This time Mills proposes to take a party with him comprising Randolph Tur- pin and two other reigning British Champions. Ronnie Clayton, I know, would Uke to be one of them. Mills says: "I am fit and would box. I am contemplating a come.. back_anyhow." Turpin, too, is enthusiastic over the idea. He and his brothera Dick and Jackle recently toured BAOR.
