which came about half-way through the 14th round. If anything Hill was then the freshor of the two. We saw a very depressing, if not a scared Baldock. But H, as I understood things, made a fatal mistake when, forced as he was with his back against the ropes, he chanced his right. As quick na lightning, Baldock stepped in and sent along a right-hander full to the jaw, and Hill dropped like a log.

The following games are down for decision to-day in the Mid- week League:-

And now, what of the Poplar hay's future? His plans are to meet Phil Lolosky at the Albert Halle and after that to make preparations for 1 trip to America, there to seek out Bushy Graham. and engage with him in a fight for the bantam title. Of course, I take it that his return Chi- visit to the States will almost ́en- FC.tirely depend upon the result of his Mr affair with. Lolosky. But even if he wins, his adventure to the other side can only be regarded as a gamble.

HOCKEY

The following will represent the Y.M.CA. 2nd XI. against the Club de Recreio II. at King'e Park to-

hard fight since he lost to Smith, and that, what with his long lay off, and the fact that his health has not been all that it might have been, he was inexcusably anxious.

He could not have put himself to a more severe test than when he

matched himself against Hill, who

splendidly fit. It was an old hand, as personified by Hill, against an extremely clever and

precocious youngster, 14 represented by

perhaps no hope that I will ever be

more than a near-to champion."

I have seen much of Hill.

I have not seen this Bushy Graham; few English writers have. But I am taking it that the Yankee is a decidedly formidable proposi- tion. If Baldock beats Lolosky in a thoroughly convincing way, he should regain the confidence that was his when he accounted for

Archie Bell, and in my opinion then made out a good case for his claim The most to be a world beater. encouraging thing in the matter of Baldock is the certainty that he can weather a raging storm.

Kyoto, Yesterday, Reporting on the progress of Mr. Yada's unofficial negotiations with the Chinese Nationalists, Baron Tanaka, speaking at a Cabinet meeting, stated that they were progressing smoothly and there was a bright prospect of set- tling all pending questions except Tsinan. He also stated that the railway negotiations in Manchuria are making steady progress.
