Singapore, September 21, Contrary to expectations, Saturday night's programme of boxing at the New World Stadium proved of absorbing' interest.
Mr. Bertie Bell, the promoter, has certainly picked a winner " In Ventura Marquez, a Mexican boxer with "a pleasing style.. stinging punches packed in both hands, and an ability of flash- ing out of a tight corner to turn the tables on an opponent,

To say the least, Weber was outclassed and he probably knew it after the first few rounds but he still continued with his par- ticular style which was met by heavy swing and straight punches many of which found their mark.
Weber was rocked from side to considerably, and has learned to side but he weathered the storms, take punishment without giving absorbing heavy punishment [ in. He had practicaly his own j which might have meant finish to many a yung boxer."

For many years we have listened to discussions at league meetings on the rela- Live advantages of having more or fewer matches in the league and when one stops to consider the very slap-dash manner in which friendles are very often conducted, one is forced to the conclusion that matches bound down by hard and fast rules about starting punctually, having full sides, decent umpires and set times. have much to recommend them. On the other hand Clubs like the H.K.C.C., with a large set programme of friend- fles, would have considerable difficulty in completing their fix- tures and so I trust the Authorities will weigh the matter very carefully before definitely deciding one way or the other...
