SENIOR LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING ACADEMY

SERIES STARTS TOMORROW

By "GRANDSTAND"

Fans who have followed the Senior Soft- ball League with interest will be treated to some thrilling games in the coming weeks as the Championship Series commences tomorrow with the Braves defending their title against the Canadians at 2.00 p.m., followed by the Jaguars-St Joseph's scuffle in the inaugural games of the Playoff Seriea.

The Junior League playoff, which featured a high standard of play, reaches the final stage this week when the Rexes and Delawares will be engaged in double-headers against the Blackhawks and Dragons.

The Ladies' League, too, will be wound up this after- noon when the Squawa tangle with the Canadians in the only outstanding game of the season's fixtures. Although the outcome will not affect the standings in any way, the batting race among the femmes is still open between Wahoo Gwen Dragon and Canucketto Alice Mar.

When Foul Blows Are Not Fouls

The referee in British professional, boxing is the sole judge, jury, and, occasionally, "executioner" In any bout which he is appointed to control. One of his many duties is the judging and prevention of what constitutes foul fighting.

There are many different tactics which are banned by the rules. Some are not as serious as others, but all of them, if persisted with, can bring disqualification.

This carries with it not only disgrace, but also the forfeiture of a varying percentage of a boxer's purse money, according to the gravity of the offence.

It is, incidentally, the mon- different ways in which a con- sure of a referee that he should test can ond.
