[By "The Tramp."] Again has a championship fight produced a verbal battle in the wake of the fistic encounter, Mr. Dempsey asserts that when he knocked Mr. Tunney down in the 7th round the latter stayed there for over nine-indeed, over ten seconds, and that, therefore, the fight, together with the world's championship, should have been awarded to the aforesaid Mr. Детрнеу: However, it seems that a protest lodged on behalf of the defeated man was disallowed: after the exhibition of the slow motion film of the fight. It is in- deed a pity that squabbles like this nowadays invariably follow a big fight. Big money has, I think, a lot to do with them. A number of rules now to the laws of box- ing as I know them were intro- duced, we are told, before the fight commenced. Evidently the organisers did not go far enough, A mechanical device which auto matically commenced to count off the seconds as soon as either of the contestants was knocked off his feet would have prevented the present row.

The evening of November 5, my old friend "Josh" Lrook tells me, will see the opening of the local bbxing sensoTI. It is hoped to stage some rousing programme at the Theatre Royal from that date onwards, though it is too early yet, of course, to announce anything like a definite card. We are never sure of the movements of the rival vessels in harbour. from which it is hoped to draw much worthy material. However, Mr. Brook, the manager of the
