New York, June 10.
THE CHINA MAIL, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1954.
When Tommy Jackson became an overnight national boxing sensa- tion by beating Dan Bueceroni, most of the nation's big newspapers and magazines did stories on him, but the publicity and the clippings will not affect him. He cannot read.
The experts are not even agreed that he can fight. He does not punch hard, his defence is rudimentary and he gets hit often. How does he win? He simply punches furiously every minute of every round; he docs not tire and he does not mind being hit himself.

England's cricket legislators have recently made some important changes. They have put the brake on "imports" to county cricket by increasing the period of qualification from two to three years; reverted for at least two seasons to the old law under which the new hall may be taken after 200 runs instead of 65 overs; and put up umpires pay by £150 a year. This overdue pay reform now means they get
