Demands for new legislation and stricter medical supervision "in" boxing may be the sequel to the two recent deaths of bazers following fights in the United States.
The death roll in boxing, as far as can be ascer- tained, totals 50 in four years, and the noble ort is in danger of becoming known as a brutal sport.

Over Wales Pleases English FA Treasurer
London, October "23.
The win by England over Wales last week pleased none more than the treasurer of the English Football Association. For not only did this" success put England one step nearer to Rio de Janeiro, where the World Cup finals are taking place next July, but also one step nearer to getting a free trip to South America. The sum of £5,000 is at stake. This is approximate- ly what it will cost to send the English team to the finals.
