London, May 7. It was announced yesterday that the King had become Admiral of the Royal Yacht Squadron. His Ma- jesty's decision was made known at the annual meeting at Claridge's, when the Commodore, Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley, presided over a record gathering of members.

It was decided that the following loyal address should be sent to the King:

"May it please Your Majesty, we the Flag Officers and Members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, at our Annual General Meeting assembled, humbly beg that Your Majesty will accept our most sincere thanks for the honour Your Majesty has con- ferred on the Royal Yacht Squadron by becoming its Admiral, and have acclaimed Your Majesty's decision with heartfelt gratitude and en- thusiasm.”

BRITISH BOXER'S WIN

Tiny Bostock Defeats French Holder

Paris, May 6. Attacking from the first Tiny Bostock, the Hanley flyweight and former choirboy, confirmed his claim to be considered one of the leading boxers at his weight when he beat Valentín Angelmann of France, World flyweight champion, according

to

the International Boxing Union, over 10 rounds in Paris to-night.

It was one of Bostock's ambi- tions to emulate Peter Kane în beating Angelmann, and by bring- ing it off he has advanced a step on: the road to a world championship fight with Benny Lynch. Angel-. mann's L.B.U. title was not at stake to-night."
