Lynch Puts Up Great Fight Against Pardoe
CONTEST ENDS IN FOURTEENTH
AT BIRMINGHAM
(By Fred Darinell)
ROUND
Benny Lynch, of Glasgow, the Scottish flyweight champion, defeated Tommy Pardoe, of Birmingham, the Southom Area champion, in the fourteenth round of their 15-rounds final eliminating contest at Birmingham.
London, April 17.
It was with the greatest surprise that followers of lawn bowls learned of the defeat, on Saturday, of the Kowloon Bowling Green Club at the hands of the newly promoted Indian R.C. side. The unexpected has often happed in the games of bowls but it sometime since there has been such a big upset as that which occurred at A NEW CRICKET STORY to witness the fight. I saw Elky Sookunpoo.

It is too early to record the result of the questionnaire which the League management com mittee have addressed to the clubs in regard to the proposal to put the control of matches in the hands of two referees, but I do nat anticipate serious opposition
to it.

It has been put forward unanimous. ly by those in the best position to judge the needs of the game, and their views are bound weight.
In considering it I would urge the clubs players who took part in the trial give weight to the views of at West Bromwich. "It is going to cut out a lot of the rough stuif.'"' they told me. "With the referees no close up there are bound to be fewer

This, in my opinion, is the most important point of all. A voto for two referees is a vote for clean play.
GREAT CHANGES COMING
Football, I believe, is on the eve of great changes. They are inevitable. In the case of the Football Associa- tion I think they have already begun. They are going to play a bigger part than ever in the national life.
