tomorrow afternoon. Fidler has beei out of the hospital lees than a week, after undergoing an opera- -tios for the removal of tjBsiis and bis physician advised him against entering the roped arena at this tune. Fidler's inability to fight will not halt the Riverside program, however, since it was announced yesterday that Albert Knipp, Waterloo, a brother pf Fritz, had been substituted to fill Fidler's place. Knipp is a fast boy and should make Frazier step all the way in their abbreviated battle.
