CHAMPIONS
BUT NO NEW
PERSONALITY
When Freddie Mills vacated the British Lightheavyweight titla and up his gloves for the last time, he climinated himself from the list of British boxers who possess that strange quality known as "drawing power."
Only one name remains on the "list"that of our much. maligned Heavyweight Champion, Bruce Woodcock.
Il proof were needed that British boxing is in the doldrums it was surely provided when promoter Jack Solomons, who does not lack a sense of duty towards the public, had to bill two championship fights to ensure that the 10,000 seats at Harringay Arena were filled..
True, we saw two knockouts. True, we have two new champions. But one cannot escape the feeling that neither one of these fights — or, for that mat ter, these new champions - would have filled the arena on their individual drawing-power?

London, Oct. 23. Several of Britain's Mem- bers of Parliament are lind- ing their support in the challenge against the entor- tainment tax which is crippling motor-cycle speed- way racing, Britain's second most popular sport.
Most promoters and observers are both agreed that saturation point in luxation has now been reached with the levy of 1/13. on every half-crown ticket bold for a speedway match.

economics, they argue, would have their effect on the general Klandard of racing, and the sequel to higher admission charges would, incat probably "cut both waya" to the detriment of the British Treasury and the sport alike.
Many apendway promoters have not finished "all square" on the 1850 season.
It does seem paradoxical that a sport attracting annualis more than 12 million support- ers has to meet such a high entertainment tux lavy when, for football matches and other non-betting sports like speed- way, the lax is only 3d. on a half-crown ticket.
