OUTCRY AGAINST MILLS Services Two British

FIGHT WITH BAKSI

(By Vernon Morgan)

London, Nov. 11. There has been an outcry against unfair match- making following what most critics describe as the "massacre" of Freddie Mills, the British cruiser-weight champion, by the American giant Joe Baksi, who with a two-stone advan- tage, pummelled Mills into submission at the Harringay Arena. Both Mills' eyes were badly cut and his left eye was completely closed, causing him to retire in the sixth round. The blame has been laid at the door of the British.

Soccer Teams For Continent?

(By Vernon Morgan)

London, Nov. 11. Demands by foreign countries for a visit by an

English Soccer team during the close sea son are so great that the Football Association are considering the possibility of fielding tw teams for Continental trips.

This would only be falling into line with many Continental nations who habitually field first and second national sides. France, Holland, Denmark and Sweden are notable in this res- pect. Usually two or three days are set aside each season for internationals and no League, games are played on those days. It is not un- usual for two international sides to be fielded on the same day.
