(By "Resin")
A. B. Prandy, the H.M.S. Kent featherweight who made his professional boxing debut at the pre- vious tournament, won the Colony Championship at his weight before a large house at the Lee Theatre
on Saturday and impressed critics by his speed and determination, as one of the most promising young- sters seen here for a long time.

ST JOSEPH'S SENIOR SHIELD HOPES
RAGGED DISPLAY AGAINST SOUTH CHINA “B”
YOUNG CAROLINE HILL TEAM SHOWS HOW IT IS DONE
(By "Veritas)
St. Joseph's cherished Shield hopes died with unexpected suddeness at Caroline Hill: on Saturday: but the real tragedy was that it was not given to the Saints to die, like soldiers, gloriously; it was as the death of a mouse in the hands of a cat,—lingering, pain- ful and undignified. South China "B" tayed with them, getting them in their clutches with a three goal lead, teasing them with a bare chance of escape when this lead was reduced half way through the second half, and finally carrying out the "kill," with a couple of quick goals only a few minutes from the end of the game,
