London, Nov. 28.
The noble and manly sport of boxing has been again at- tacked by Dr Edith Sum- merskill, Minister of Na- tional Insurance.
This attractive, titian-haired Labour Member of Parliament for a London division, speaking ‹ at a meeting in South London described the recent title fighti between Bruce Woodcock and Jack Gardner as a degrading exhibition,
"Just as we are ashamed to think that such brutalities as cockfighting or bull-baiting gave our ancestors pleasure, so I be- lieve that our descendants will come to wonder what men and women could enjoy the spectacle last week.
"Pictures of the fighters dis- graced our newspapers."
Saying that the BBC commen- tary was even more degrading, she added: "If the promoters of these degrading exhibitions had to do 10 rounds in the ring be- fore they took their profits there would be по more prize- fighting."
Mr Summerskil, a 50-year- old mother of two children, made this attack after opening. with the statement: "It is OL permanent importance to teach children that violence is the most unintelligent of argu-
ments."

Jack Gardner, the new British Heavyweight Champion, and опе of the objects of the doctor's attack, said: "Boxing is a manly sport. Every boy should have to take part in it to some extent. It knocks the makes him respect the other fellow," -
Gardner added that his trainer had given lessons to the
local sons of several
doctors. who were very keen on it. The promoter, Mr Solomons, disclosed that fought for three years in ring before he became engaged to his wife. Reuter.
