PLAYBOY BOXER
CRITICISED
(By G. W, R. Smith)
With my hand on my heart I vow never to be tempted again to publish stories of Jack Doyle, boxing boy from Cork, and his film star wife, Judith Allen.
In common with most sporting writers, I was prepared to give Doyle a break when he returned to this country from America to make a fresh start on his awitchback boxing
career.
of Doyle as a
The news value boxer promised to be good. He had his chance to earn, on his merits, a high place in the sporting headlines. But it would seem that Doyle cheds his good resolutions os casily as you or I take off our coats.
HIS PROMISE
He declared he was going to cut out the ballyhoo and devote all his energies to boxing, and a ring career. But the old Doyle won't stay down.
not
This talk of Transatlantic flights with Mrs. Markham, last week's spectacular dneli to America, the tak ing of a flat in Mayfair, are not the road for a boxer seeking a comeback in
or in achievement In popular favour, The public are fed up with it all. A boxer's business is boxing, stunt publicity. If only some these pugilistic playboys would study the career of Gene Tunney, who won his way to the world title by hard, work and unremitting application to his job, they would do something for British boxing.
EXAMPLE OF HARVEY
To bring the parallel nearer home, did Len Harvey ever need stunts to make him a champlon? He did not, and Harvey's record is something real to boast about.
In my view the best thing that can happen to Doyle is that some one persuades him to go back to flims and cabaret.

A "scene" unparalleled in first- class snooker took place at Thurs- ton's Hall, London, during the semi-final of the World Profession- Willio al Championship between Bmith, of Darlington, and Horace Lindrum, of Australla.
Lindrum had won the first frame of the session at 103-18 to hold a lead of 11 frames to five.. Smith, in the next frame, having taken all the colours except the yellow, seemed to have won by 6052 on tre black
