GREAT DISPLAY BY HARRY MIZLER
GIVES BOXING LESSON
TO AL ROTH
By Fred Dartnell
London, Nov. 16. Fog was rather insistent round about Earl's Court last night, but the international flavour of the National Sporting Club's boxing programme drow a good attendance.
Harry Mizler, ex-British champion, gained a grand victory over Al Roth, the midget Max Baer from the United States of America.
Roth, with his week's growth of beard, looked formidably rough, but
in the first round Mizler hit him three BRITAIN
glorious rights to the face and then proceeded to give him one of the best boxing lessons that has been seen in the ring for a long time.
It was the straight left that really did the business. Roth was flat- fooled and slow, and he appeared to have little defence.
ANNOUNCES
CHALLENGE
Mizter was so much the master Westchester Cup
boxer that he won the first Ave rounds of the reel.
He boxed coolly and with delight- ful ski and Roth took a long time to get into anything ke fighting shape. I think the American won the sixth and eighth rounds. Left hooks to the belly gave Mizler some trouble then and later on the Londoner's nose began to bleed.

A man really should have a pair of braces for every
pair of trousers in his wardrobe. They save time and
ensure immediate and correct adjustment. Certainly he ought to have special braces for evening trousers because
they are cut rather higher than ordinary trousers.
Our evening braces can be both decorative and
dignified. You may prefer the quiet simplicity of entirely
black or entirely white silk braces costing $5.00, or you may prefer them made of elegant black webbing with a narrow white edging for $9.50.
