Shock Defeat Of George
Marks Opening Day Of Henley Regatta
Henley-On-Thames, Oxfordshire, June 29...
Apart from the uncertainty of Russian participation the shock, de- feat of Bobby George, Belgian course record-holder in the first round of the Diamond Sculls, marked the opening day of Royal Henley Regatta
here.
The Russians, whose boats are strike-bound in the London docks, refused to compete in borrowed boats and withdrew just after racing started.

There Will Still Be A Problem
Monopoly Charges The IBC Against
New York, June 29.
Some time, this autumn the US. Government will take its monopoly charges against the International Box- ing Club (IBC) to court. If it wins, there will be more small club boxing in America; if it loses, present policies
will continue,
The Government charges that the IBC, owned by millionaire Jim Norris as one of his many big business operations; has a monopoly of boxing because it controls the major indoor stadiums in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Washington and St Louis, and because it holds the tele. vision contracts for 104 fights per year.,
The IBC also has exclusive Johnston and his IBG were Ulle-defence contracts with all formally necused before the New Champions from Featherweight York State Athletic Commission
