He finished the day with three rounds of bag punching and two skipping rope. He weighed 193 pounds. Risko worked equally as hard but with0 less vehemence. , He bounded through four rounds of boxing with both Frank Lennon and Jeff Baulknight, light heavy weight warriors who accompanied him here yesterday, from Cleve land. Risko weighed 193 after two additional rounds at the heavy bag. Sharkey after the workout paid a visit to Rickard, after which he said: "I'm e ashamed of the only ex planation I can give for my poor showing in that draw with Tom Heeney. You know how it is.
