kelly, which he did not see, Fairhall said that those with whom he had talked seemed to think that Kelly was too good for Palmer. • Since his retirement from the ring Fairhall has resided at Timaru. He has been to Sydney for a holiday.
