Original Toronto Star caption: Storm Knocks out boxing bouts. Lightning bolt slices through the sky and rain own on them; stubborn spectators still stay ringside seats at borough of York stadium last night in hopes that it is just a temporary downpour. A couple of minutes later; however; they had all fled to cover; and boxing bouts were washed out. [Incomplete]
