Mizler Too Good For Daly
By Fred Darinell
London, May 31. There was a cold snap in the air last night when South London box- ing partisans gathered 5,000 strong at the New Cross Stadium to see Harry Mizier, ex-light-weight chum- pion of Great Britain, outpoint George Daly, of Binckfriars, over 10 rounds.

Mizler boxed stylishly, but he was rather averse to leading, although he was always a menace with his swift He shook right-cross countering. Daly up in the fifth round in this way, and the Blackfriars man kept dancing in spiritedly to the fray.
Mizler's left hand, developed in his amateur days when he won the Bri- Ush Amateur Championship, proved very embarrassing to his rival in the sixth round, but Daly rallied won derfully and took the honours with three smashing rights to Lie Jaw.
Daly's blows, however, did not carry as much power as those of his opponent's.

Daly fought well in the last round, but Mizler maintained his supremacy to the end and was a good winner of a good fight,
