A.B. EWIN RETAINS TITLE AS WELTER WEIGHT CHAMPION.
{BY, CADOPTED.]
The Hongkong Boxing Association are to be congratulated on the "very fine boxing 'programme which was presented at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night. The theatre was packed, amongst those present, at the ringside being Admiral Sir Edwyn Alexander-Sinclair, K.C.B.. M.V.O. (Commander-in-Chief, China Sta. tien), Sir Shon Son Chow and Commo dore A. J. B. Stirling, C.B
The fights were clean and vigorous, and some exceptionally clever boxing and ringeraft were seen.
Bound 12-Cartlidge opened and caus- ed Ewin to miss, but Cartlidge was later shaken with a nasty right on the jaw. He replied with a right to the body, and loft to the face, but his 'blows were weak.
Round 13-Ewin succeeded as he did in the eleventh round with lefts and. rights, but Cartlidge sent across a power. ful left to the jaw, and Ewin missed badly. He, however, got is with both hands later and Cartlidge, following a good right to the body, missed. He did likewise before the gong went, when Ewin sent a hard right to the body.
Bound 14-Cartlidgo again missed and Ewin got in with a right, and followed up with straight lefts. Cartlidge was on the defensive, and did, not attack. Ha was shaken with a right to the face.
Round 15.-Ewin led, then Cartlidye got home twice, only to miss a few seconds later. Cartlidge seemed to be affected by cramp in the right calf, but fought pluckily to the end, though Ewin scored frequently in this round.

He often led advantageously with his left and was generally sure with his right, but his punches seemed to lack The least that can be said, is that Jim Cartlidge gave a wonderful exhibi. tion of scientific boxing; his ringeraft was seldom at fault, his subterfuges were elever. Ewin, however, with all his ad, vantages was not as clever; but he did monopolize the fighting in the last five rounds, and his punches were harder.It appeared to me that several of his blows which were intended for Cartlidge's face or body, struck his gloves or arms. He was hardly marked, and was fresher than Cartlidge as the fight ended. Ewin gained the decision, but I venture to state that even the judges would agree that the difference was small. I have no desire to minimise Ewin's victory; but none can justly disagree with me when I say that Cartlidge put up a clever fight. It was a nice, clean coutest.

At its conclusion, Mr. R. M. Dyer, Chairman of, the H.K.B.A., fastened the belt round the winner's waist and con- gratulated toth men on their gallant dis play.
Harry Major was no match for Kid Alfred, the hard hitting Filipino, and was so badly punished that he gave up in the middle of the third round. Dr. Bowlea was again too elever for Signalman Rogers, who retired in the fourth round Once again LS. Baker, of the Hermes and L.T. Emmerson, of the Jarazion fought a draw. It was, from beginning to end, a thrilling fight. P.0. Mitchell, of H.M.S. Concord, knocked out AB Jackson, H.M.S. Harkin, in the sixth round. Mitchell showed himself to be u clever, and hard-punching fighter. Warder Grant, Victoria Gaol, drew with L.S. A Rowe, of H.M.S. Ambroxe. This was comical bout, ...

Bowles led with the left as the fight opened, and Rogers got a right to the body. Both men appeared to be enu- tious. Rogers began well in the second round and scored with rights while Bowles used his left neatly. In the it fighting the honours were even. In the third round Bowles attacked vigorously, but missed with an uppercut He was, however, beating his man both at boxing and fighting. At the end of the fourth round Rogers gave in.
