COOK TO FIGHT RISKO
AUSTRALIAN’S BEST BOUT SO FAR SUBSTITUTE FOR MALONEY (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9 a.m. BOSTON, Monday. The Australian boxer Cook fights Johnny Risko in a ten-round boLit at the Braves Field tonight, marking the begininng of the open-air season. The Australian’s fight with Risko was unexpected, and constitutes his most important engagement since his arrival in the United States. He was substituted for Maloney when the latter received a cut under the eye from a sparring partner, which rendered him unable to meet Risko as scheduled. Should Cook defeat Risko his reputation will be considerably enhanced, and better fights will be forthcoming.
