(By Harold Lewis)
London, October 20. MAGNIFICENT welcome to the re-establish-. ed National Sporting Club was given last night by an attendance of 10,000 people at the Empress Stadium, Earl's Court, for the first box- ing tournament of the new club."
Hundreds who had planned to buy their seats at the turns- tiles were disappointed, for the great hal was fall. It was a most remarkable tribute to the traditions of the old Club for good boxing, for there was only one heavy-weight fight on the pro- gramme, and that of comparative unimportance, while some of the boxers had never been seen before by this London crowd.
In the chief fight, Jimmy Walsh, of Chester, the British light- weight champion, successfully defended his title against a former champion, Harry Mizler, of St. George's, and although Walsh won only on points, the referee, Mr. C. EL Douglas, must have made up his mind long before the end that, short of a knock-out, Walsh could hardly lose.
