APOSTOLI AND BETTIN A SCRAP Freddie Apostoli To Fight Melio Bettina Friday Night New York. Feb. 1 (U.R) It a about a* close to an even mutch , as any promoter could dream up. but the more daring betters were risking as much as 7 to 5 today that Freddie Apostoli takes Mello Bettina again In their 18-round fight In Madhon Square Garden tomorrow night.

Both boys i vow they learned their lesson* In that fight, and that this time It will Im- different.
