Railway Workshop Gymnasium Boxers

Railway Workshop Gymnasium Boxers.

What would the Wellington Boxing Association do for amateur boxers if it did not have the services of the Railway Workshops Gymnasium boxers? That was a question asked me a few days ago. It is not an easy one to answer. At each professional match staged in Wellington, most of the amateur supports include representatives from the Railway Workshops gymnasium … and most of these boys win their bouts. So regular are the appearances of railway boxers in Wellington that a chorus of disapproval went up recently when a boxer to meet a railway lad walked across the ring to occupy the corner usually used by railway boxers. That corner was more or less held sacred for railway boxers.
