BOXING NOTES
Match For Strickland + Open Air Bout Possible + The Coming Boxers ELLINGTON boxer, Norm. \ , / Tanner, pays a tribute to the boxing ability of Tut Hoggarth, of Greymouth. On his return to Wellington Tanner said that among the many good things discovered on the Coast, someone found a good boxer when Hoggarth was unearthed. (Continued on next page)
(Continued from previous page) Hoggarth is another of last year’s New Zealand champions. He defeated the Taranaki boy, B. Maddern, in the flyweight final. He was disqualified in a semi-final bout in the bantam weight class when he accidentally fouled J. Jenkin, of Auckland, ultimate runner-up in that division. * * * : Prospects for a big open air bout between Maurice Strickland and Al Reeves, at Palmerston North, before the end of the year, are reported to be bright. If the match can be arranged it will take place at the Manawatu Show Grounds on Boxing Day.
Reeves, better known as the "Alabama Kid," made a short trip to Wellington recently to "listen in" to the negotiations. When he left for Auckland the following day nothing definite had been fixed up. * * * That Herman Gildo "can take it" in the ring we all know; but taking it from a car in the street is quite another matter. The popular little man from Manila had no guard ready when a motor car hit him recently. He was not hurt.
