£1,000 FOR A CHAMPION

THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1952.

HONGKONG'S FIRST "TEST" XI

HE MUST BE TOUGH, MUST PACK A WALLOP, MUST BE WILLING TO LEARN

It is 50 years since the world heavyweight crown was British property, safeguarded by Bob Fitzsimmons, the small freckle-faced Cornishman. But the search for a new 'hope' still holds a certain fascina- tion or is it morbid curiosity-for the British fight fan.

That is why more than usual interest is being taken in the latest plans of Lon- don promoter Jack Solomons to find a boxer, to beat Rocky Marciano for the world title.

A few months ago Jack laid a lot of perhaps 20 or 30 the

RHEE SAYS

JUDO IS SPLENDID TRAINING FOR DIPLOMACY

By SYDNEY SMITH Paris, Oct. 14.

A United Nations diplomat, a nephew of South Korean President Syngman Rhee, 52-year- old Dr Hanho Rhee, gave a Judo demonstration with his 27-year-old blonde Swiss wife, Margot, under the floodlights of a popular all-in wrestling stadium and dance-hall off the Champs-Elysees tonight.

There was a hot dog stand in the foyer-and a good deal of hooting in the hall but Dr Rhee, holder of the seventh Dan, and a descendant of the Emperors of Korea, starred ló a fült afid enthusiastic house.
