When Better SPORTS s Bout PICKED TO BEAT WEINERT AND WALKER IN BIG SHOW 50,000 Boxing Fans Are Expected to Be at Polo Grounds for Italian Hospital Fund Fights. Two Preliminaries on Card. By the Associated P NEW YORK, July 2.—Rain which began falling this morning threatened to force a postponement of the Italian Hospital fund box- ing bouts, scheduled for the Polo Grounds tonight. Although Weather Bureau officials predicted that the rain would continue this afternoon and evening, Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy said he would not decide on definite postponement until late today. Fair weather was forecast for tomorrow. If the rain continues until tomorrow, causing an indefinite post- ponement, Promoter Fugazy said he faced a heavy financial loss, as the show was not covered by insurance. As the New York Giants open their next home stand against Philadelphia on Sunday the show cannot be held Saturday night, as it is impossible to clear the field of the temporary seats during the interval between the fight and Sunday’s game. The Giants continue their home stand until July 21, making a future date a matter of speculation, unless arrangements can be made to shift the bouts to the Yankee Stadium, now under control of Tex Rickard.
