AN AMAZING
VICTORY i
Down Five Times
And Wins
(Special Air Mail Service)
London Oct. 10,"
An astonishing Oght, with all the drama of the most incredible film, ended amid wild excitement at the' Albert Hall, when Harry Mizler, of
St Georges. London, the former British light-weight champion. knocked out Gustav Humery, light- weight champion of France, in the eighth round.
For seven rounds Mizler' had been battered from corner to corner by the fierce and powerful Frenchman. Five times he had been knocked down for Tang counts, each time struggling pain- i fully to his feet to avoid being | counted out by a second or so. { And towards the end of the third i round only the fact that the re feree cautioned Humery about a low blow saved Mizier from being finished there and then.
Mizler sat on the lower rope buddled-up and helpless. Humery stood off, not knowing whether to hit him or not. The bell went, and the referee himself did not! know until he had consulted the timekeeper whether Mizler had been counted.
DZLER DOWN THREE TIMES
Three times in that third round had Mizler been put down. Пе seemed to have reached the point of utter exhaustion.

THEATRE
NEW ALL-COLOUR
DRAMA
Miriam Hopking, Star In
"Becky Sharp"
A PERFECT CHOICE
All Hollywood agrees, for pro- bably the Brst time in history. that Miriam Hopkins was the perfect choice for the role of Becky Technicolour film drama of that Sharp in the new all-
name,
and one of the. most eagerly-awaited pictures in years. Miriam, say those who know. is magnificently atted to play the mad, bad. glad heroine whom William Makepeace Thac- keray thought up for the centra! character of "Vanity Fair." his stirring satiric blast at English society of a hundred years ago. Miss Hopkins' sparkle, charm and dramatic power give life to this great character of a 19th cen- tury gold-digger, who that
In the fifth round another mighty punch to the body sent Mizier down again. He pulled himself upright by the use of the ropes, staggered through round, and' was all but knocked out again in the sixth, when he took another count of nine seconds.
The transformation in the eighth round was one of those miracles of the ring that one sees perhaps once in twenty years. A very one right-hand punch to the faw, a
low precisely the same as one he had landed in the first round, shook the tough Frenchman. For the first time in the fight he paused and waited...
FRENCHMAN DAZED Mizler's' coolness in this critical moment was that of the truly great fighter. He uppercut Humery twice, dazed him, and then crash- ed home two, more punches to the jaw. One of the uppercuts had split Humery's upper up. The Frenchman's arms dropped to his side. He turned round, with his
back to Mizlet.
The Englishman looked at the referce, who signalled him to con- tinue. One more punch, however, and the towel was thrown in. Humery, his eyes glazed and blood streaming down his chest, was led to his corner. The fight was over.
I a 12-round lightweight night George Daly of Blackfriars beat Seaman Watson of Newcastle, the former featherweight champion, Watson retiring in the eighth round using to cut beside, the left eye.
Results of six-rounds contests were:-
Reg Milligan (Watford) out- pointed Jock Keenan (Scotland), Bly Charlton (Newcastle) knock- ed out Peter Clayton (Southall) in. the Arst round; Bert Ison (Lelces- ter) beat Tommy Laye (Hoxton) on points: Jack Watkins (Muswell Hi gained a points win over George Revel (Dagenham),
In a four-rounds bout Pat Daly (Scotland) beat Ronnie Davis (Notting Hill) on points.

London, Oct. 10. The sudden disaster to a con- tingent of the Guides Corps near the Nahakki Pass; on the North- West Frontier, when everything suggested that the Mohmands had been awed into submission, is an example of how precarious mati- tary operations are in that re-

upon wealth and power for the sake of man she really loved:
Then, too, her exquisite blonde beauty proved. after a series of exacting colour tests, to be per- feet for the newy perfected Technicolour
process in which "Becky Sharp" is made, bring- ing its beauty to the screen for the first time, and marking the Mms first historic advance since the, coming of sound.
