OBITUARY
"TWO FAMOUS SPORTSMEN
PASS AWAY
· London, Dec. 29.
The world-renowned boxing `re. feree, Mr. Eugene Corri, is dood. -Our Own Correspondent.
Sportsmen all over the world will regret to hear of the death of one of the most famous men of the boxing arona. For many yours his unequalled knowledge of the noble art of defence and attack dominated the sport, and for longer still he had been the friend and adviser of all who took part in it.
For many years, local boxing enthusiasts have rend Eugene Corri'a special weekly articles to the South China Morning Post, for which newapajler he was London Correspondent on matters apper- taining to pugilism.
Until, 1931 Corri was still in service for any important bout, and in that year he visited Australia at the invitation of the. Sydney N.S.C.A. to act as special referee at the Sydney stadium at Rushcutter's' Bay.
It was then that he regretfully terminated activé association with boxing, for, acting on medical ad- vise. Corri retired.
At one time Corri was a rich man among men who had always known money. He had a sent on the London Stock Exchange, but he was more successful at boxing than at business,

The fact that he was the feree Invariably put the hall mark on a boxing match. He was the Beau Ideal of all "third
men" and, above suspicion, ho called the points as he saw them. His. decisions were not always popu lar.
His verdiet that gave Freddy Welsh the world's lightweight championship against the Ameri- can, Willie Richie, stood unasham- ed when the hent of the battle had died away, and the uproar that moved the whole pugilistic world when Corrie disqualified "Gunbont" Smith in the sixth round of his contest with Georges Carpentier at the London Olymple in 1914 left his reputation without a blemish.
