Dave Shade, the Californian yateran, at the Albert Hall. This condition, as everyone knows, was successfully fulfilled, and Harvey, greatly delighted, turned eagerly to the prospect of visiting the United States. "I am only waiting for the word to sall," he declared,
But apparently there has been a change of mind. On reflection Harvey's manager has arrived at the conclusion that at the present stage of the British champion's career, it would be taking a very 81 great and unnecessary risk to nend |Harvey to fight for a world's title Win a strange country, before
strange crowd, and in a climate to 1which he was unaccustomed.

Strange Decision.
I could scarcely believe this, but
7 on inquiry I learned that it was 80. While Harvey was keaner than ever on facing Walker, his mana-
23 ger, I discovered, wanted the match to take place in England, O and he felt sure that some promo- 11ter would arise to make this pos 12 sible.
.B
Thus, if that contract ever ar rives from New York it is possible 137 that it will be returned minus
Harvey's signature.

* H.K.C.C. RESERVES AGAINST
THE POLICE.
In that event I am convinced that 2a grave blunder would be made, as there is nothing more certain that if Harvey did refuse to vialt New York-his-chance-of--becoming world's champlon would be delayed for several years. He might miss it altogether.
The following will represent
If Harvey means to awai! the H.K.C.C. 2nd eleven against Walker's arrival here, then I think the Police on the latter's ground he is likely to wait for ever, 88 to-morrow:-
Walker's price for defending his W W. Mackenzie, R. H. Wild championship is something around
G. A. Wright, E. J. Collins, R. S. W. Goals. Paterson, J. Chadwick, P. W£20,000, and a promoter who paid P. W. D., LF AP, Planner, J. McFarlane, H. J. Arm- that sum in England would be Rangers 17 12 3 2 43 15 27 strong. E. C. Etherington, and R. committing financial suicide.

Financial Suicide.
There is nothing, like striking the iron while it is hot; and it is to be hoped that if a definite offer is made' Harvey to meet Walker in December at Madison-aquare Gar den he 'will not décline it.
Frankly, I am at a loss to under- stand the attitude of British cham- pions towards these world's titles, which mean so much in prestige and money.
In the old days English boxers
| fought without payment of any sort, so that they might have an opportunity of winning s
cham- pionship. They realised that a title was a commercial asset, and that once at the top there was a fortune to be made.
Yet we have "the case of Kia Berg, after carning the right to meet Al Singer, for the world's light-weight title, declining the match because the percentage of the gate offered him did not come up to his expectations. And now Harvey talks of rejecting a similar match unless It can take placo In his own country.
It almost makes one wonder whether British boxers are serious In their quest of world champion- ship status.
Obituary,
The death of Major Charles Peter Allen recalls memories of the famous Oxford. "movement" under Harry Vassall that “made" the Rugby, game., Allen, was in those ever glorious Oxford sides that Vassall and Tatham akippered, "and" was one of the 17 Rugby Inter- nationals who wereup at Oxford at the same time, He played: against Cambridge at Blackheath in: 1882, and 1883. At Leeds in "1884- he obtained the first try ever: scored by Wales in the International' matches with: England. Allen had pace and was a delightful kick with. either, foot he played three- quarter back as a ruló in an era when the third line had mostly to make its own chances,
Major Allen went up from Rugby to University College, Oxford, and, In addition to his sporting activi-" ties, took his degree with honours fa modern history. He was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in | 1888, and est as member of Parila- mont for the Stroud Division of Gloucestershire from 1900 to 1918. He was's Charity Commissioner (unpaid), and was sworna; member of the Privy Coun- cfl'm2 1912. Major Allen travolled” a “good deal in the Near East, and saw service on the Western Front
