N.B.A. CRITICISES BOXING BOARD

London, August 22-The Na- tional Boxing Association, In a statement yesterday, criticises the Stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control, who, they al- lege, "have no interest in the professional boxers' claims for fair wages and decent conditions." "Our efforts to obtain the co- operation of the Stewards have been completely. unrewarded,” the statement adde. “They see boxing only from the ringside at large tournaments, whereas effi- clent control can only be exer. clsed by those who know condi- tions intimately from the 'Inside.' The sport as it ́affecté boxers is still steeped in injustice and cor- ruption."

BUTLER'S GOOD WIN OVER KEMP

Don Butler, the holder, virtually swept his quarter-final opponent, C. A. Kemp, the Irish internationalist, off the centre courts at the North of Eng- land Championships at Scarborough yesterday, but Deloford, of Kent, was extended by Lord Pollington before he won through to meet Butler in the semi-finals. Butler lost only two games to Kemp in the first set; but was three down in the second before he won six smashing games in a row for victory.

Deloford had a much more difficult task. Lord Pollington, son of Lord Mexborough, and. chairman of the Chapel Allerton Club, has never gone far in this tourney, but this week he surprisingly beat O. Anderson; the American, and walked-over to meet Deloford. He took only 'four games from the Kent man in each set, it is true, but this was a distinct success for the Yorkshireman. Indeed, if Lord Pollington can maintain the marked improvement in his play he may well achieve his ambition and play for the country.

EARLIER RESULTS

The principal attraction on the first day was the Yorkshire singles final held over from last week, and in this H. S. Burrows retained his title against J. L. Chamberlain, five times cham- pion in past years. Chamberlain was unlucky not to get at least a set. He was clearly upset by a line decision which robbed him of the first set, and he lost the next two sets, to give Bur- rows a straight three sets victory.

There were plenty of early sur- prises in the opening rounds of the North championships. In the men's

singles, where Don Butler, of Worces tershire, is defending his title against
