There were signs in the last few *inentas of h developing a more sober and more polished style, but when he met Harry Mizler, an- other former British champion, in the main en round hout of an afternoon tournament, he pulled out all his old "fire" to gain a points victory that confounded the critics.

Despite his long innings Zwick has few scars to show and he has lost little of his boxing craft and skill. His nose is somewhat flatten- | ed but his ears are not marred and he is still lithe and keen of eye.

When Tarleton next steps into the ring in defence of his title he will be creating a British record.
SANDY HERD GOES ROUND COURSE IN 72
Sandy Herd, grand old man of golf, recently went round High Course, Moor Purk Golf Club, in 72-a stroke for each year of his age.
This score, which many younger players would find difficult to beat, will be his last for some time, for Sandy was taken ill next day. He is in hospital and may have to undergo an opera- tion.
"My father was pleased with „- his score,” said Miss Alexandra Herd "but he has not been well lately, and the strain was.. too “much for him. He will be seventy-
three next month."!
