Tracy v. Gault at Wang-anui, September 29. Cripps and Whiting • may meet at Christchurch. The Millerton Association has inquired for- a Hannan-Tracy match. Arthur Kelly and Alf Gault is a talked-of match for Blenheim. Tim Tracy -went to work last Saturday morning as if nothing had happened. Brutal, isn't it, Mr North? Several prominent Sydney pug. artists have intimated their willing-ness to come to Wellington, J. J. North notwithstanding. An American boxer named Fitzsinimons is m Sydney, and is to be matched with the winner of the Burns-Rudd affray^. Bill Kudd is m active training for his^ coming conflict with Ranji Burns, which is to be the main attraction, at the Sydney Sports Ground on or about October 11. The Wellington Association will probably hold another tourney m November. It is possible that an endeavor will be made to put on a Kelly-Hannan return go. Feaink Ellis, the Wellington fea-ther-weight, has decided on a speli. Consequently he will" not go down to Dunedin,. where it was proposed to match him with Mat. Leckie. Charlie Griffin contemplates a flying visit to the Dominion. What's wrong with some Association snaring him ? What with Kelly, Tracy, Hannan all on tap; something should, be doing. We live and learn. In his fight with ■ Charlie Douglas m Westraiia "Dilly Wenand, who was suffering from a damaged ear, was allowed to wear a leather shield over that particular organ. The Wellington Boxing Association receipts for the Hannan-Tracy contest exceeded £300. After paying expenses the Association showed a good profit, and wiped off the deficit of the Hannan-Kelly fixture. Billy Hannan intends having a slow time of if pending his return match with Tim Tracy at Auckland. Billy has been advised by the doctors not to exert himself, and the West Maitlander intends to act on the advice. Has the New Zealand Sports Protection League's attention been drawn to the utterly unscrupulous statements appearing over the name of one J. J. North m the "Evening Post" of Monday last ? If -ever ignorance was displayed it was m this letter. Who says, "The Girl From Rector's," and the Wellington Children's Hospital ? The return match between Tim Tracy and Denny Murphy, for the welter-weight championship, which was .to be decided at Greymouth, is off, but there is a likelihood of the pair meeting at Masterton some time m November. It is, of course, possible that somebody will be found willing to take Tim on, and the Greymouth sports might not be denied a tourney.
