Chicago Boxer Dies of Injury

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 4-Johnny Page, Chicago lightweight fighter, died last night in St. Francis Hospital of a brain concussion suffered in a fight at Hickey Park Arena Monday night. He died without re gaining consciousness. Page was knocked out in the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round bout with Eddie Zivie, Pittsburgh fighter. Until he ran into a terrific left hook in the ninth which sent him down for the count of nine, Page appeared to be getting the better of the fight. A barrage of blows knocked him down again and the referee stopped the fight. Staggering to his corner Page sank into a coma.
