Boxing came back to the City with a bang Friday night with the staging of the good card at the Sporting Club and it was (111116 evident from the attendance that the game has plenty of appeal to local sports followers.

There wasn't a dull moment all evening and on top of it all the“! were four knockouts out of the five bouts. It's funny but a fight crowd. no matter what admission they pay, seem to revel in knock- outs and they certainly sot their fill of them Friday night.

‘The following is a letter from our good friend "Big Jim" Pen- -dergast, est-champion heavyweight ,oi the Klondike. gold prospector I and agriculturist which will be read , with interest.

As a class we are appreciative but a bit unemotional and undemonstrative. We could be lmore generous with our applause ,without taxing our energy to any .great extent. It would react in- stantly on the performers and spur them on to greater effort and finesse. They are very human. They "live" for the acclaim of the multitude. Money is just a "con- venience" for them. The "Mid- way" has a great attraction for most people. It brings a cosmo- politan crew together.
