Kerrison, who meets Stoker Wat ters in the top liner, gave a very favourable display. His double hand work was very interesting to watch and difficult to get away from. Daniels who takes part in an eight round contest with Stoker Neil, was put up against an experienced and heavier boxer in Parsons. He struck us as a hard hitting and clever boxer who will take some stopping by a man of his weight. This contest should provide a few thrills. Sergt. Rogers of the Wiltshires was also out but frankly he is not in the same class as the others who were bozing. He is a trier however, and can do damage with a snappy straight hit. He should tot up quite a number of points with it.
