I HAVE MY SAY
We Don't Want Any Legalised Brawling
By HARRY CARPENTER
London.
Should Britain sweep the Queensberry rulos
out of the
ring? Should our professional boxers fight to the nothing-barred, no-foul principle adhered to in the United States?

FATAL TWELFTH
On his stroke until he reached the tee of the twelfth, a hole that stretches along the seashore to the Prince's Club, the Iris man's drive was sweet and crisp, long and straight down to the edge of the fairway, pushed out attle to the right perhaps, but quite safe.
