Shelaeff Very Earnest

Shelaeff is working out at Paddy Ryan's downtown gymnasium, and is one of the most earnest young men seen in some time. He never shirks an iota in his labours, and is always in good condition when he enters a ring.

Shelaeff and Fasano will stage their return bout in an eight round semifinal at the Dreamland Auditorium on November 25.

Fasano, who has beaten scores of crack welterweights during a long career as a club fighter, is an extremely tough nut to crack. Early this year he vindicated his title of King of the Club Fighters" by knocking out Johnny Marquez, highly touted National A.A.U. welterweight champion last year.

He followed this up with a convince ing victory over up-and-coming Norb Gerrard of Chicago.—United Press.
