The only bright spot in a dreary. evening was the clever display of Leading Seaman Hall of HMS. Fitunia, during the three rounds he boxed with Stoker Reynolds of 11.M. Submarines.
Hall will make ring history in Hong Kong. He won two of the three rounds against Reynolds al though giving away 10 lbs. in weight, when he had to retire with a badly cut lip.
