Gustave Humery Knocked Out In: Third Round
With a whirlwind double-handed at- tack to face and body, Ernie Roderick (Liverpool), official challenger for the British welter-weight championship, knocked out Gustave Humery, of Paris, in the third round at Earl's Court, London, during the National' Sporting Club boxing tournament; Roderick proved himself to be a brilliant tacti- cian against a fighter who for the past three years had been invincible in English rings.
Humery began in his usual forceful style, and seemed confident of landing with his two-fisted onslaught until he took a stiff left to the face. Roderick.
with beautiful footwork, drove in left to the head, and the speed of Humery's rush was of no avail.
吃
Roderick-swung a right to the jaw to send Humery back on his heels, and the Frenchman, although full of light, could make little impression against the Liverpool man. Roderick's straight left was magnificent, and with this hand Humery was frequently driven against the ropes.
Humery had a cut above his left eye in the second round, and he was well outpointed in long-range boxing. After some light sparring in the third round, Roderick launched successive blows,
all of which landed, and when the Liverpool boxer went in with a right to the body and a left to the chin. Humery fell to the boards, to be count-
ed out.

Fast Race By Oxford Crews
The Oxford University Trial. Eights held their annual race over the three- mile course from Marsh Lock to Ham- bleden Loik at Heney. The weather was ideal, and a following wind helped the crews.
Old None of the four Blues in residence at the University took part in the race.
To neutralise the advantage of the bends in the course the start at Marsh Lock was staggered, “A”: crew being one and a half lengths ahead. Their start was not a very good, one, but. they quickly settled down, and rowed 352 strokes in the first minute to 36 by "B" crew.
"B" crew continued to row the fas- ter stroke down the Regatta course in an effort to get on terms, but Bourne was easily able to counter all their spurts. At Fawley, reached-in 8 min. 4 sec., "A" crew were still 1/2 lengths ahead, but below Temple Island Esplin. spurted up to 33, and with Bourne rowing four strokes fewer per minute "B" crew were only just over a length down at Greenlands. They were, however, never allowed to overlap, and "A" crew went away again near Ham- bleden Lock to win by 11⁄2 lengths in 15 min. 48 sec.
Bourne stroked his crew with judgment throughout, and they were much steadier than their rivals, who attempted too high a rate of striking.
