BOXING NOTES.
By “Straight Left.” Bill Pluto is expected to arrive in Paliiatua on Thursday next. Tile Australian welter-weight is reported to be in flue fettle. Harold Reeve is leaving no stone undisturbed in liis efforts I<> lie fit and well and those attending to the local boy’s training operations are quietly confident. It should be a great scrap. Tlie two lightweight ci acker jacks—equal to anything the Dominion can produce in the amateur light-" eight section— Joe Collins Alanawaiu, and F. Finnega.ll, AVellington. should provide a stirring encounter. These- lads arc in the very pink of condition. Roth clover boxers, up to all the tricks and strategies of the game, and both very fast and veiy aggressive. Opinion as to tlie result of this contesi is very, very even. F am tipping this clash to be one ofthe very best fights ever seen in the district The last time they met “Trader” Horne was reported to have done a tenner on tin Wellington champion, who only had a week’s training or less for the liout. As it was Finnegan only lost, by a. small margin. 011 Friday night both hoys will lie in superb fettle.
