On his first appearance in a Toenl

ring, Lending Seaman Mudge of II.M.S. "Berwick" won the featherweight championship of the Colony on Saturday night, in the third tournament of the Hong Kong Boxing Association's

season.

Displaying fine knowledge of ringcraft and generalship, he restrained himself for most of the 16 rounds against Signalman Shons of IM.S. "Serapis" and launched his successful counter- attack at the right time to secure the verdict on 'points. Mr. R. M. Dyer (chairman of the H.K.B.A.) fastened the G. M. Young belt on the winner amidal applause.

The programme originally cop tained "five bouts, but on account of Stoker Car of II.M.S. "Titania" and A. B. Davies of H.M. Sub- marines failing to pass the medi- cal officer's examination in the morning, their respective bouts with Stoker Walton of H.M.S. "Hermes" and Ldg./Smn. Hall of H.M.S. "Titania" were cancelled.

on the programme as the curtain

Fraser had his man's measure in the 9th and badly marked his face, but Clayton was always game, and played hard to land his right upper cut. In the last round Fraser went all out. He floored Clayton twice for counts of eight and when his man went to the boards for a third time,

the

latter's seconds throw in the towel at "four."

Odell v. Munro

Two men not on the programme figured in the third bout of the evening. It was a six-rounds light- weight contest between A. B. Odell (131 lbs.) of H.M.S "Hermes" and Pte. Munro (134 lbs.) of the 1st Bedfs. and Herts Regiment.

In spite of his being the shorter and Eghter man, Odell was aggres-. sive in the first round, but found There his man a willing mixer. was a lot of holding by both men in the accond round and twice they were

They fought at long range after this. Munro found Odell a difficult man to land on. They mixed better in the third, but neither did much damage. They were very lively in the fourth and both lamied amartly on the head. The soldier showed tnability to take it in the mid- section and Odell played for this knocks spot at the cost of some on the head.

They closed again in the fifth but neither could land a vital blow.

Odell went. after his man in the sixth, but Munro's reach raiser was cancelled, and the first atood him in good stend. Odell bout of the evening, was a six- round welterweight contest begot the verdict for aggressiveness.
