SOME LIVELY SCRAPS

A very creditable exhibition of boxing and single-stick fighting, which spoke well of the excellent training of the instructor, Sergt. "Kid" Marriott, was given by students of Queen's College in the College Hall this morning.

Six boxing and one single-stick bouts were fought and some live There was a large attendance at ly straps were witnessed, the the Chinese Recreation Club boys being in earnest from gong yesterday to witness the unofficial to gong and many hard knocks | Chinese tennis interport between were exchanged in the best of Khoe Hooi-hye and Ông Ee-kongsporting spirit, which, it was of Singapore, and two local Chin- quite evident, had been well in ese.

Before the business of the Club was dealt with, Mr. Logan re quested the members to stand in silence for a few seconds in memory of their late Hon. Secre- tary, Mr. R. C. Witchell, who died last year.

The Chairman said that the Club buildings were in a fair state of repair, and as far as could be ascertained, free from white ants and dry rot. They were in need of a great deal of paint, and without monetary suppart, they could do nothing The swimming bath was in good repair and the motor pump has apparently given no trouble since it was overhauled by the Dock Company.

They Are But We Are Not Mr. Logan next stated, "Although the Club is in a very bad way financially we are not in debt. As a matter of fact we have in the circumstances, carried on very successfully, There are several Clubs in Hong Kong which are not nearly so success- ful. They are in debt and we are not. But apart from that we are in a different position. There is weight boxing contest between mises.

Khoo won by 6-0; points. 6-3,

Next two lightweights occupied the ring. They were E. H. Esmail and Wong Hon-vee. Wong had the advantage of height and reach which he used well. Esmail was a lively little fighter, but he was too inclined to jump about, and was always playing for the taller boy's face when an attack on the body would have brought more results. The exchanges were so even, however, that extra time of half-a-minute had to be fought and even then the officials could not come to a decision and the bout was rightly declared a draw.

The Singaporeans will again be seen in action at the CR.C., this afternoon when they will engage M. W. Lo and Ng Sze-kwong in a doubles match at 4.30.

The match which is most keenly looked forward to, however, will be to-morrow's match between Khoo Hooi-hye and M. W. La

the bout went to Cheung by a big margin, he having scored freely with both hands on face and body, practically without reply.

Two Heavyweights The next bout brought togethez two heavyweights, O. el Arculli and Chu Wing-cheung, who was last year's school champion. At the open of the first round Chu scored nicely on Arculli, but soon the tables were turned and the Chinese was badly shaken when he stopped a couple of hefty lefts on the nose. He retired at the end of the round claiming that he could not continue because he was out of training.

The last bout was a welterweight mix-up between Pang Tit-cheung and Tong Tung-kai The ex- changes were lively in the first two rounds and there was little to choose between the boys, but Pang made a whirlwind finish in

After some discussions it

ultimately decided the proposals should be put into operation for one year.

A member suggested the popu larising of the Club, by having lady members, holding fetes, etc. The Chairman pointed out the ab- sence of funds and lack of a pro- per ballroom.

Was Mr. Cooke Serious?

Mr. Cooke asserted, "The Club 1918. It is the cheapest Club fees have not been increased since for what you get-in Hong Kong. Where can you get another Club like this?"
