CLABBY AND UREN.
LIKELY TO MEET IN WANGANUI
Local boxing enthusiasts will be interested to learn that there is every likelihood of a match being arranged between J. Clabby and Thos. Uren to take place in Wanganui at an early date. The local Association has been in communication with the boxers named on the subject, and Mr Lewis Cohen (president of the Association) received a telegram from Uren intimating that he was willing to accept the offer made by the Association to put up a £400 purse and give £2 5\ expenses to each man for such a contest. Negotiations are proceeding with Clabby, arid every effort is being made to definitely arrange tte contest, and if these prove successful an opportunity will be afforded followers of the game in Wanganui of witnessing what should be the most interesting disply of scientific boxing ever seen in the Dominion.
