MONDAY'S HIS CHANCE

Radford Can Square Up If He Is Good Enough

After Johnnie Leckie was adjudged victor over Norman Radford at Dunedin, Radford was prepared to sell his kingdom for another meeting with lad Johnnie.

HE got it, and then again he did not, for, just when all was set for the return, Leckie had to drop out to allow a damaged hand to mend. But Johnnie is all right now and he will be oh hand on Monday > evening at Wellington. He will be Johnnie on the Spot, and will endeavor to help himself to another slice of Yorkshire pudding. In their initial meeting Leckie found that Radford agreed with him m every respect but one — Norman thought it was not right to give the verdict against him. Some agreed with him — m^ny did not — but Monday evening should end the controversy. Radford has come through his,training m fine style, and m an exhibition at the Town Hall a fortnight back showed he was a clever boxer. What he did not know about the • tricks of the trade— -good and badwere not worth worrying about.

He is going to go all out this time to make it an even break. Leckie is satisfied that his injured hand is, better than ever before and he will not be afraid to try it out. He has m mind several convenient places to land it upon, and there will be no need to urge him to do so. It will only be a lack of opportunities that will bring about that deadlock. In the/previous meeting of the pair there was.a lot of close stuff, but Monday will probably find the boys kept at arm's length. EarU Stewart is no member of the Get Together Club. He's a good mixer, but not m that manner. "Wellington is anxious for the mill, and the plan is getting all messed up by a young lady who carries a blue pencil; • When she retires she should put m an application for the Noughts and Crosses title! Amateurs, as per usual, will tickle the palate before the main joint is served. . -„
