Heavy Slogging Feature Of Preliminary Rounds
The preliminary rounds of the first post-war Services Boxing Championships were fought off at the China Fleet Club yesterday afternoon where the finals also are to be held tonight, com- mencing at 8 p.m. Individual titles only are being contested.
The preliminaries showed up some all-out fighting as well as occasional good boxing and saw Trishmen, Aus- tralians and Danes in the ring as well as Englishmen.
The fights held a good deal of gallery appeal, there. being a minimum of dawdling, and fight fans would 'be doing themselves a disservice in missing the finals tonight.

Prize Money Will Be £30,000 This Season
Thirty-thousand pounds are being put up for competi. tion this coming professional golf season and it is attract- ing stars as though they were' wasps round a honey pot. It is an awful lot of money in anyone's language and the biggest ever offered in Great Britain but it is a mere fleabite compared with the all-year-round United States circuit that is open to Yankee pros to win.
Not surprising, therefore, that Henry Colton is. going over to America although it is not yet clear whether he is going to desert Monte Carlo and Great Britain fer a prolonged stay.

A meeting of the Colony Open Chess Championship Committee held yesterday evening passed a motion recommending to next year's committee that the Colony Reserve Tournament, to he started early next month, serve as a qualifyingTM tourna ment for next year's Open Championship final.
The meeting decided that it would make no specific recom- mendation regarding the num- ber of players to qualify from the tourney for next year's Open final." It was also decided, after lengthy deliberation, that the Reserve Tournament be single-round affair.

A surprise last-minute entry, was the Colony's Grand Old Man of Chess, D. E. de Carvalho, a leading player locally and in Manila since the turn of the century and on many occasions, Colony Champion, the last time he won the title being on 1939.
His entry is the fifth senior one in the Reserve Tournament, which now includes three of the ax players who contested the Colony Champion- ship the last time it was played in 1041. It will be his first post-war tournament appearance and he will start equal favourite with Kar povich, Welss and Dounneff.
ALL IN FUN
Though for off his best days, he can yel give anyone a strong game but his preference for the Reserve Tourney comes of the fact that he is in more for the fun of the Tourna- ment than for a desire to win.
