They are dying away now, partly because Mills is again in the league side and also because it has been made very plain once more that Mills does not desire to leave and that we, the club, consider him a player far too valuable to be the subject of a transfer.

Harry Mizler, 22-year-old London Jewish light-weight, landed at the Albert Hall, Ken- sington, last night, when he beat Gustave Humery, whirlwind French fighter, on a technical knock-out in the eighth round. «

As Humery, the tigerish puncher whose blows had sunk wrist-deep into the Englishman's body, whose aggressive battling was winning him the contest in a canter, began to crumple from some astonishing rights to the jaw, 6,000 people leapt to their feet in an excited wave.

dress were standing of their TOMMY LOUGHRAN chairs waving programmes and hats and yelling encouragement
to the gallant Mizler.
