Strong criticism of the scenes at the ice hockey finals between Canada and Great Britain at Harringay is made in Paris newspapers.

With my hand on my heart I vow never to be tempted again to publish storics of Jack Doyle, boxing boy from Cork, and his fim star wife, Judith Allen.

between Perry and Vines have exceeded all expecta tions. So far 23 matches have been played, and from these more than £35,000 has been taken.
The percentage which Perry was to receive when he forsook his amateur status was not disclosed, but he has certainly earned considerably more than the minimum sum of £5,000 guaranteed him. Perry only started his professional career on January 6. He has still ten more matches to play with Vines before their tour finishes, and he then starts on a series of matches with W. T. Tilden. These also should draw large crowds.
So that the figure of £20,000 which he anticipated earning in his first year should be passed within the first three months.
