IN KOTEWALL CUP DAZZLING DISPLAY BY TAY QUEE-LIANG

TH
HE meeting of South China and the Royal Navy in the Kotewall Cup series at Sookun- poo yesterday drew a large attendance to that ground and one of the best of this season's repre- sentative games was witnessed.
The Navy, after being twice led, ended the first half on level terms, and then after the interval they recovered to such an extent that for four-fifths of the second period they confined the South China team to their own territory and secured the winning goal through Rose, thus registering a splendid victory by the odd goal in five. They will now have to meet the Army in a play-off for the title.
Jock McAvoy, here seen standing over his fallen opponent Jack McCay, light-heavyweight champion of Canada, will be meet- ing Jack Petersen, the British and Empire heavyweight champion, in a titular bout this month.
Tribute must be paid to the fighting qualities of the Navy eleven as South China started the game in whirlwind manner- they actually scored in the first minute without a Nava} player Louching the ball and within another two minutes again had the hall in the net, only for Lai Shui-wing to be given offside. More over they were easily the better combination in the early stages. in fact, throughout the entire first half their play was superior to Saturday's Results At that of the Navy and it was some considerable time before the sailors settled down.

New York, March 14.
JOCK MCAVOY'S gallant bid for the world's
cruiser-weight title failed here last night, when he lost narrowly on points to the champion, John Henry Lewis, in a 15-round contest.
McAvoy put up a splendid fight against a very clever cham- pion, and his game display greatly pleased the 12,000 spectators. There were boos for the winner and cheers for the loser when the decision was announced, but. Lewis won on his merits. The decision of the judges and referee was unanimous.
McAvoy more than held his own for the first half of the fight, winning the first, fourth, sixth and seventh rounds; but after the the hand he injured seventh he seemed unable to use his right. in a recent fight though the negro was often a good target for it.
