They are "Snowy" Clarke, the brilliant West Australian champion; Mickey Miller, bantam and featherweight champion of Australia; and Max Richards, of Queensland. Clarke, who is suffering from a slight injury to his left hand, notified Mr. Lean that the trouble was responding to treatment, and that he would be fit to fight alter the New Year.
