With the exception of the men's 18 heavyweight contest, the finala in the Amateur Novices' Boxing Tournament of the Victoria Recron- tion Club, which were decided.on Saturday night, produced same good
30 fighting, which while not scientific
were full of action.
V. Fernandez was by far the out- atanding boxer in the boys' class, He fought a well planned bout 15 against N. E. Mackay and with the
speed and ringcraft of a profes 63sional gave his opponent a torrifie two-handed beating. Mackay floor- ed his man for a count of nine in the second round, but Fernandez returned, to the attack with deter- mination and punched his way through to a popular decision.

"Special Attraction,"
The "spacial attraction" between Leading Seaman Baker of the Flight Aeroplane Base and Seaman. Hall of H.M.S. "Titanin" was very disappointing, the men being con tent to make an exhibition of it. They improved a little after Mr. W. Logan had called for more action at the end of the third round, but even then they did not put "steam" into the affair., They came out of their shells in the tenth and last round and then both took a few hard jolts, but the gong came just when the spectators were begin- ning, for the first time, to take in- terest in the bout. Hall received the verdict by a narrow margin.
At the close Mr. R.: M. Dyeri (chairman of the Hong Kong Box- ing Association) gave away the prizes to the winners, who earned the title of Champion of the V.R.C. in their respective classes.
The results were as follow:--- Men's Bouts. Bantamweights. A. B. Row-
lands (H.M.S. "Frobisher") 119 lb. beat A. B. Kirkhead (H.M.S. "Fro- bisher") 120lb. on points,"

-Lightweights Pter Hume-(2nd- K.O.S.B.) 132 lb. knocked out L/Cpl. Dewbury (1st/Cameronians) 136 lb. In the first round.
Welterweights A. B. Green (H.M.S. "Frobisher") 144 lb. beat Pte, Carney (2nd/K.O.S.B.) 148 lb. on points.
