An American light-weight named Pastel Walterio has arrived in Sydney under contract to Stadiums, Ltd. He is 20 years of age and out of 4S fights he has won 44. The Northern Association has not vet arranged a. match for Auckland, but now that the wrestling season is practically at an end there will be more opportunity for staging bouts. In addition to being a knock-out artist. Jack Roberts, the Australian light-weight, is a good footballer and one writer states that when the mood strikes him Roberts can do everything with a Soccer ball except make it talk. Roberts lias had a long spell from the boxing ring owing to injured hands, but he is now in again. Another Amateur Turns Pro. Fred Fraei, the Auckland amateur light-weight, who announced his intention of going into the money ranks some time ago, has taken out a professional licence and although he has not been definitely matched there is a likelihood that he will fight in the South shortly. Fraei is keen to get a fight with Hector Leckie, New Zea.land light-weight champion, for the title. He is training at Henry Donovan's gym. at Parnell. Morgan and Trowern Bv drawing with Reg Trowern at Grey mouth Ted Morgan has demonstrated that he will be a force to be reckoned with in the near future. This gives the ex-Olympic representative three wins and a draw in four starts, and that he divided the purse with Trowern is an indication that he has a promising future. Although not as good as he was a couple of years ago, Trowern is not a back number by any means and in recent training workouts showed some of his old dash. Trowern’s trouble is that he trained too hard when he was younger and he has burned himself out to a large extent. If he is careful he is still young enough, to fulfil some of the hopes that were held for him. Morgan will again meet Trowern at Gisborne on November 23.
