More than a0 new henches have been built for the ringside seats and these will | be placed so that every seat in the pacious amphitheater will afford its holder a good view of the ring. Official inspection of the velo- drome has been made and the . with the improvements and he repairs made by the Hurley Boxing club, have heen declared ab- solutely safe. Besides this, the club | has taken out liability insuranee | which will protect any of the fans in case of accident. This is the first time this has been done in this sec- | tion at such an affair. There are over tickets already sold, the best kind of 6,000 ringside according to information. The seats in the stands on either side of the ring go on cale today and, | without. a doubt, these will meet great demand According fo the promoters, the cemand for tickets is the biggest ev- er experienced in recent years in s are rig! this state. The price t and the fans are so hot about the bat- tle that a capacity house is expect- ed. promoters at first figured i ounting to $60.009 bhut now they figure $65,000 or $70,000. There s little fear in the Hurley ump that Dave Lumansky will meet with any sucecess in his efforts to stop the fight. No contracts have filed and neither Battalino or iger, Hy Malley, have sign- pape gresing to fight An dy Martin or any other fighter. The Na yestord Boxing ¥ sanctioned the bait Bat B no as a log- der. This removes the obstacle to the fight on the Association ical conte i letter at the sports Pawness 1oothall team manager.

Or must he wear shoes? This weig De ty problem confronted the Illinois state athletic commission | foday. Derry never wore years azo, when he®r birthday. Since taking up boxing. the big Irishman found it difficult to move about in the ring with shoes on. So he merely wears a hea pair of socks, or sometimes battles in his bare feet. Derry engages another Trishman, Kennedy, in an eight round pre- to the Tuffy Griffith-George bout in the Chicago stadium night. Kenn learning that shoes are a handicap to his op- ponent, insists Derry wear them.
