BOXING BRIEFS.
Al Stock, prominent professional welter-weight, has enlisted and will be going into camp any day. Frank Pearcey, boxing instructor at the Auckland Gymnasium, joined up with the forces recently and will soon be donning a soldiers uniform. He had a most successful career as an amateur, winning the bantamweight championship of Hawke’s Bay twice and the Auckland title four times. He won a New Zealand championship in 1929. He has been remarkably successful as a trainer of professional boxers, Neville Mudgway, Vic Caltaux and the McKay brothers being his pupils.-
