ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION ON PANFILO DISQUALIFIED FOR

CHARITY MATCHES

PROPOSAL TURNED DOWN

The proposal to play a series of matches for charity during the "off suasen" was turned down yesterday al a meeting of the Council of the Hong Kong Fotball Association after some aerimonious discussion. Mr. R. Hall presided.

It appeared that Sub-Inspector F. T. Jumes was approached with regard to arranging a charity competition. He wrote a letter to the Council inform- ing them of the project. Eight Clubs 4 t፦ “ሃ! circularised before the matter came before the Council. It was to this action that the Council objected to at yesterday's meeting,

Disapproved

The Chairman said that the question had been discussed at the previous meeting of the Council when the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotowall offered a cup for competition.. 1 was then decided that they had enough charity cups and, they could not go any further with the proposal. Dr. Kotewall's offer was deelined.

Mr. J. Ormiston concurred with the Chairman,

BUD WALLEY FAILS AGAINST

MIZLER

When Bud Walley met Moo Mizler at the Clapton Stadium on June 25 he was defeated on points over six rounds. It was the second meeting between the two, Walley being dis- qualified in the third round of what was to be a fifteen-round contest on May 19.

"Boxing" has the following ac- count of the fight:---

"Moe Mizler (St. George's) beat Bud Walley (Singapore) on points. This, the curtain raiser, was fully as bright as anyone could have wished. Mizler however, was not only the better boxor, but the speedier of the pair. He went well into the lead

Sub-Inspector James thought, it was deplorable to have acrimonious discus sion on a charitable subject. The Council occupied an important position in the football world and they must be į during the three opening rounds and in supreme control, and therefore they must not stand on false dignity.

The Chairman said that the spirit of the rules had been violated by the action taken.

Mr. James asked if the Council would say there was no room for a competition between August and September. It had never been pat to

the Council.

The Chairman:-Yes, it was put to the Council last week.

Sub-Inspector James proposed: "That this meeting has objection to the St. Vincent de Paul Society fun ning this charity competition 30 long as they abide by all rules and regu- lations governing football in this Colony,"

Mr. J. S. Shak seconded.

later, when Walley began to apply pressure, kept his left geing sharp y and accurately to run out a win- ner by a very large margin."

In an earlier announcement of the fight, the same paper states: Moe Mizler has long been identified as a bundle of fireworks. He has been matched over eight rounds with Bud Walley, the little volcano from Singapore. Bud arrived in Bri- tain with the hope of winning the fly-weight title and if he has not approached very near to this goal, he has at least sent the blood sizzling through the veins of thou-

sauds of admirers. Mizler cannot hope to gain anything in speed of Mr. R. K. Duncan commented on action, since the lad from Singapore what he said Sub-Inspector James had, if possible, even more impetuous taken upon himself on behalf of the than he is himself. Society. In his opinion Sub-Inspector James's duty first of all was to go to the Council.

The Chairaan asked why Sub- Inspector James had not circularised the Council, to which he replied that he wrote a letter to the Secretary. He had asked the Clubs and they must know that they could not play with- out the consent of the Association.

Mr. Hollands said that the letter was most emphatic on that point as dates of commencing and finishing were given.
