Tuurpin, the 24-year-old brown killer from Leaming- fen, brought 60.000 roaring spectators to their feet as he knocked Cockell off his for the second time in that 11th round.

The Olympic Games Again Shun Electric Timing

One wonders why athletics is the one important sport| in the Olympic Games that will not take full and proper advantage of the help of modern science in time and judging.

Accuracy, guaranteed to a 100th of a second, has been offered, but once again hand timing-proved so unreliable by the infallible electric timing-will be in operation.
