PREPARATIONS for the boxing season in Hong- kong are now taking definite form and it is al- most certain that for the opening meeting to be held early in November, that A. B. Ewin and Signalman Morris, two old and popular antagonists, will fight for the Middleweight Championship of the Colony. The Hongkong Boxing As- ociation is still confronted with the vexed question of linding a

THE MAMAK SHIELD tournament, now the most important local hockey competition opened last Saturday, two of the clubs who met being the German and Police clubs. The players are here depleted prior to the match which the Police won. Those figuring in the teams are.

The possibility and practicabil- ity of using the Victoria Recreat- ion Club has been explored but it is felt that tournaments staged there would be too depen- dent on weather conditions and offering too big a risk to the promoters.
I understand that neither the King's Contral, Garden or Orien- tal Theatres offer themselves as sultable places and it is therefore fairly safe to assume that the Lee Theatre will be used for the monthly tournaments this winter, Although the Loe Theatre is some what of the beaten track it is easily accessible and is, in every other respect, an ideal place for the boxing.

CLUB'S FIRST MATCH.
The Hongkong Club make their first appearance to-morrow, and should collect an easy two points from the Recreio.
If all I hear is true the Club are going to provide n few surprise packets this winter. I have not yet re- ceived any idea of their team, but I understand that Howe is it again to lead the van and that weaknesses which last season retarded the na- tural progress of the team, have been removed. It is pretty certain there will be a big crowd to welcome them to-morrow and to closely fol fow their form.
