VETERAN BOXER IN HOSPITAL
Just before Christmas, Mr Joby Culverhouse, Dumfries Street, Treherbert was accidently knocked down by a motor car. Both of his legs were fractured and he also sustained pelvis injuries.
He is now at the East G
lamoran Hospital, where it was stated this week that he is as well as can be expected.
lamoran Hospital, where it was stated this week that he is as well as can be expected.Joby will be affectionately remembered by Rhondda sportsmen as the famous Welsh boxer of fifty years ago when his perfect style enabled him to beat some of the leading middleweights in the Principality and further afield.
He is a modest and likeable man and his very many friends wish him steady recovery.
