They are dying away now, partly because Mills is again in the league side and also because it has been made very plain once more that Mills does not desire to leave and that we, the club, consider him a player far too valuable to be the subject of a transfer.

London, September 16. W. E. Hadley, the All Black's hooker, who is in hospital at Ply- mouth as the result of an injury received in the match at Devon- port, was yesterday stated to be "still fairly comfortable.”

Harry Mizler, 22-year-old London Jewish light-weight, landed at the Albert Hall, Ken- sington, last night, when he beat Gustave Humery, whirlwind French fighter, on a technical knock-out in the eighth round. «

dress were standing of their TOMMY LOUGHRAN chairs waving programmes and hats and yelling encouragement

to the gallant Mizler.
