BOXING AT THE PO
HING THEATRE
Fine Programme Arranged For Friday
(By Roy Murray).
Briday's boxing programme which commences at 9 p.m. sharp at the Po Hur Theatre should attract a large crowd of fight fans. The programme has been elaborately arranged and a spice of variety has been included in the nature of a weight Hrunr exhibition, by Mr. Clement Affoyne, who is a member of the Sunshine Gymnasium. Mr.Affoyne has a wide experience of the weight lifting game and his own show at the interlude should provs quite an interesting novelty.
The Ringside omcials engaged for the night are:-Time-keeper and Announcer-Mr. H. Marriot, Judges, Mr. R. Quinlan (ex-Army Middleweight Champion of Egypt and Hong Kong) and Mr. W. Mackey. The choice of Referee has fallen on Mr. B. Fields, who has had a wide experience of the nght game.
Two interesting "curtain raisers" will take place when Reggie Ewart will face A. Garcia in a tour round flyweight contest. The former lad I fancied to outpoint his Portu- guese rival although the latter is a strong little battler. In the other Junior our round event Dennis Manders meets 8 A. Lazer; the Mexican youngster and the former gets the vote of a points verdict.
The opening night between the big men will be the thriller be- tween "Iron Buz" Junior, who is recognised as Hong Kong's leading flyweight and Little Bertie 3. young aspirant from Manila. The local lad will and the Filipino a hard
nut to crack but should emerge victorious on a points basis. This contest has been scheduled to go six rounds
A Bantamweight contest timed for four rounds, will be fought out between Wild Denny, a clever little Filipino battler, and Bud Goldin of Russin. This pair are very eventy matched with Benny capable of unloading the deadlier punch, which may prove the
deciding factor in a bout that promises to supply thrills galore. The former lad won a host of friends during his last appearance here, through his non-stop fighting attitude and should enchance his popularity an Friday night.

CHAMPIONSHIP BOUTS.
Following the intermission we come to the spice of the programme when the local Bantamweight and Featherweight titles are at stake. The Bantamweight title bout is down to go twelve rounds when Young Aromin (present title hold- cr) ducks under the ropes to clash with Fusilier Fisher (Army Cham- plon: This is another pout which presents a puzzling aspect. Both men are evenly matched and the fact that Fisher has been seen more

Lecture
Plan To Aid Third

The second lecture for the train- Ing of more efficient umpires for hockey WAS delivered by Sub- Inspector Tyler at the Kowloon

League on June 7, Derby County Prior to the talk a hockey match will again propose that the num- was played between the Royal ber of promoted and relegated Welch Fusiliers and a team from clubs be altered from two to four. the H.MS. Osiris, the purpose of which was to give an opportunity to the candidates to detect faulty decisions and to take note of any unintentional foul play that might exist during the game.
The lecture dwelt chiefly on the umpire's ability to interpret the rules in the best interests of the game.
There has been constant blowing of whistles during the course of a game; the speaker said. Whether un umpire should overlook minor faults, only experience could make him a better judge. But three im- portant points, the safety of the players, the danger to the defend- ing team and the drawback to the advantage of the attacking side should be quickly and carefully considered before he resorted to blowing his whistle.
A good and efficient umpire must not be vindictive. He must not abuse any player, and above all must not criticise as an official with an air of "what I say goes never mind about you." He has to bear in mind that he is there to interpret the rules for the game's sake, and to have courage to be ready to admit, and apologise for any faulty decision he has made.
