From Montreal's ''The Gazette'' newspaper:

'''HARRY HILL LIKELY TO OPPOSE SANSTOL<br>
'''Bobby Leitham Out of Main Bout<br>
'''on Monday's Show Due to Ear Injury'''

Pete Sanstol, the blonde bantam battler, will probably meet Harry Hill in the main bout of Promoter Romero Delisle's boxing show at the [[St. Denis Theatre]] on Monday night. Sanstol was scheduled to meet [[Bobby Leitham]], ambitious local fighter, but late last evening Dr. McCormick of the Athletic Commission examined the Verdun fighter and announced that in his opinion, Leitham's ear was bad enough to keep him out of the ring. The Commission meets today and will probably act on the physician's report, releasing Leitham from his contract and accepting Hill as a substitute. Hill fought a draw with Leitham at the last show at the [[Monument Nationale]].

Leitham has had a bad ear for several months. It was badly cut in the Paluso match and further injured when he fought Frankie Wallace in Syracuse Monday night.

In any case, the rest of the bouts will be staged Monday night and the promoter has practically secured Hill to take Leitham's place against the bounding Norwegian, Sanstol. The latter worked out in dashing form yesterday and when questioned on what fighter he would take on, answered: "Anybody that weighs under 120 pounds." He laughingly added: "Get Al. Brown," naming the recognized bantamweight champion.
