"Alf" Reynolds, palpably lacking training, took the place of Lee.-Sgt. (A 33) Wynne, who had been in- jured at football. The C.D.I did
not let Hong Kong down. He knew a lot about boxing and gave more than he got in the first round. His wind was short in the second and was sent down by a right and left to the solar plexus. Resting until the eighth accond, he began to rise and was on one knee when counted out. He was loudly cheered both |for pluck and his scientific display.
Kirby, much the shorter nian, tried to outslog Baker and paid the penalty by going down twice before being knocked out.
Palm to Kowloon
Mr. Wolfe moved a hearty vote of thanks to the organisers and, he sild, particularly, to those who had assisted towards an excellent even- ing's sport. He also thanked "all those who entered the lists."

Abruptly ending their visit at home of Mrs. Anita Baldwin, wealthy Pasadena, Cal., society woman, Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen and her mother are now believed to be en route home to Paris. At the Baldwin home it was denied that they left because of friction with their hostess. Above, a striking photo of Suzanne as she appears on the courts and a close-up of the famous Lenglen smile.
for merit, Mr. Wolfe continued with a smile.
Kowloon had triumphed and was now equal with Hong Kong In the competition for the challenge cup.
"I am sure I am voicing the opin- ion of all prosent in expressing ad- miration for the C.D.I. in putting up such a fine show against one of the best boxers the Police have pro- duced. His was a most sporting effort and I hope that it will be emulated by other officers should a similar occasion arise."
Stimulua Given Thanks were also tendered by the Captain Superintendent in his witty speech, punctuated by applause, to Messrs. Logan. Sheldon and Bennett of the H.K.B.A. for kind assistance "even', when the South China Command Anals are being held at Kowloon; and also to their old friends," Bond and Clarke, whom he earnestly hoped would not have had their last appearance at a Police boxing night.
The bouts show that there is a sporting spirit alive in the Police, which only needs a little atimulus to bring it forward. That stimulus had been given by Mr. Burlingham (Deputy Superintendent of Police) and Inspector R. H. Marks (Divi- sional Inspector, Yaumati).
