Ask any student of boxing which British heavyweight he would nominate as No. 1 challenger to champion Jack Gardner, and you would almost certainly be given the name of Johnny Williams, that im- maculate Welsh stylist from Rugby “comebaçka” in modern boxing.

It will take a champion to win a heat of the 880 Yards run at the AAA Championships at the White City next month. Fourteen British athletes have beaten 1 minute 57 seconds for the distance with the season still young and the sectional championships still to come. A 1156 half-mile is fast going in early sepapp.

Ten British milors have beaten 4 minutes 20 seconds with June not yet over and about a score more are in the 4:20 to 4:25 class. Half-milers turning, to the mile or quarter-mile will find the competition as hot. Britain has never been. potentially stronger in the quarter than she is this season.
