Promoter Considers Boxing Postpone Amid A A U Expulsion Threat
In Norwalk a three hour talk between Connecticut A A U president William Kennedy and Red Men's Athletic Association chair Jake Dick ended with undecided action on canceling Wednesday’s benefit boxing show. The discussion followed the death of Horace Alift from last week’s amateur bout and coroner inquiries into minors at the event. Kennedy vows to purge graft, warns any show setters risk amateur status loss and Red Men expulsion unless they postpone. Governor Trumbull plans to back a 1939 bill bringing amateur boxing under state control.
