More Enlistments + Paying The Piper + Pascoe Moves On Offer But No Takers
HEN seen recently in Welling\W/ ton, Johnny Leckie looked very fit. The ex-light-weight champion is still keenly interested in the game in-which he made a great name for himself. * * % Cliff Hanham, the Waimate light heavy-wéight, is another to enlist "for active service. His trainer is endeavouring to secure him a contest prior to his going into camp. %* * * Harold Reeve, Bob Coughlan of Manawatu, and Sefton Walsh and Ted Oxley of Pahiatua, have all joined up. * * * The Hutt Valley Association’s open air contest between Vic Caltaux and Stan Jenkin, which is to take place next month, is likely to be an exciting meeting. The welter-weight title will be at stake.
Boxers in the States do not always receive the portion of the purse which is their’ die as winner or loser of a contest. When sparring partners, gym fees, and managers have been paid and reporters tipped, the boxer’s share is usually reduced by half. * % * Billy Pascoe did not stay long in Wellington. Finding Costello was unable to accept his challenge and that he was unable to carry out his intention to "come back" owing to the lack of even one opponent, Pascoe moved on. * * * Johnny Hutchison, Sydney light- and welter-weight boxer, signified his willingness to visit New Zealand and engage in a series of contests, but he has been advised that all eligible New Zealand opponents have ‘enlisted and that his intended visit would not be remunerative.
