VIEWS ON NEUSEL

STRICKLAND BOUT NEW ZEALANDER TOOK DEFEAT IN VERY SPORTSMANLIKE MANNER AUSTRALIAN WELTER DISAPPOINTS

(By "B. BENNISON”)

Glasgow, October 23. shall always maintain that Maurice Strickland, the New Zealand heavyweight, scored, more points than Walter Neusel in their widely-discussed and keenly-awaited fight at Wembley Jack

Smith, however, decided otherwise, and the trek.

mendously strong German was returned the win- ner amid a thunder of disagreement seldom heard at the ring-side.

Some 10,000 people looked on. Of them 95 per cent, judged by their roar of disapproval, had no manner of doubt that the man in charge had made a big mistake. The noise and clatter, and the scenes which followed, hurt boxing hard, for while folk hooted and booed, there developed a free-for-all fight in the dressingroom of Neusel, during which, it is alleged, the actual pugilists' respective managers put up a very realistic little bare-fist side show. Both were rather the worse for wear after the impromptu battle.

I cannot say at the moment of writing what action, if any, will be taken by the Board of Control. To me it was all a disgraceful. business, and the sooner forgotten the better. It is for Damski and Daly to settle whatever may be their differences. I am truly sorry for Neusel and Strickland
