His next contest will be in the open air at Wembley under} the direction of Mr. Arthur Elvin, who secured an option on the Empire and British heavy-weight champion some time ago.
The Wembley authorities are, naturally, as yet undecided who Petersen's opponent shall be on the Cup Final ground in
June. but I was told at the Wembley Stadium yesterday that among those under consideration are Walter Neusel and John Henry Lewis, the coloured holder of the world's light-heavy- weight title.
It is certain that Petersen will fight at Wembley, in my opinion, although, with the customary caution of match- makers these days, Mr. Syd Hulls says that their option will be taken up, "providing we

SPECTACULAR CLASH BETWEEN OFFICERS OCEANS OF PLUCK DISPLAYED
London, April 23. HE Army retained the Imperial Services box- ing championship and the challenge cup at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth, last night, the Army securing 44 points against 82 by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, 21 by the RAF, and 20 by the Territorial Army.
Even the most inexperienced of the men, from a boxing point of view, displayed oceans of pluck, and their bouts were often much more exciting than those in which experts were engaged. The most spectacular fight was that in which Paymaster Sub-
Lieut. Whitburn, of the RN.VR., successfully defended his middle-weight title in the officers division against Lieut. player Dalrymple, the Army champion, who is also a well-known Rugby.
Whitburn was the younger man and better boxer, but Dalrymple carried a heavy punch, and when he occasionally landed with his right the effect on Whitburn was at once appar- ent, Dalrymple, however, had to take heavy punishment and was handicapped soon after the start by a cut eye.
The fight was stopped near the end of the last round with!
