Followers of boxing will regret to learn that this Friday's boxing programme at the Canidrome has been postponed until July 1, as Homer Slack of the U.S.S. Augusta, who was supposed to appear in the main event, had injured his right hand in training. Joe Clara, another performer in the programme, is also unable to appear because of fever.
The American had been fixed to meet Peter Lojnikoff for the right to clash with Gaspare Allessandri, while Clara was to have opposed the younger Lojhikolft, Paul, in his debut as a lightweight after a year as a junior welter.
Slack injured tenons in his right hand while sparring with Fireman Watt and, while his injury is not too serious, it is enough to keep him out of action this week.
Slack has aspired to "tangle" with Andre Shelaeff, welterweight champion of the Orient who returns to Shanghai on Sunday in the Naldera.
