It is a curious thing that open- air boxing has for so many years boon regarded as a hopeless, pro position, and now, quite suddenly, there is something like a craze for It. During the past 30 years pro- moters have argued-and, I think rightly-that the British public regarded boxing as an indoor even- ing entertaintment, like the theatre, and that daylight would rob it of Its glamour. They said we should no more go to see daylight boxing thon we should desire to see a drama without the footlights, the spotlight, the make-up and the rest of it.
