With the early start of the Tournament this year there should be no need for last year's fiasco to occur again, and it is hoped that where for any reason a game has to be postponed, the organisers will attempt to fix the replay in the same week, und not leave things in the air.
There are three major games scheduled for this afternoon and une minor one. All the games, with the exemption of the minor

To
Fight Pierre
Marconi
By European Boxing Union
QUICK By ARCHIE
Great Britain's 21-year-old Welterweight Champion Peter Waterman won the fight he just had to win. It was against Idrissa Dione from the French Congo, who was European champion not so long ago. Waterman, as handsome facially as he is in his boxing, hails from Clapham Common and this contest was on his doorstep in the neighbouring South London borough of Streatham,

The necessity for victory was that Peter has been nominated by the European Boxing Union to fight Dione's successor, Pierre Marconi, for the title. The busy Waterman also has on his hands the defence of his British and Empire crown against Frank Johnson, of Manchester, the man from whom he snatched the title.
