Contests Contracted

Offer to Hay ARTIE HAY has been offered a trip ** to Sydney, but he has not made up his mind one way or the other. His winning sequence has impressed those m control across the Tasman and they no doubt want him to meet Jack Haines. . ' -, There would be good money for Hay m this contest and "Truth's" Sydney rep. is of the opinion that Artie Avould collect £300 for his chop. At Gisborne < , y,_ GISBORNE had a ?pro. fight a fortV night back ahd now the second of the season will tie fought oil : February 14. „..'•.. ,:77 ,'-.".. ...".' The principals will be. Ted Morgan and Reg. Trowern. - The pair met last year -in Greymouth and after a very fine exhibition the referee could not separate them. Referees All THE big three were met during the •*• course of the Trentham meeting — Artie Beban, Cliff. Thomas and Earl Stewart. Artie looks the same old Artie, but Cliff, has faded away m recent times. He is still the same old optimist. "Mick" was brand new and even the exacting task of trying to pick winners could npt undermine his confidence. Big Purses IN the south it is held that the Coun- * cil should step m and stop the giving of purses which exceed the maximum. "Truth", is m agreement with this, but when associations render their returns to the Council they only fill m the maximum purse allowed — no more, no less. There is some feeling m certain quarters about certain fighters, but when it comes to talking of going over the limit m the matter of purses it is just as well to remember that people who live m glass-houses , Should not throw stones. It is understood that the Council is circularising associations on the matter of purses.
