Boxing notes from Perth talking of Stone and Morton
In a January 7 letter Westralia's ring master reports on Harry Stone in hospital after a New Year bout with Fred Holland and outlines the Stone Morton clash at the Perth Oval as a crowd drawing event. Red Mitchell also scores well and eyes a match with Ernie Hickling. The Stone-Holland fight, though praised for action, fails financially due to Turf Club racing on the same day.
