Chance Against Petersen
When Jock McAvoy comes down to fight Jack Petersen ht Earl's Court in April he will bave the comforting moral sup- port that no one in the north believes he can be beaten.
What is more, tim hackers of Peter, son are just as hard to find in the south-apart from Wales, where, naturally, he is regarded in the same urbontable light as McAvoy,
Petersen han disappointed us often, but his form in his last fight with Harvey was doftaltely good. McAvoy has captured the limelight with his amnabing wins in America. liis ad-
mirers think there is nothing in box- ing to-day to equal the power of his punching.
Maybe they are right. But Peter- son's punch was just na famous not

VICTORY WAS MERITED
(By "Veritas"}
Two brothers, playing in- spired tennis, were yesterday responsible for the dethrone- ment of Hongkong's doubles champions, S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn when they met on the stand court of the Cricket Club in the third round of the current championship. For eleven years the Rumjahn cousins have reigned supreme and fate, indulging in a fanci- ful twist of irony decreed that they should yield their crown at the very time when, to all intents and purposca, oppoai- tion was at its weakest.
Everybody who has had the op portunity of studying the progres of the Taui brothers appreciated that they were capable of giving th champions a hot game, but I think very low indeed would have been bolu enough to envisago, their beating the Rumjahns. It wis,

MACKAY'S BATTING WAS AMONG HIGHSPOTS OF MATCH
GOSANO BOWLED WELL BUT WITHOUT LUCK
(By R. Abbit)
Playing the right type of cricket, Kowloon Cricket Club swept on to a decisive and well merited victory against University on Saturday and thus won the Senior League shield. R. Abbit, the Colony's leading cricket commentator, who watched the match, gives the following special description.
