HIS TITLES

BUT EYE INJURY MAY KEEP HIM OUT

BEN FOORD'S. TWO OFFERS FOR NEUSEL FIGHT

(By Harold Lewis)

London, August 19.

JACK PETERSEN is not retiring from the ring. He made that quite plain at Leicester yesterday before leaving for his home in Cardiff after his defeat by Ben Foord, the South African, on Monday night. "I hope to fight for my titles again," he told me, "just as I did after my defeat by Harvey in December, 1933."

-Petersen will be 25 in September, and is quite young enough to start again. But this time I do not think his return will be successful He was beaten on Monday for much the same rea- son that he lost his fight to Harvey in 1933 he was careless and over-confident, stepping within reach of å dangerous opponent without any semblance of guard.

Petersen boxed badly as regards tactics, and he had a poor sense of distance, missing with his punches even when his opponent stood still-as he did for most of the first two rounds. A doctor who was at the fight told me later that in his view, and from what he could see of the wound across the eyebrow, Petersen should not box for at least six months, and that he might conceivably be advised never to enter the ring again, lest some permanent injury to his sight be done.

The cuts of the mouth were not so serious as they appeared at the time, and when he left! Leicester, Petersen showed no sign of the fight except the plaster over his eye. He has £50,000 and earned between £60,000 in less than five years as a professional boxer, and

has saved a considerable pro- portion of his gains. But, if he can secure adequate treatment for his eyebrow scars it seems labsurd to urge him to retire.

INTERPORT CRICKET TRIAL

Teams Not Yet Selected

A FEW SUGGESTIONS

(By "LE. W.")

Although the Interport Selec tion Committee has not yet been appointed, the candidates for the Interpori, against Shanghai will be on view to-day when the first trial match takes place on the Hong Kong Cricket Club ground. | Amongst those playing will be H. | Owen Hughes and A. C. L. Bowker, both of whom have represented the Colony previously and both of whom have served on former Se. lection Committees. Their inclu- sion in the teams, thereforé, ap- {pears somewhat significant.

It is difficult to make any com ment on the match in view of the fact that the sides have not yet been chosen, but it would perhaps be a good idea to play the pro- mising bats against the weaker.. bowlers in order to give them an

N. A. E. Mackay and W. H Colledge are the two players who will be seeking selection as BLU10- per, and in this connection it would be a good idea to let them each keep wicket for two half- innings in order that they may deal with the same bowlers, thus of giving a better indication their comparative worth,

Personally, I feel that there is not much to choose between them. Both are very reliable stumpers and both are opening hats, though Mackay has a more impressive re- cord as far as big scores are con- cerned.

The teams for to-day's game will be picked from the following: A C L Bowker, W. H. Colledge, E. F. Fincher, C. C. Garthwaite, E. L Gosano, A. W. Hayward, G. E Clegg-Hill, W. C. Hung, Col E. St. G.
