Jack (Kid) Berg, English young- ster with frenzied. fists, repented his recent victory over Flowers in a ten-round battle that! was a good carbon copy of their spectacular and thrilling duel in the same ring last month. They fought again last night like two angry wildcats in a telephone booth, while 12,000 spectators rear- ed and bowled their approval. Berg won decisively by his whirl-, ing pinwheel punching, at close quarters against a willing foeman who could not match the pale English lad's machine-gun fire of gloves.

Mr. Justice Swift made this com 'ment at the Old Bailey at the con- clusion of the evidence of a case in which a youth was alleged to have stated that he stabbed a man to death because he was knock ing his mother and sister about," and that he was glad he did it." He pleaded not guilty to charge of manslaughter.
" He said later: "When I saw he was knocking my mother and sister about, naturally I could not stand that, could I?".
Carter stated in his evidence that when he said that he was glad he did it, he mean that he was glad he stopped Sanderson from hitting- his mother again.
