A crowd of 40,000 spectators: packed the Shawfield Park Stadium here last night and saw Benny Lynch, the holder, successfully de- fend his World's European and British flyweight titles against the challenge of Peter Kane, of Gol- borne, who was knocked out in the 13th of a 15 round bout.
Before the commencement of the bout, heavy rain fell and, as a re- sult, the ring had to be sprinkled with sawdust, the boxers slipping on several occasions throughout the duration of the fight
Both gave magnificent perform- ances, but towards the end Peter Kane visibly tired, and the fight came to an end when Lynch rain- ed a terrific barrage of blows on Kane's unprotected head, sending the Golborne lad down for a count. of seven in the 13th round.

HER TITLE
(By "CRAWL")
TAKING as his mark the Naval Buoy in front of the Cruiser Cumberland, and keeping to about 100 yards to the West of it, Lionel Roza-Pereira, of the Victoria Recreation Club, recorded his fifth victory in the annual Cross-Harbour swim yester- day, held under the auspices of the Victoria Recrea- tion Club, from the Railway Pier, Kowloon, to the sea-wall just outside Butterfield and Swire's offices.
CONDITIONS WERE BY NO MEANS PERFECT AND-ROZA- PEREIRA'S TIME OF 26 MINS. 12 4-5 SECS. WAS THE BEST RECORDED FOR THE EVENT SINCE HE LAST WON THE HE CLOCKED 24 MINS. 131⁄2 SECS. TITLE IN 1933, WHEN PASSING FERRIES, JUNKS AND LAUNCHES INTERFERED WITH THE SWIMMERS, OTHERWISE A DIFFERENT FINISH MIGHT HAVE RESULTED.
Mak Wai-ming, the former holder of the title, was second, but made a poor start by streaking away for Green Island, or so we were led to believe! The result was that he had to fight his way back into a changing current and this made all the difference between winning and losing.
Probably the two outstanding at features of the race (Men's Sec-
tion) were the performances of Ho Pun (who came second in the 100 Yards breast-stroke championship of the Colony) who was third to Mak Wai-ming, breast- employing a beautiful stroke throughout the race, and Geoffrey Arnold, a 19 year old swimmer from the European YMCA, who made his first attempt yesterday and came in fourth, four minutes and 9 secs. behind Roza-Pereira.
