Boxing Licenses For NY Clubs At Coney Island New Year
New York police commissioners will grant licenses today to the Polo A C Broadway A C and an unnamed club to stage public boxing shows at Coney Island arena. The Polo Club’s past crowds ranged from 2500 to 500, and Dave Sullivan rose to prominence there. Broadway Club reopens mid month with Sam Austin as manager promising high grade cards. The Greater New York A C demise is linked to Jim Dowdell’s failures. A new era at the arena by the sea is expected to attract good purses and crowds if internal disputes do not erupt. Also Syracuse boxing notes: Joe Goddard Dunkhorst twenty round bout postponed to Jan 18 due to Goddard injury from a recent Kid McCoy match.
