(By "Leighton")

London, May 6.

NO boxing tournament within living memory

has aroused so much enthusiasm, or produc- ed more real and manly boxing, than did the Golden Gloves amateur match, between Great! Britain and America at Wembley last night. Great Britain repeated their victory gained in this time by 7 wins to 4 New York last year against 8 to 3.

The result was in doubt, in spite of a long string of British] = victories to begin with, until the tenth of the eleven bouts, a heavy-weight fight in which V. A. Stuart fought magnificently toS. beat a huge and powerful negro, Jim Howell, on points after a terrific contest. Over 10,000 people were present, and the re- ceipts were believed to be between £4,000 and £5.000, both these! fres being a record for amateur boxing in this country.

HARE DEFEATS

The match opened with a fly-weight fight, full of gloriously NIGEL SHARPE exciting boxing, in which A.

U.S.R.C. ALMOST SURE

OF ONE TITLE HARD TASK FOR MIXED - DOUBLES HOLDERS SIX INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS TO BE MOULDED INTO PERFECT TEAM

(By "Base-Line")

WHAT promises to be a very interesting Lawn Tennis League season will be opened this afternoon with two matches in the Mixed Doubles division, when the United Services Recrea- tion Club,, warm favourites for the title they last won in 1934, meet the Kowloon Cricket Club "A" on the latter's courts and when the Chinese R.C., the holders, entertain the KC.C. "B" at Causeway Bay. The Recreio have drawn a bye in the opening programme and thus have an extra week in which to get their team into shape.

As I see it. the ultimate result in this division is likely to be the most cut and dried affair in all five leagues the U.S.R.C. should win in a canter with the C.R.C. second, K.C.C. "A third. Recreio fourth and K.C.C. "B" fifth.

The U.S.R.C. will be without Miss Rosamund Hancock and Mrs. Rice Evans, but Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Kayll and Mrs. Dowling are a trio who would hold their own against many players in the

Men's "A" Division, and they should feel no qualms on that score. CANTON Goldman is one of the Colony's best doubles players by the way, he is staging an early comeback after his decision to retire from competitive tennis following his success in the H.K.C.C. tournament while Sullivan and Withington are both doubles players above the average.
