At the annual meeting of the Hong Kong. Boxing Association, held yesterday evening in the Board Room of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Company, Mr. R.. M. Dyer, who presided, referred to the successful tournaments held Inst season, which showed a profit of over $1,400. Unfortunately, the general account was down about $35, and an appeal was to be made for early payment of over- due subscriptions.
There was a good deal of talent In the Navy, mostly new to the Colony, and another successful season could be looked forward to. Mr. Dyer, presenting the report and accounts, said:---

I have not yet had the opportunity of closely analysing what are the reasons for this sluggishness, but as on the whole the majority of our sprinters seem to be singularly slow of the mark It may be of help to many if I offer a few suggestions.
The Start.
Too much time and trouble can- not possibly be spent over start- ing. It is not that the difference between a good and a bad start. may, mean as much as a yard in the first ten, and that, la fatal enough; but the man who gets an indifferent start is worried about it all the way, and not only loses the, actual distance resulting from the very start itself, but never really runs his best throughout the race.
Regular. Increase Stride.
I am convinced from my study and practice that the bost method of starting is that by which the runner attains to his maximum speed by strides which increase regularly in length until the maxi- mum stride is reached.
That First Stride.
The first thing to be meticulous By careful about is the very first stride. Apart from the question

are often quite well away for the first stride or the only to come, too upright and definitely dwell in of a bad position In the holes their strides (and I observe many sprinters Winter: Practice. digging their holes too close to gether and siso too near to the starting line), the main fault is the anxiety of runners to get into their running, too quickly,
Over-Anxiety,
I strongly advise anyone who wants to improve his-aprinting to spend considerable time in the Winter months making those first half-a-dozen or even more strides a matter of such precision that he can put down pieces of paper at measured distances along the track and pick them up with his
Perhaps it will come as a aur prias to readers to know that when I was sprinting. I never
reached my maximum stride until spikes.
Model Strides. Here is a list of my first 15 strides:--
1, 3 ft. 3 in; 2, 3 ft.; 3, 4 ft. 1 in.; 4 4 ft. 71⁄2 in.; 5, 4 ft. 10 in 8, 5 ft. 6 in.; 7, 6 ft. 7 in.; 8, 5 ft. 111⁄2 in.; 9, 5 ft. 111⁄2 in. 10, 6 ft. 8 in.; T1, 6 ft. 4 in.; 12, 6 ft. 61⁄2 in.; 13, 6 ft. 7 in.; 14, 6 ft. 11 in.; 15, 0 ft. 10 in.
Length Cut Down. My maximum stride throughout the race was 7 ft. 8 in. This
was
in early May, 1924, when I ran a trial in 0,02. After that I set about cutting down my length, so as to get better weight distri tion and more balanced body con- trol. I think by the time of the 1924 Olympic Games my maxi- mum stride would be under 7'It. 6 in.
"Speed Wobble.” Another small matter which will tend to result in a bad action in sprinting is the succumbing to the temptation of watching an oppon- ent, particularly if he is slightly ahead. This inevitably leads to your stride going too far out to the left or right, as the case may be, with the resultant "speed- wobble."
Mechanical Performance, Sprinting really should be re- duced to an absolutely mechanical performance. Ideally, class sprinter should always cover 100 yards in exactly the same number of strides, and at full speed each stride, should be the same, length. I do not suggest that this is real- ly attainable, but it is what one, should aim at
