CONQUEROR AND VANQUISHED

JACK SOLOMONS FINALLY THINKS ONE UP THAT'S

TOO FANTASTIC

Says HAROLD MAYES

No-one who has watched Jack Solomons keeping Britain on a high plane in boxing, financially, since the war, can do anything but marvel at the way he has produced ideas which have come off. He has kept the old country in a position comparable with that of any other, including the United States, in spite of hering to juggle with never more than a handful of top-line names,

If any particular notion has looked a little doubtful, such as the suggestion that Lee Savold and Bruce Woodcock were really fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world, he's always had the paying public stringing along, with him.

Now, however, he comes along with a suggestion which, on examination, is so fantastic that one might almost believe all the other successful brainwaves could have been just accidental.

ENGLAND'S WEAK SOCCER

DISPLAYS REVIVE A CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT

London, Oct. 29.

England's weak displays in her first two internationals of the season, in which she only drew with France and Wales, has revived one of the most controversial of soccer subjects.

なご

Don Cockell, the British and Empire Lightheavyweight Champion, stands over Albert Finch, the former Middleweight Champion, after successfully defend- ing his title in London.

15-round Finch was knocked out in the seventh of a scheduled

contest. Cockell's next fight will probably be with Joey Maxim of America for the latter's world title.-Express Photo.
