HUTTON MISSED IN THE SLIPS:

THE ANKRAH - McCARTHY BOUT SHOULD KEEP THE FANS HAPPY

Says DENNIS HART

The ill wind which, as the proverb says, always does someone some good, has whipped round the Piccadilly office of Jack Solomons, boxing promoter, bookmaker, fishmonger.

It brought the news that American Baby Ortiz will be unable to fight British Featherweight Champion Sammy McCarthy at Harringay on December 7 and sent genial Jack into a frenzy of negotiations to find a substitute. He finally signed up Roy Ankruh, the Black Flash from the Gold Coast.

Keenan Thinks It Will Be

The Most Important Fight Of His Career

INTERPORT DINNER

Hopes To As The Visiting Side Next Year

Hongkong Win As

Hongkong would have to do much better next year when it will be Singapore's turn to act as host and to become the home side, if we hope to break this trend of the home side always winning, commented the Hon. Kwok Chan, President of the Hongkong Footbal Association, at a dinner in honour of the visiting Singapore "Aw. Hoe" Cup team, at Winner House last night.

The dinner was attended by a large majority of the Colony's football fraternity, and prominent public figures who included Mr Justice Reece, Mr D. W. Benson, and Mr Jock McKelvie.
