BOXING PARS

(By Left Hook.) The large crowd who witnessed the previous bout between Norman Ross 11.9 and George Bowman 11.7 will look forward to their return match on Friday evening next at the Town Hall, Greymouth. They are very fit. and eager for the contest, which is to be a' six round affair. Fans who know will recognise that 'this is probably. the best match that could oe staged in this country to-day. Among the other bouts on Friday night, “Chappie” Mundy is down to meet Mel Ord, and will keep him up to it. all the way. Mel will have to produce something better than he has yet shown to keep “Chappie” at bay. Billy Hamilton and Jackie Mountlord staged a battle royal at Blackball recently, and their return bout here on Friday nighi should produce some tireworks. There is always plenty of action when Billy is on deck. .Some wonderful contests should lake place in the 7.7 section. A special trophy has been donated, and Tomm? Durin, Jackie Porter, Hay Morgan and Maurice Tuck will light .for it. The crowd will be on their toes while these boys are at itMick Ord is to compete on, Friday. Ho is fast, strong and game. 11 Tommy Anderson can make the weight, they will be matched. It should be a" high-light if they are. Jchnnie Knapp, and S. Hargreaves are a pair of nine stone boxers who will nroduco fireworks anywhere ai an>- time. It is possible they. w.u. meet on Friday night and their opponents will be kept prett'- busy. ,1. Finlay is a fast six stone artist, who always puls on a good, display. He is up against a tough customer in V. Mountford, and will have io produce his best form.

S. Garforth, G. OCallaghan, B. Millar, L. Ha'/jes, W. Davey. C. McGougan, R. Jamieson, b. McClure and the Gosling Brothers are all down to compete on Friday night. They certainly will help to make the ■ tournament a big success. All of these boys are good and would not disgrace ■therase!ves anywhere. The Hokitika pair, P. Nutting and R.
