According to promoter Jim Nisoll, who was :een making numerous hurried trips between the dressing rooms 3f Benny Windle and Len Hitch- ens, it was caused by a disagreement about the types of bandages Hitchens used under his E'.x-ounce gloves. Hitchens originally used elas tic bandages, a trae which he had used while trainins. and which he bslleved to be acceptable. Benny, whose hands were :cund with two - ln?h eimzp nd declined to fight until thev were changed; After a good deal of discus'isn ( "iicr j the seconds, and Suddv- 'rg about to find enough gauze to remind Hit:hens hands, the '. cal bout bejan. However, th2 'ncldent caused a delay of about '5 minutes. WAR ASSETS BOWL STANDINGS W. L. P.
