BATTLE FOR TITLE HONORS

DALMERSTON, on Monday evening next, will stage its first fight for many, many months. But, to kick off with, a good sort of mill has been selected. In Monday evening's entertainment there are two leading roles to start off with, but at the conclusion only one will be needed — the winner. Whether he is the hero or the villain matters not! Harry Casey, a wild man with a wallop, is allowing Nelson McKnight to have a shot at his middle-weight title., "It's yours for the taking, but look out how you take it!" Casey is a regular fighting machine and there is only one thing he likes better than fighting — and that is some more fighting. He hits 'em with everything, and they have been known to stay hit, too. McKnight, having his first outing for some months, did not look himself at Auckland — and he certainly did not fight like the McKnight of qld. . His style is to go m and hand them out with a liberality that is appreciated by a crowd, but not by an opponent. « But with Casey it wiJI be "Thanks very much, old chap, and the same to you— with gloves on," It should be a good night's outing, for, m addition to the big dust-up, there is quite a select amateur programme.
