Boxers' Union Taker Up
Abrew's Case
The refusal of the British" Box- ing Board of Control to recognise the right of Manuel - (“Kid") Abrew, the coloured heavyweight, to contend for the Scottish, Bri- tish, or Empire title has evoked a protest from the National Union of Boxers.
"He was born in Scotland, and it is a scandal that he should be denied his rights as a citizen of the Empire simply because he does not happen to be white, said an official of the Union. The Union demands that the ruling of the Board shall be revoked, and that Abrew shall be acknowledged as Scottish cha spion and be given the right to challenge for the Bri- tish title."
Cheltenham, June 24. EVER in living memory, old Kent cricketers will tell you, have their county suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as pain- fully as they are doing this season. Already they have had eight defeats in the championship tourna–TTÉ ment-out of 10 matches the fourth in succession having occurred only on Tuesday when they were LUZ AND OMAR overwhelmed by Somerset.

Two bowlers and two batsmen were responsible for the lop- sided state into which the game has already developed at the end of the first day. Goddard and Sinfield shared an irresistible attack, and Barnett and Hammond scored 173 for Gloucestershire's third wicket, Barnett making a century.
